I got one last week. I really got excited at first, when I found out that there is integration with Garmin so that you can show the stats of your activities on display. It turns out that it is not including diving.. It would have been nice to show depth/time ndl/deco information.

What is the conclusion on ace pro? Recommended over Dji? I have seen mixed reviews, some criticize ai to change wb abruptly and making some footage not usable and there are others not bothered by this. My understanding is one is not doing much post correction and do not use lights, ace pro is...

I think you meant adventure dives.. Yes that dive counts as the first dive of deep diver specialty course (out of 4 dives). So, in theory it can shorten your course as you have to do 1 less dive and might as well reduce the cost of the course. But on the other hand, pre-request for DD course is...

I do not see this being relevant, it is natural each region will have their own requirements so it is expected that each dan region will have their own policy for their members. As you said earlier, legal part of these is pretty complex. As far as I see, IDA is a subsidiary of DAN Europe, so...

Nah, insurance is just a member benefit. It is no secret though majority is joining due to insurance benefits. In this video they explain it:

Dan does not sell insurance, they are themselves are (giant) group policy holder. By being a member, you are just part of that group.

Most common use is in macro, using high speeds to darken background completely to bring out the object. When I upgraded to slr, I was pretty disappointed not being able to use hi speeds. Without hss, to darken the background pitch black, you need to have clear empty water behind the object also...

Yes and no, strobes outlives many cameras. My Inons were used with Canon, Nikon and Oly and once I got rental Sony and it was plug and play with that as well. Rc will not be as versatile. And most people move onto slr/mirrorless sooner or later so sync speed will become relevant in the future...

Especially with leaf shutter, I do not see any specific need to pick rc over any other type. Maybe if you want to control the strobe settings over the camera menu, but that is not so practical anyway. And your argument is subjective keeper rate.

Sorry, too long and not so relevant and a ChatGPT style response. I am pretty sure @cerich understood. If I give a high shutter speed in conjunction of sync, I do mean high speed sync. He rightfully pointed that there are strobes labeled as rc, and my response is, rc without high speed sync is a...

I am talking about Olympus slr/mirrorless specifically. In order to sync high speed shutter, you need both camera and strobe supporting same rc protocol, in the case of Oly, it’s UFL-2. I think there were newer models “supporting” rc mode but not being able to sync in high speeds. The way I see...

Do they sync in say 1/2000?

To my knowledge ufl 2 is only fully RC compatible strobe and has been long discontinued. I recommend you to go for a used Inon. Check Kleinanzeigen in Germany for secondhand, I am sure no one minds to ship to CZ as long as you pay the shipping.

Ear beer does not do much for the infection or the fluid in middle ear. You need sinus rinse to remove the mucus blocking the expelling of the fluid. Regarding Sudafed, recommended combination of pseudoephedrine to my knowledge is the combination with paracetamol. I do not recommend valsalva...

Norm was to hand the signed envelope to the student so that they can post it once they are back home. In OPs case Finland-Uk. That post is not likely to get lost. Question is, whether op can remember having received a pic or temp card. That should reveal whether they are padi or not.

Back in 2001, majority of padi dive centers used paper pic, not digital registration. If op received an envelope (pic) to send, then, it was probably padi, so, it can be looked up online. Iirc, Mozambique was falling under Padi Int in those years, so, students would post the pics to UK and would...

Dive pros need to keep time at all times not only at the bottom as they are responsible of the flow of the whole day as well as course schedule. Many pros I know use a dive watch, I personally used only watch sized dive computer and I could not do without "time". Many pros who use full size dive...

To be honest, I would recommend you to crossover to another organization like Padi, if you want to travel and work international. Or at least try to cross over to local cmas on the country you are living most of the time. With cmas it can be tricky, as you found out, there can be very different...

It is called Alternobaric Vertigo, I doubt it is the case for OP. Because symptoms start uw, it is probably not connected to dcs, either. It could be inner ear related.

You have to check with your local federation. Issuing federation decides what the rules are. Usually there is a member fee to be paid yearly. If you do not pay, you cannot issue certification. Do Belarusian federation issue the cards for the students you trained? If yes your qualification is...
