    Big Blue Black Molly 3 for video?

    Anyone using this light for video? How do you like it? I am looking at model # AL2600XWP with the 120 degree beam angle. I will be shooting still photos 90-95% of the time but I do want the ability to shoot video if/when I want to and this seems like the most reasonable cost for decent lumen...

    Mares Puck or spend a bit more for a Suunto Zoop?

    We are strictly recreational divers and will only get to dive once or twice a year, maybe 8-16 dives total. We already have masks, snorkels, fins and wetsuits. Would a couple of inexpensive dive computers be a good idea? Not looking to spend more than $300 CAD or so each. Have been looking at...

    Cuba: Cayo Coco or Varadero for snorkeling?

    Looking to book a trip for early April. Trying to keep this one relatively inexpensive as we are saving for a 4 week trip to Europe next year. Has anyone been to both who can comment on the quality of the snorkeling at these two locations?

    G15 or G1X? Just broke my S95 and need a replacement.

    So I just broke my S95. Given what new ones cost now (if you can even find one) it doesn't seem feasible to replace it. Which really sucks because I have a WP-DC38 that is in pretty good condition. I am keeping my eyes open for a used one but I'm not holding my breath. So the question now is...

    Good, budget snorkeling destinations?

    Looking for input on a good, but not overly expensive destination for a 7 day vacation. All-inclusive is a must. We've been to Akumal so we want to try somewhere else this year.

    Just returned from a 10 day trip to Riviera Maya. Haven't had a chance to process all the pictures yet but this is one of my favourites so far. Taken in Akumal Bay with the S95 + WP-DC38 combo, natural light in about 8 feet of water.

    Tusa Liberator X-Ten: will these fit?

    My GF and I are each looking for a set of fins and dive slippers/booties. I am leaning towards the Tusa Liberator X-Tens with these ScubaMax booties (for walking in on rocky beaches).

    Travel to and around Akumal

    We have just booked a 10 day trip to the Gran Bahia Principe Tulum for the end of May. This will be mostly snorkeling and visiting Mayan ruins, no diving unless I can manage to squeeze in a dive course (which I would rather not rush). We are going to rent a car for the whole time so we can get...

    What else do I need?

    I found this YS-01 package at Ocean Optical: Single Modular YS-01 Lighting Set - Lighting Packages - Optical Ocean Sales Underwater Photo - 800-359-1295! What else do I need to make this work with my Canon S95 and WP-DC38? I'm guessing something like the Sea & Sea strobe mask set in order to...
