    Will Zen DP-100 work with nikor AF-S 60mm macro lens?

    OK, after reading a few reviews I think the answer to this is yes, but figured I'd ask here for a little verification. I have a Zen DP-100 mini dome for my Tokina 10-17 and definitely want to pick up a macro setup. I've gone back and forth between the 60 and 105 but have convinced myself to...

    Housing buoyancy tweaks

    Howdy Guys, I'm currently working with a brand new rig, and having issues getting it neutrally buoyant. I should probably also mention that all my testing has been fresh water to date, first salt water dives with it will be in two weeks, but I digress... So current rig is: Nikon D7000 tokina...

    SLR/Housing travel tips

    Howdy folks, So now that I finally have my hands on the new housing and strobes I have a few questions about travel. I should mention that I've read through several similar threads, in fact the soft sided cooler/personal dunk tank that I'll be using as a carry on came from one of them. I've...

    Best (digital) underwater photography reference

    OK, so I'm truly excited to say that my new D7000 Nauticam housing has finally shipped. So, with a few live aboard trips booked for the not too distant future I'm looking for the best reference/guide for underwater photography, preferably in book form so I can take it with me. Though, as with...

    Sola 1200 photo as primary dive light

    I tried this in the photo section but no joy, so figured I'd try here. I'm seriosuly considering buying a Sola 1200 photo (with the red LED focus light option) for my camera rig. It's primary purpose in life will be focus/video light. If possible I'd like to use it as a primary light for night...

    Sola 1200 photo vs dive/video model

    Howdy folks, I'm going to pull the trigger on a Sola 1200. My original justification to myself for this indulgence is that it can pull triple duty primary dive light, video light and focus light. Since the original reason for the purchase is a focus light I'm leaning towards the photo version...

    Looking for old but operational (backup) console - US

    Howdy folks, I'm looking for a decent 2-3 gauge console to use on loaner student gear and as a backup to my computer when traveling. Nothing fancy required so if you've got something laying around that you don't need, please let me know. Thanks, Eriin

    OC1 logging question

    I'm currently considering the OC1 for a new computer upgrade. I've downloaded the manual from the webesite and it's unclear to me if the OC1 logs pressure at each sampling and calculates SAC for each time? Can someone confirm if this is the case? Thanks, -E

    Air Integrated computer option for MAC users

    Howdy folks, As an underwater photographer I really prefer a wrist mount, air integrated computer. I'm also a huge fan of the Galieo as a result but unfortunately the requirement of an infrared port for log access means it's just not a fit for me as a MAC user. I'm in the market for a new...

    Stupid focus light question

    Tried this in another location but figured this is a better forum for it. I just purchased a new housing for my D7000 and will be running dual S&S YS-D1 strobes on a pair of 5"+8" arms. My question is with a focus light, which is something I had not really planned on. To most folks that run...

    Focus light

    Howdy folks, I've just purchased my first housing for my D7000, went with the new version of the Nauticam, along with a pair of S&S YS-D1 strobes and Zen 100 mini-dome for Tokina 10-17. This will primarily be a travel rig and I'm curious if I need to consider adding a focus/video light. I'll be...

    YS-D1 with Nautica housing and Nikon D7000

    Can someone fill me in on the details of what is and isn't possible when using the YS-D1 with the Nikon D7000? Specifically, I'm looking looking to leverage TTL, which I believe requires the fiber optic cable but I'm a little confused from the information provide on the website. The...

    Pro Plus 2 stripped screw for battery hatch

    Well, I think I just hosed myself. I was attempting to remove the battery hatch on my PP2 in an effort to download the log info. Didn't realize how soft the heads on those freaking bolts are and stripped the head on one of the bolts out. The really bad news is that it's still in the computer so...

    Request to join private group is hung?

    Howdy folks, I'm having an issue joining a private group (Naui Instructor sub-forum of Instructor-to-Instructor). I've spoken with the mod handling the group and they're telling me they don't see my request and asking that I resubmit and they can approve. Problem is that when I go into the...

    NAUI Instructor Update?

    Howdy again folks, I've been in contact with a few folks from NAUI about getting back into teaching. They've recommended an Instructor update since it's been over a year since I've taught a course. My question is, has anyone here have any experience with this? I've been scouring the NAUI...

    Howdy folks, So I'd say I'm an aspiring amateur photographer spent a lot of time with my D200 and most recently with it's D7000 replacement on land. One of the driving reasons for my upgrade was a planned trip to Truk next year. Ive always promised myself that when I finally bit the bullet and...

    NAUI Instructor Status question

    OK, so years ago while I was in college I completed Naui ITC and taught several classes and really enjoyed it. Since college graduation I've been focused primarily on my career and have remained an avid recreational diver. So long story short, I'm curious what the policies are with respect to...
