    YS-D1 - Cracking on Case at Ball Mount Strobe Adaptor

    Hello there! A friend of mine pointed out that both my YS-D1 strobes had cracks on them and that he had noticed a number of other YS-D1 strobes had the same problem. There appears to be a weak point where you attach either the ball adaptor or the YS-Adaptor to the strobe. The cracks are just...

    Manado and KBR or Puerto Galera?

    Hi there I am in a quandary. I'd like to book a diving holiday but am not sure which to choose - Manado and KBR OR Puerto Galera in the Philippines. I'd like to see lots of beautiful reefs, big fish (such as reef sharks, napoelon wrasse) and big schools of fish for WA photography as well as...

    Nudibranchs standing up?

    I've seen photos of nudibranchs standing up... Sort of half on the coral and the other (front) half raised up against a dark background. How come I have never seen nudis like this on any of my dives over the past 10 years?

    Inon Z240 - too complicated - any alternatives?

    I have a Canon G16 as my point and shoot and a Canon 600D as my DSLR. I use one INON Z240 as I don't dive in conditions where I can shoot WA. The INON is driving me crazy. I am so stressed with all the settings (I like to shoot on M and AV, mostly M because I shoot macro and like black...

    S95 + SubSee Diopter or upgrade to G15?

    Here's the rub... My everyday go-to camera is an S95 in ikelite housing and when I get the chance to do some slow, relaxing holiday diving I use my Canon 600D with Sea and Sea RDX Housing. My favourite subject is nudibranchs but I don't get the detail or magnification I want with my S95 or...

    YS-D1 problems - any solutions or alternatives?

    I am so terribly disappointed - I purchased a YS-D1 in May last year and had problems with it because the TTL was not working and the focus light would not come on. I returned it. I then got a replacement YS-D1 and the batteries would drain overnight, I was able to take 2 photos on a dive and...

    Strobe suggestions - what to buy for use with Canon DSLR?

    Can anyone advise what strobe would work best with a canon 600D in Sea and Sea housing? I want to be able to use the optic fibre to connect strobe to housing. Would prefer the TTL option. I am not willing to consider the YS-D1 strobe as I am returning mine as it is the 3rd faulty one I have...

    Canon S95's Ikelite Housing came apart under water - has this happened to you?

    I was diving with my S95 in Ikelite housing this weekend with a buddy of mine who was using the same setup but with a wide angle lense with 67mm thread which screws on to the end of the port part of the housing. Halfway through the dive, when he unscrewed the wide angle lense, he looked down to...

    Oh I am sooo gutted. After doing so much research on what DSLR to buy I decided to get the Canon 600D. I haven't got it in the water yet as I have been waiting for the housing - due next week. I read today that the 650D is due to be released on Monday - and it looks really great. This, I...

    How do you get into the water from a liveaboard with your camera?

    I've dived in the Red Sea twice now but only with a compact camera. Most entries are the "giant stride" method off the back of the liveaboard. It worked fine with the compacts but I've recently upgraded to a DSLR with arms. What is the best way of getting you - and your hefty DSLR camera...

    Seeing black when descending

    Yesterday I did a dive down to 17m. This was my first dive of the day (and first dive in 10 days) I was not stressed, I was relaxed, and when I was descending (breathing regularly), I suddenly got black blobs in front of my eyes at about 10m (I'm guessing 10m) Not really blobs, it was like...
