Hi gang, A few weeks ago a group of us dove in abandoned Titan I Missile Silos in Washington State. Very aesthetic dive into cold war history! Here's my video: https://vimeo.com/100983274

Hi gang, At Henderson Pt, Victoria, can anybody provide me a bearing to the the small cabin cruiser wreck down there? Thanks

I do realize the scope of this question... I hope to narrow down the near endless options the Keys offer. I'm looking at coming to the Keys in June 2014 for a week. I want to dive lots. My buddy and I are experienced and we like wrecks. Deep wrecks, shallow wrecks, big wrecks, small wrecks...

Hi gang, I have a general question re: dome ports. I gather that the reason to use a dome rather than flat port in u/w imaging is to widen your angle and cut your physical distance to the subject. Is that about right? If my cam/housing with a flat port currently has no vignetting, how can I...

Hi, I'd like to start a discussion to open up possibilities and see where it leads... The basis of my query is that there is no substitute for local knowledge. I have some time off in August and am looking for a dive destination. It can be cold/warm/fresh/salt/inland or coastal/near or far...

I currently have a back-inflate BC with 25 lbs lift, and am looking at buying an 18 lbs plate & wing. I dive drysuit with 36 lbs lead, but no pony bottles, twins or other heavy gear. Opinions vary wildly on this question so I'm looking for a consensus. Is 18 lbs lift enough for cold water...

I have a question re: the MOD of EANx at altitude: The MOD for EAN32 is 110 feet at sea level, but say I'm diving at 5000 feet above sea level. My adjusted altitude depth is 132 feet while diving 110 feet. Does that mean I've shot past my 1.4 ATA goal & am exposing myself to 1.6 ATA at this...

Is there an optimal - or minimal - distance off axis for video lights to minimize backscatter?

Hi everybody, I just bought a Sony HDR-PJ710V camera and after shooting some test footage I notice the clips are in MTS format - which I gather from comments all over the WWW that it is not a well-liked format (but high quality). I want to convert the MTS files to M4V files to edit in iMovie...

I have two specific questions about the HDR-PJ710V as it relates to using underwater in a housing: 1) Can I do manual white balance through the menus WITHOUT accessing the mechanical knob by the lens? While in the housing, I have no way of manipulating that dial, but I have full (electronic)...

Does anybody have the definitive list of wrecks off of Bonaire? I realize people define 'wreck' differently based on their own experiences. Say, any man-made vehicle larger than a rowboat... And those within rec limits. I have Hilma Hooker, Our Confidence (not a commonly-visited site), The...

Hi gang, I'm planning a BC dive trip around Easter this year (End of March) and I'd love to hear some views on where I'll find the best West Coast diving that time of year... (Yes, I do recognize how wide in scope this question is...) Browning Pass? Nanaimo? Victoria? Sunshine Coast? Gulf...

I'm in Mexico and in minute 1 of dive 1 on day 1 my housing floods destroying my friend's Canon A710 (which I had borrowed for the trip) :o( I'm heading to dive some cenotes (cavern zone) next week and I need a new HD video camera with good low light capabilities that I can find locally... So...

Hi gang, What do you think of the NiTek Duo? I'm looking at a used one that appears to be a really good deal. It reviews well, but I'd like to get personal use opinions from owners. Thanks!

Hi everybody, I've been researching this for some time now, looking for the best digital video camera for underwater use - and then the best housing for that camera. This is what I've learned so far: 1. Finding comprehensive OBJECTIVE camera reviews is difficult 2. Finding answers to my...

I'm visiting the Okanagan over the Thanksgiving weekend and would love to dive the Fintry Barge or wall. Is there any club activity on the lake that long weekend? Any locals interested in taking me on a shore dive or two?

Hi, A buddy and I are having a friendly debate. If we're making two dives in a day, one on Nitrox and one on air, does it matter which gas is used first? For example: Let's do our first dive to, say, 70 feet. I'll use Nitrox on that dive. After an adequate surface interval, we dive again -...

This is confusing me. I may get it, but I don't know if I get it. Because I use a computer, I suppose I don't really need to get it. But I want to get it. Hopefully somebody can help me get it. Get it? When my chart says the Oxygen Exposure Limit for 1.4 PPO2 is 150 min for a single dive...

Hi gang, I'm new to the forum. I have the discontinued 9523.32 tray with dual handles & I want to remove the right handle to attach a GoPro housing to the tray beside my other housing. But I cannot figure out how to remove the handle. Is it a proprietary attachment tool? I've tried every...
