First time diver in Bonaire, been shore diving for two weeks just now in a shorty, rash guard shirt, and with a small hood. Am 69 years old, 150 total dives, also a overheater, out of shape but not fat, and not as stable as I ever was. That all said, I have only fallen a couple times with minor...

I should add the roadside food trailer Lionfish Lady near Windsock did have expensive, but nice, lionfish sandwiches and wraps.

We have driven by Zarpin a couple times. Sign said "No dish today" on the door. Went to Eddie's last night. No fish there either! :(

Good idea on dive ops. I have been using Dive Friends. Doing a guided Ostracod dive with them tonight. I don't dive often enough to require replacement light to be ordered with next few months, so keep me in mind when looking down in July. Great dive location.

I use a Sealife Seadragon 2300 light with red filter mounted on the cold shoe for focusing. On this morning's dive, it became loose without my knowledge as I "otter kicked" myself towards the wreck's aft dive bouy with the camera nestled on my chest. Will reward 50% of replacement cost if found...

Are there good places to buy local seafood, and/or eat prepared lionfish?

Has anybody used fairmiles-carrental.com?

Ha! Lots of feed and tackle stores, but no dive shop. I have yet to visit the one in Grand Junction

I just figured how to create a personal album here, and have uploaded some more photos. These are all un-retouched JPGs. I "think" I have adjusted permission so all SB members can view here. Let me know if issues or comments. PM preferred.

The DC2000 gets darn good results without a macro lens. Check out my personal album here. This was done with a single strobe and one floodlight used to help focus.

I have determined how to upload photos into a personal album, and adjust its permissions. How do I ... 1. Create my own member "gallery"? 2. Upload/copy those photos unto a "gallery" 3. Adjust setting to view more an nine "albums" at a time when browsing Categories, Galleries and Albums are...

I didn't purchase nor try this as i knew the class was macro focused.

Returned from photography seminar in Anilao, Philippines and my first usage. Other than one GoPro user, I was seriously "out gunned" by all other dozen attendees. But I was quite happy with my results as compared to these well experienced, well equipped, semi-pro photographers. My "cost per...

Figured it out!!:bounce: The Ext Flash mode is one of the "Underwater Modes". Since I was testing above water, this never crossed my mind. Apparently one can not use the stronger external flash unit in lieu of the small internal strobe in a base camera. With this new fact in mind, I turned on...

I also don't understand about the 2300 flood lights. They are supposed to auto-darken upon seeing the "pre-flash" so that they will not interfere with the strobe exposure. Now that my strobe is firing only on the pre-flash, not when the shutter actually opens, it suggests that the external...

The DC2000 does not have a Ext Flash mode - at least I can't find it on the camera menus.

Just purchased and hooked together prior to leaving tomorrow (go ahead and rant) for two weeks photo and dive vacation in Philippines. Everything works except the strobe seems to fire with the pre-flash, and not when the shutter opens. All pictures appear with no strobe lighting. If I remove...

Did you check with SeaLife to see if there was a problem with the auto-dim?

I truly understand and agree with all that has been written above. However I am not sure my basic query is understood. "Most" cameras use internal color adjustment algorithms that were designed for air. The SeaLife was designed for primarily under water use. Thus I would expect their internally...

Dang, I was hoping some the photos take would be "usable" without spending lightroom time!
