    Canon FX Macro options compatible with minidome?

    Hi all, I currently have a Canon 5DM3 with a Tokina 10-17 (realize this is for crop frame, but it's fine from ~14mm onwards) in a nauticam housing with the Zen 100mm mini-dome. I recently read a few threads that mentioned it's possible to use a short macro with the minidome without need for...

    Hi all, Have been progressively upgrading my u/w camera gear over the years and been reminded that I ought to off-load some of my older items.

    Ok, I'm jumping on the thin SS bandwagon. Could I amend my order to have a thin SS medium contour and add on a small thin SS contour as well? Wedges on each! Thank you :)

    Xtar D08 Walrus Corrosion Issues

    No issues at all with the d26 lights and they’ve each had 50+ dives on them. They were what convinced me to give the d08 a try... but alas. Dave Campbell I saw that ad as well while researching the issue and scoffed. It was under water for less than two dives before the first of the residue...

    Xtar D08 Walrus Corrosion Issues

    So I've had really good experiences with the D26 whale and own a few of them now. I've always wanted something with a bit wider coverage and thought the D08 Walrus may be a good fit for photo/video uses. So I bought one for a week of diving in Bonaire. Initially I was quite excited with the...

    Trip report: Grand Cayman, stay at Cobalt Coast

    It was our first time to GC and we weren't super familiar with the general layout of the island. We were looking for a place with a nice house reef and had read some decent reviews on CCGCR, and the prices weren't terrible. They do leave tanks out for night dives there but in our hurry to get to...

    Whale Sharks in Isla Mujeres -- late June vs early July?

    Hi all, We're considering a long weekend trip down for a whale shark snorkel and wonder if there's any significant difference in the number of whale sharks that are there in late June vs early July. Flights are significantly cheaper for us in late June but we would be willing to pay a bit more...

    Trip report: Grand Cayman, stay at Cobalt Coast

    Hi all, So I'm pretty sure we paid significantly more than 12.50 per tank while we were doing the shore dives. Our memory was that it was closer to $25-30/dive while we were out there at both Eden Rock as well as Macabuca but that may be due to having to pay for weight rental as well? Either...

    Trip report: Grand Cayman, stay at Cobalt Coast

    We finally got around to editing and posting our photos from this trip last summer. We had an excellent long weekend where we were able to jam in 10 dives. Highlights included the silversides at Devil's Grotto and a squad of squid on Macabuca. This was right before the hurricanes and we actually...

    YS-D2 flooded on first use... what next?

    In preparation for my recent liveaboard to Raja Ampat, I had thought to try out adding some strobes for the first time to my camera rig and ended up purchasing brand-new 2x YS-D2 right before the trip. I had checked them out at home, hooked them up, and made sure they fired. Everything worked...

    Samambaia -- GREAT Raja Ampat Liveaboard

    Just wanted to re-iterate/clarify: ALL of your gear: tank, weights, BCD, fins, camera equipment, are loaded by the crew/guides into the dinghies before each dive and brought back to the dive deck after. The only things that I carried the entire trip down those steps were my mask and dive...

    Samambaia -- GREAT Raja Ampat Liveaboard

    I think LOB is definitely the way to do it. There are clusters of dive sites that you can hit from the land-based resorts but I think the sites are otherwise spread too far apart to be feasible to see from a resort. We learned that there are probably somewhere between 60-80 dive sites overall in...

    Raja Ampat on the Samambaia?

    We didn't actually see any of the ghost pipefish on this trip. We asked about them and apparently the sites that we were visiting at least were not usually frequented by them. We saw tons of ghost pipefish on a previous trip to Bali though! The passenger and camera rooms are all equipped with...

    Samambaia -- GREAT Raja Ampat Liveaboard

    We just returned from a 11-day/34-dive voyage aboard the Samambaia in late Jan 2018 and our experiences were beyond spectacular. The complete trip recap with pictures at our blog. The boat itself is absolutely beautiful. The passenger rooms were spacious and comfortable, with strong AC and...

    Raja Ampat on the Samambaia?

    We just got back! The trip was unreal and the boat/crew/dive masters were fantastic. Definitely were quite happy with our choice of the Samambaia and would highly recommend them. Read more about our thoughts/experiences on our blog.
