    Question Red focus light for night dive photos.

    I have been shooting UW photos for a few years now. My setup is the Olympus EPL 10 in an AOI housing and two Inon S2000 strobes. I have a Kraken Hydra 1200. I've used in on a few dives and maybe 300 shots so far. I might be doing something wrong but when it's on and I'm trying to find and focus...

    As usual there is little information in the article. From a Facebook post another group of divers nearby saw CPR being administered on the shore. No information if it was pre or post dive. I'll try and get more information as it's available...if it's available...

    La Paz water temperatures

    We're going to be on a live aboard in the La Paz area in a few days. We live in Bonaire and dive here a lot. Unfortunately that means we've adjusted to the temperatures here. We have a selection of wet suits and just need to know what the temps are running at depth this month. Thanks,

    G2 Log Empty

    I've had my G2 for a while. Last time I downloaded my log I had 311 dives on it. Today I connected it to my iMac and tried to download the new dives. No new dives were detected. That was odd. I looked at the log on the G2 and it was empty other than dive statistics showing 320 dives, longest one...

    Apeks XTX 200 IP issues

    I have an Apeks XTX 200 with close to 400 dives on it. It's been serviced every couple of years and never had a problem until the last year. Admittedly we moved to Bonaire and 250 of those dives were in the last 18 months or so and now the IP moves around. It will work fine for a while and then...

    EPL10/AOI housing vacuum/moisture detection

    On an earlier thread there was a discussion as to whether the battery in the AOI case was replaceable. It is but you have to replace the whole system, moisture strip and all. Apparently moisture sensors are not available as a single replacement part either, although the fact they're held in by...

    G2 and iMac

    I used to be able to connect my cable between my iMac and my G2 and download dives. Not so any more. It refuses to be seen that way. No problem. I'll just connect via Bluetooth. Nope. My iPad connects fine but that version of Logtrax is very clunky compared to the slightly better...

    ELF attachment

    I recently passed the required PADI Lion Fish Hunter Distinctive Specialty Course to obtain the only legal method of harvesting Lion Fish in the Marine Park that surrounds Bonaire. I've used pole spears in the past and of course they're superior but not allowed so I'm stuck with what I have...

    Scubapro G2 PPO2 setting.

    At one point I wanted to see if I could set my ppO2 to something other than 1.4. I tried it several times and always got "Changes not saved". I was diving with my friend the other day and he had his Shearwater Teric set at 1.6. We got to talking after the dive and my curiosity was piqued again...

    Apparent sudden death of TG 5 with solution (fixed)

    I was sure my camera and strobes were charged. Went diving, camera setup worked decent for the first part of the dive. I took about 20 shots or so. I was trying to get a sharp tailed puffer in decent focus and my LCD was black. I thought it shut it self down on time out. I pushed the on/off...

    Computer Travel Case

    My Uwatec Luna came with a nice little zippered clamshell to protect it in my luggage. I have a G2 and the case that came with it was way more than needed. I'd like to find another clamshell type of case yet my Google searches either come up empty or I have to buy them from a site in Britain...
