Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for this idea to replace with N batteries! The ones I have say they're 1000mah, so they likely won't last as long as the CR12600SE (1500mah) but they're cheap and easy to find. I'll be diving mine next week, but they showed full bars even after some time...
I was getting a pink blinking light on my AOI flash trigger in my E-PL10 housing and both the manual and Dr. Google were completely unable to help. I was able to diagnose that a water drop had made its way into the USB-C connector on the cable that runs from the hot shoe to flash trigger. I...
I bought an E-PL9 and am running it in the Backscatter Octo Housing made by AOI. It has a flash trigger/vacuum seal system and the manual states it can operate down to 32F. Well, I hopped into 39F water this morning and the results were not good. The strobes fired irregularly (mostly not at all)...
This looks like a really interesting option. I'd love to see some side-by-side UW macro shots with this lens and with no lens as you've got with the wider shots. I just did a dive last week with some large siphonophores in the water column and was really missing a few more degrees of FOV.
I ended up picking these up during that sale and I've got about 10 dives on them. They're super comfy. I did a 35 minute dive in May in 45 degree water and I was nice and warm. My only complaints are that the stirrups are quite loose and there's no thumb loops, which would be especially handy...
I did - got about 5 dives on the gloves so far. Looking forward to further cold water testing this winter!
The gloves are nice. There's an instructional video to help with setup, but attaching to the suit is a PITA due to difficulties stretching the o-rings. I'll bet if I had a second pair of...
You can hit up the New England Scuba Divers Facebook group: Facebook. Lots of people posting about their dives, looking for buddies, etc.
I'm relatively new to New England diving (100 warm water dives prior to getting my drysuit cert and diving here), but I've enjoyed the shore diving sites off...
On a recent dive, the plastic cover of my Whites Fusion Tech exhaust valve disappeared. The rest of the valve is intact and still appears to work correctly after inflating the suit in my basement and venting.
Two questions:
1) Anyone know if it's possible to get a replacement plastic cover...
I'm doing some tank shopping now and would love to hear what you think of the HP117 - I'm 5'11" and I find that the HP100 is just a bit long on me. Seems like that extra inch + the extra air might be worth some extra cash.
Unless you get one of those masks with a GoPro mount, I suspect you won't love the footage from a static mount. I recommend either a monopod (selfie stick, nice for getting closeups without sticking your face in scary places) or a tray like mako posted. I built a tray with some supplies from...
Ambergris Caye is pretty awesome. We stayed at Ramon's and had a great experience diving with them as well. I believe they have 3 local dives daily (9, 11, and 2?) - you just show up when you want to go. I think the most we had was 4 guests on the local dives and their local boats are a pretty...
It started as a question and then I figured I'd share the results of my research since I got no responses and the internet has very little information on this product.
I'm not affiliated with East Coast Divers in any way, just sharing what I believe to be a good deal.

Swung by the LDS today and got to look at these gloves. They do appear to be Kubi clones with the slight twist of the rings being irregularly shaped to fit your hand. They both have metal rings and attach to your existing latex seal allowing you to keep your wrist seal intact in case of glove...
Swung by the LDS and chatted with them about these undergarments. He said they were pretty similar to the Halo 3D, which is what he dives. Like the Halo, they're quite thin and flexible, but are still very warm. They're also significantly cheaper than the Halo 3D ($480 vs. $620). I asked about...
Thanks for the responses everyone! Went to my LDS today and they recommended not getting rings if I'm going to use this glove system (as I suspected). They also eased my nerves a bit about seal rips - the owner dives a lot and said he's only had a couple rip on him ever.
