Yes they are.

One last pic (or 11 if you count them individually :rofl3: ). Here is a composite from First Contact through Bailey's Beads, Totality, the Diamond Ring & Exit to Final Contact taken from the Canadian Raptor Conservancy near Simcoe Ontario.

I did a combined "Birds in Flight/Eclipse Photo Session" at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy near Simcoe Ontario.

Price has been reduced!

I don't put a lot of faith in any forecast beyond 48 hours, but having said that here is the long range for where I'll be watching it. (For those that don't want to work out the conversion, 15C is about 59F.)

I just firmed up my plans. I will be going to a Birds in Fight/Solar Eclipse Photography afternoon at the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. It is just a few km (miles) from the north shore of Lake Erie. From there, I should get about 3 minutes of Totality.

REDUCED PRICE! Now $600. I have sold my Sony A6000 camera and lenses, so I am eager to sell my Housing and Lens Ports. Having said that, I would prefer to sell in Canada but that is not a requirement, it is just easier logistically. (US Dollar will be taken at par ($1US = $1Canadian) if sold...

EA6B???

In that case, we might have spoken a few times. During that time frame, I was at the 8th Missile Warning Sqn in Eldorado TX as a Mission Crew Commander. (I also spent a lot of time in Colorado Springs then too.)

One thing to keep in mind, is that IF you do opt for a back inflate "Travel BCD" then it will likely be made out of lightweight materials. This may sound good to begin with, but the last one that I had was actually 4lbs positively buoyant. The first 4lbs of lead that I had to carry were just to...

The Captain did a commendable job to try to find us the best conditions that he could. Having said that, the bottom, especially in the shallows was stirred up quite a bit and visibility in the shallows was often (IMHO) pretty bad. For me, and it seems that I was about the only one who this...

I agree! Dive Provo is great and they will treat you well. As others have said though, be ready for long boat rides to/from the dive sites, 45minutes to an hour is pretty typical.

I love that part of the US! I do somewhat regular photo trips through Page AZ, Monument Valley and Moab UT. It has countless stunning vistas! Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I totally understand not wanting to use your R5 underwater especially as a new underwater photographer. Underwater is a hostile environment for a camera and even the smallest amount of dirt or debris on an o-ring has the potential to compromise the seal and flood the camera & housing. I also...

More years ago than I care to mention, I found myself in Key West. I went in to Margaritaville and the hostess who sat me said "You're in luck, the house band is playing tonight & there is no cover charge." What she referred to as the "house band" was Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally, Roger Guth...

Well, as Jimmy Buffett once said, it looks like we will be "Tryin' to Reason with the hurricane season". What is now Tropical Storm Lee looks like it could be a Cat 4 Hurricane by the weekend and might make things "Sporty".

Try talking to Dean at The Dive Academy in Oakville. He is a great guy and if he doesn't have it in stock on the day you drop in, he will be happy to order it in for you. His shop is just south of the QEW/403 by Third Line.

I have stayed at ElCid/La Ceiba a couple times. IIRC, the shore dive from their dock is an airplane wreck (deliberately sunk). If it is still there, it is probably pretty beat up by now, but if it is still there, it makes for a pretty cool, easy dive.

Everyone's face is shaped a little differently. Although not dangerous, a poorly fitting mask will likely leak and that can be both annoying and distracting. OTOH, a well fitting mask will make your dive exponentially more enjoyable. IMHO, your best bet is to go to a local dive shop (or maybe a...

Congratulations! I hope you get lots of use out of them!
