    Shore diving the east side

    Hi there, I understand that in order to shore dive the east side, the winds and water need to be calm. I know there are plenty of ops who can guide us here but if we wanted to dive a few sites alone, what tips do you have? Are there any clear signs the conditions are unfavorable? Thanks for any...

    Sony RX100VA - suddenly choppy raw footage

    Been shooting UW video for days in Bonaire and have not switched settings. Shooting auto everything at 1080p/120fps. Footage has looked good every day and today my raw footage is off/choppy. I tried different batteries and both produced the same choppy footage that used to produce smooth...

    Reverse dive profile advice

    I plan on doing two shore dives in Bonaire on regular air. No Nitrox training for me yet, unfortunately. First dive should be max depth of 45 feet for around 45 minutes. I am hoping to follow that up with a 40 minute dive to 75 feet. For both dives, I can't imagine I am at max depth for more...

    Light battery makes noise emanate from charging block??

    I have the two Hydra 5000S+ WSRU lights. When I charge one of my batteries, it makes a noise emanate from the charging block. The noise is not loud but it is noticeable and sounds almost like snow/white noise mixed with that of a generator. I did some trouble shooting between other batteries...

    Flat picture profile for UW video shooting?

    I have a Sony RX100VA. Going to Bonaire next month. I've only shot without flat picture profiles and I think it's turned out mostly well but areas where I want to color correct are difficult for me to do. Do you guys shoot flat? If so, any recommendations for profiles available on my camera...

    Understanding proper gas usage in regulator

    I recently bought a full regulator setup for the first time. Looking through all of the manuals/documentation, something stuck out to me that I need clarification on: "Air used in SCUBA diving may contain minute amounts of flammable hydrocarbons that are considered safe to breathe. Over time...

    Bonaire underwater maps?

    I'm heading to Bonaire and I've read all the must go to sites and stuff like that but what I haven't seen is any in-depth information on diving the sites. What I mean by that is how far out do I need to swim for each site? Do I go straight out or to the left or right? How far in either...

    Looking for a good video editing laptop

    Hey all, adobe premiere pro runs not as well as I'd like it to on my current laptop. It is a personal laptop so it does have a lot of other stuff going on there. I want to purchase a laptop solely for video editing. While specific laptop suggestions are welcome, I am more looking to understand...

    Video: 4k Cozumel w/Sony RX100VA and natural light

    Just stepped up from a Gopro. I did auto underwater white balance and did some color grading in adobe premiere pro on some of the clips. Eventually I will get lights but I lucked out with sunny days. My ending is abrupt, keep forgetting to make a proper ending.

    Advice on shooting Sony RX100 VA first time underwater

    I am going on a dive trip to Cozumel later this month and taking my Sony RX100 VA out for a spin for the first time. Wondering a few things: If shooting in XAVC S HD (120p/100M), will the camera overheat from constant video? Does the Auto underwater white balance work well? Any settings you...

    What am I missing? LX10 vs. GoPro 6

    Yes I am a hardcore amateur but hear me out - If I only shoot video, am I better off with the Panasonic LX10 than a GoPro 6? The way I see it, the GoPro already does wide angle and I can add on macro. The LX10 needs a wide angle to be added. The GoPro does 4k at 60fps while the LX10 only does...
