    Ultimate Dive Truck

    We have one now! We are certainly getting a lot of attention. No more trouble finding parking than usual. Loving the warm shower after dives! We rented it because my husband is newly recovered from surgery and we wanted to make it as easy on him (and us) as possible. Definitely helps.

    Sea & Sea YS-03 TTL?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. We have been working through them, and it seems that the strobe is adjusting MOST of the time. At 1/250, inside with normal room lighting, with the subject closer to filling the frame, exposures are about the same for f stops below 5.0 and above 7.1; however...

    Sea & Sea YS-03 TTL?

    Thanks Chris and MinistryofGirafes. The strobe was purchased new in the Summer of 2018. We don’t get to dive often, and I have been thinking I just haven’t learned to use it properly. I had hoped by now to add another light, but I don’t want to purchase another Sea & Sea if I can’t get this one...

    Sea & Sea YS-03 TTL?

    I have the Sony RX100V in the Nauticam housing with a Sea & Sea YS-03 strobe. It does not seem like the strobe is being adjusted with TTL metering. I have tested it by taking two pictures of the same subject in manual mode using fill-flash and keeping all settings the same except taking one...

    Lost Paralenz Camera at Columbia Dive Site - Cozumel

    No. It was handheld and tethered to his bcd, but it must have caught on something and popped off the mount.

    Lost Paralenz Camera at Columbia Dive Site - Cozumel

    He held it with his hand around the Paralenz and fingers also gripping around a bar by which a torch was attached. The whole assembly acted as a handle and was tethered to his bcd. Apparently, it caught on something as he rolled off the boat and was pulled out of his hand. We have since...

    Going Iberostar Week Before Christmas

    I remember it being absolutely maddening to try to plan our August trip. At least 3P was willing to work with me on a backup plan. I would have given Dressel a try, but their communication was especially poor and we ran out of time with the slow back/forth miscommunications. FWIW, Dressel...

    Going Iberostar Week Before Christmas

    I did ask Iberostar directly and they assured me there is no charge to the guests to use the pier. They stated this in an email response when i asked about having another dive op pick us up. I think the issue is between the dive ops and the hotels, and no one wants to charge their customers...

    Iberostar pier/dock fees

    You were right about this, BUT, the convenience outweighed going beyond the Palancar Reef system for this very short trip.

    Iberostar pier/dock fees

    Oh, I don't know. It didn't look THAT bad, at least while we were there. I would have given it a try, but the email communication before the trip was difficult with them, and they also said they needed more notice than I could give for booking once we were on the property. 3P definitely wins...

    Iberostar pier/dock fees

    Well, no, I don't think they changed anything. They just did not appear to be enforcing it. At least, they insisted to me -- and I have it in writing -- that they do not charge guests for use of the pier. And no attempt was made to stop or question the 3P Captain or any of the other boats as...

    Iberostar pier/dock fees

    I'm DawgDiver217's mom. I want to thank everyone for the info and give an update. We stayed at the Iberostar, and 3P picked us up without difficulty from the Iberostar Pier at about 8:20-8:30a.m. each morning. Lots of other operators picked up there as well. I could see how it could be...

    Lost Paralenz Camera at Columbia Dive Site - Cozumel

    Yes, thanks for the picture. It's small. Just 4 1/2 inches long.

    Lost Paralenz Camera - Colombia Deep Cozumel

    We lost a Paralenz camera on entry at Columbia Deep— in the sandy shallows at the drop point in about 40ft of water. It’s small and black and looks more like a torch/light than a camera. He can describe what’s on it very well if anyone comes across it, please let me know.
