I made my way to Zanzibar last week. I had intended on going (back) to either the Philippines or Indonesia, but I did not have enough time. I wanted to go somewhere that only needed a direct flight and little to no commute on arrival. Zanzibar fit this. A direct five hour flight from Dubai to...

Hello everyone, New Nuvair quick stick. Faulty. See short video: I've since gotten it replaced but keen to know what could've been the issue. To be able to fix it myself (should it happen in the future). Nuvair said the sensor isn't faulty. Nuvair troubleshooting tree...

I know Sipadan and Mabul are popular. Why aren't the other locations as popular? Its a mammoth island. There should be (relatively accessible) spots other than Sipadan and Mabul. I found dive ops in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching - but didn't get this sense of comfort that they're not tourist/resort...

So two issues with a potential trip to PG Hotel wants $600 for round trip transfer from Manila airport to hotel (private car and private boat) Hotel also charging $43 per dive for a private guide $43 x 36 dives = $1,550 That's too much IMO. Popular competitor at Anilao charges $15 per dive...

Or is it just muck? I love muck and macro but some colorful reefs are nice too. Like combining Lembeh and Bangka or Anilao.

Competing brands like INON, Weefine, and subsee, Aquatica? Im OK with paying when it's worth it. I have a canon 5dmk ii and Canon 100mm L lens. I need a diopter because I'm routinely reaching or going beyond the minimum focusing distance. Is the SMC-1 worth it's price compared to others...

Hello everyone I spent about two weeks at Buceo last August. Considering coming back to Anilao. Wondering if it's worth going back to Buceo. Didn't have any issues with them while there. Wondering if it's better going somewhere else and seeing new dive sites. I realize that some sites...

Family and I may be on holiday in Singapore. Mid October. Worth getting a dive or two in?

Buceo Anilao Trip Report I spent 11 nights and 10 diving days in late August of 2022. I took a direct flight from Abu Dhabi to Manila on Etihad Air. I arranged airport pick up and drop off through them. A little pricey at $240 but convenient. Vehicle is a typical Japanese mini van...

With my back scatter mf01, I'm getting 1/60 to 1/100 with ISO 100 and exposure compensation at -2.0 Doesn't seem to get faster when I turn up strobe power. It just washes out the scene with over exposure. All macro photography. Thanks

With my Olympus PT-059 housing, the built in flash would trigger the strobe (via fiber optic cable) on 1/64. I could not get the camera to trigger the strobe till I set it to fill-in flash. I'm guessing 1/64 isn't bright enough on the the Ikelite? Any reason? Its not a huge issue, but I think...

PSA: Have just been informed by Backscatter that the Olympus tg6 underwater housing lens is not replaceable. Although it appears very replaceable from the four screws on the inside of the housing. Olympus informed backscatter that a customer can only buy a new housing because the housing lens...

I added a Backscatter mini flash to my setup. How would I go about using both? If I intend to use the video light, the flash would go off? And if I turn off flash to use video, then strobe won't fire. Program C1 for video light (flash mode off) Program C2 for strobe (flash mode on) Or?

Is this much play normal ? When de-pressurizing the second stage.

Noticed my S620 Ti has no gasket. Is this normal for the s620 variant of the s600? I noticed on two youtube s600 videos that there was a gasket.

Apeks xl4 plus I dived yesterday today I was swapping the 2nd stage hose and found water in the 1st stage cavity any idea how?
