    Scuba diver dies after being found floating at Kurnell, NSW, Australia

    I appreciate the time frame .... but in other thread it said to use this thread .. and it would be some months before reason known. Thanks for that, was interested having met Marcia in Thailand, sad loss. I won't go into merits of drysuit diving here, suffice it to say I sold mine 2 yrs ago.

    S120 or G16, ikelite or Canon housing....??

    I Have had multiple cameras and never once any fogging up, so while it can happen, doesn't mean it will. Maybe it's because I prep camera in my room has AC therefore air in housing is dry ... but no proof this is reason, but never once had fogging. I also do not use a dome only wet lenses, so...

    S120 or G16, ikelite or Canon housing....??

    As I said .. I can live with a False positive ... Metal also conducts faster ... so would exacerbate any difference in temp between camera & water. However this is all pretty academic to me ... I have my housing, and have dived with Polycarbonate housing for more than 10 years .. never had...

    S120 or G16, ikelite or Canon housing....??

    Didn't imply it was perfect .... but it is free .... and I would rather a False positive than no alarm ... and it you don't like it turn it off. :-) Personally I would not like a vacuum based device ... nature abhors a vacuum ....at all times housing is trying to suck something in. A...

    S120 or G16, ikelite or Canon housing....??

    That was one of selling points of Fantasea housing for me - comes as standard

    canon g16

    I agree with all of the above ... the less holes through your housing the safer it will be ... fact. When I used a strobe triggered by fibre, I never found me waiting for camera flash to recycle ... it was set on minimum power and was always much faster than the strobe. With improvement in...

    Lightoom for UW Photographers

    Not new to diving or photography, but new to Lightroom ... and I'll freely admit I'm in the Happy Snapper class .. I'm a recreational diver, I dive for fun, if I see something I like, I take a picture or video ... I don't dive just to take pictures. However I do want to get the best out of the...

    canon g16

    You will have to use the the on-camera flash, your strobe would fire off this in slave mode ... or better still is use one of the 2 fibre optic connection points, would give 100% reliable trigger. The flash should be set to manual and minimum to conserve battery ... and if you use the fibre...

    canon g16

    I always soak housing in warn water after every use, operating all buttons multiple times to get rid of any salt. Remove & clean O ring, minimal grease & refit.

    canon g16

    OK .. never had a button seal go .. they did go 'stiffer' on Ikelite, but no leaks, no failures. Agree on warranty ... I can accept standard 2 yr warranty on Fantasea, in any event if O rings fails, you can replace O rings ... just never had it happen, maybe my post dive maintenance is better...
