    MacDive and Oceanic VT3 help

    I did get in touch with t0w who was a tremendous help, he truly went above and beyond (and got back to me incredibly quickly). It seems that I am just getting a really dodgy connection with the cable. I let everything settle overnight, tried it again this morning, and it worked flawlessly...

    MacDive and Oceanic VT3 help

    The cable and computer were both purchased new. The cable is super-finicky, but I have been able to get the VT3 into PC mode and get the PC 120 countdown. When I try to import the data, I get the start up screen on the VT3 and the same error, "error contacting dive computer". The start up...

    MacDive and Oceanic VT3 help

    I just picked up a cable for my VT3 in the hopes of downloading my dive data to my Mac and have not had any luck yet. I have the latest version of MacDive (1.5.2) and have downloaded the FDTI driver as per the instructions on the MacDive website. I have also selected a serial port in the...

    Replacement DC800 (internal camera)

    Joe, thank you so much for the quick response. Sadly, my local LDS closed in the recent months and I have yet to find another. Is there an MSRP you would be able to provide by any chance? Thank you again for your help.

    Replacement DC800 (internal camera)

    I have the DC800 and could not be happier with it. My old land-only digital camera is past its prime and I was debating buying a new one or just using the DC800. My only concern with using the DC800 would losing or damaging the internal camera somehow. I currently take exceptional care of it...

    Case/bag for Sealife DC800 and Strobe

    I was looking for a camera bag for a Sealife DC800 and the Digital Pro Flash and was wondering if anyone had any input or suggestions. Here are a couple of things I was considering: Akona Camera Plus bag: AKB 957 Camera Plus Bag, Akona Pelican 1527 convertible travel bag: PELICAN 1527...

    Oxycheq Raider 3W vs Salvo Rat LED 3W (Backups)

    I can certainly appreciate that. Another consideration is that they just made something called a "light sock" that allows hands free use (it's essentially a piece of neoprene and a bungee that allow you to wrist mount the light). I ordered one and should get it next week, I'll throw up a post...

    Oxycheq Raider 3W vs Salvo Rat LED 3W (Backups)

    For me, it's the rechargeables. It's also nice for traveling since I don't have to lug around a bunch of the C-cells. In terms of power output and burn time, I couldn't say. It just boils down to convenience for me. Using AA also allows for a really small torch (I couldn't believe how small this...

    Oxycheq Raider 3W vs Salvo Rat LED 3W (Backups)

    I second the Oxycheq 3W. I've got a backplate and wing set up with a hog harness and just leave it clipped onto one of the chest D-rings and have a loop of bungie cord holding the other end against the strap of the harness. The torch is surprisingly small. I hardly know it's there and the torch...

    Removing flash deflector from DC800

    So this is probably a silly question, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Is there any technique for removing the flash deflector from the from around the lens, or do you just pull it off in the same manner you push it on? Like I said, probably a silly question, but I don't want to damage...

    quick, probably silly, question

    Thanks again Fin Doctor. I've got to say I'm loving all the recent info that's been posted in this forum, great stuff! I'm definitely looking forward to more, keep up the great work!

    quick, probably silly, question

    I had a bit of a random question about the original force fins. I was checking out the Force Fin site and noticed that the originals have a different product code depending on whether you look in the "fishing fins" or "scuba fins" category. Silly question, I know, but I was just curious as to...

    Jonathan Bird's Blue World on Public TV

    Jonathan, really fantastic work. It's a shame it took so long, but congratulations on syndication. I actually saw the blue shark episode on YouTube last year before heading out on with Captain Donilon and really enjoyed the segment. It certainly helped me with the comfort level outside the cage...

    DC800 and strobe - travel case recommendation

    Thanks so much for the help Denise and Mrs Fic, I think that a trip to the craft store may be in order :) I think an insert and the SL946 case might be just what I need. Thanks again

    DC800 and strobe - travel case recommendation

    I just picked up the DC800 (VERY excited, it's a big improvement from my last camera which was sadly lost on a dive) and a single strobe. I'm going on a trip in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding a case for travel. I also had a question about the...

    Question re: packing for travel

    Great, thanks so much for the advice. I can't believe how much less room the DSS rig takes in a bag, is there anything it can't do? Yet another reason I'm really glad for the purchase (had a fantastic time on my first dives with it this weekend). Thanks again

    Question re: packing for travel

    I had a quick question about packing up the bp/w for a flight. Any recommendations on the best way to pack the wing (Torus 26)? It looks like I'll be able to carry on all my gear (which wasn't possible with my previous BC). I was going to wrap my 3mm around it and fold it, would rolling it be a...

    Got my rig... newb question!

    StreetDoctor, I use a 7mm w/ a hooded vest underneath and 20 lb total with the rig (I usually used 22 lbs with my old BC. I also picked on the bolt on weights, so I only had 6lbs on the belt which worked out really well. That may be worth looking into if you're feeling bottom heavy with the...
