    Going Deep! (video)

    Pretty proud of a couple of my former students, so I thought I'd share their video. It's very well done! Connie was trained in backmount and sidemount, but chose to use her Stealth on her Extended Range course. With all of the arguing that we see over the internet nowadays (I'm as guilty as...

    Advantages of sidemount for exploration

    I don't think that there was any way to do this other than sidemount. There's no way I was going to haul twins up there. We hauled up lp85s, al80's and an 80 stage. Stealth Classics is the way to go! Darryl put in a lot of work hauling tanks and camera gear up this mountain to film this...

    Cenote Zapote (Hells Bells) video

    This was my first time here, but I will definitely be returning. I've always wanted to go since I saw Hp and Bogarts' video, but have always bypassed it because it was so far out of the way compared to all the other caves around Tulum. It was a 2 hour drive from Tulum on the highway and a well...

    Caverns, Caves and Exploration - Another fantastic trip!

    As usual, we had another fantastic time. A group of nine this go around. Some stayed in the caverns, some cave, and a few of us went and did some real exploration. I cannot say enough about how Kim Davidsson and the crew at ProtecTulum accommodated us. Everyone felt challenged and left with...

    Video of Advanced Sidemount Cave diving

    These were definitely "sidemount only" dives. Absolutely recommend an "Advanced Sidemount Cave" course before venturing into this environment, for the sake of you and the cave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eJhInfPGXk

    Multinational effort - Cenote Chi-Keen in the Stealth

    Since the cave was explored by a team with members from a number of different countries, we thought we'd stay in that spirit. We took a Canadian diver, recently cave trained in Florida, put him in a sidemount rig designed by an Austrian and built in Poland, and stuck him in a cave in Mexico...

    Sidemount diving in Xulo

    This was a fantastic dive. A very delicate section, so buoyancy and trim are critical. Streamlining your gear is also very important. https://vimeo.com/88121825

    Cenote Caterpillar with the Stealth 2.0

    Sidemount Diving in Cenote Caterpillar - YouTube We spent three days of our trip exploring the lines in this cave. There's just so much to see and do. A fantastic sidemount dive with a little bit of everything. Ups and downs, restrictions, large rooms and tunnels, decorations and...

    Cave diving with the Stealth 2.0

    https://vimeo.com/78358626 Loved this Cenote! Very delicate and fragile though. You need a Cave Sidemount card to get in. But it is an absolutely georgous and challenging dive!

    Video from our Advanced Sidemount course with ProtecPlaya

    Had a wonderful and rewarding course with Patrick and Nando at Protec. I learned so much about everything and how true the comment "you don't know what you don't know" really is. I've been squeezing through some tight passages in sidemount for a number of years, but this course really...

    Housing for Sony Nex 3 or Olympus e-pl1

    I was just wondering if you are planning housings for these cameras. I've been thinking of upgrading from my Canon S90. There are housings readily available for the e-pl1, but haven't seen any on the market for the Sony NEX3. A couple for the NEX5, but not the NEX3 I'm not too worried about...

    Also Coming to Kona

    Alright, after reading many of the threads here, I'm very excited to be going to Kailua-Kona for some shore diving. I'll be there from March 3 -11. A couple of questions. What's the price of lead down there? I see places renting for ~$10/day. Since I only need 6lbs, I was wondering if it...

    Opinion: g11 or s90

    Looking for honest opinions (from people that have used them) and reasoning, rather than rants about how, since you own it, it must be the best and everything else is crap! I'm buying a new camera, housing and strobe. I've narrowed down my choices to the G11 with the Canon housing or the S90...
