Got my flights booked for October trip. Flying business SFO to Manila and economy from Manila to Bohol. I have a lot of camera gear and usually just use my wife's and my carry on to get most of it to our destination. Philippine Airlines has a very small amount of weight for carry on baggage. 7...

Recently spent 25 days in French Polynesia. It was a good trip, not a great trip. Not great mostly due to Covid, island closures and French tourists not taking Covid seriously. I think the latter is due to several factors including the lack of need to test negative to return to France if they...

Has anyone had any experience with Kaiser and international dive incidents. I was able to confirm that they will cover emergency visits and air/ground ambulance transfers. Still working on hyperbaric coverage. Thank you

Bought a 180 Ikelite viewfinder from Backscatter. I guess these are just rebranded Inon's as it says Inon on it, not Ikelte. Regardless, the cover for the viewfinder will not stay on and falls off just by touching it. Does anyone else have one and have a similar issue? I contacted Backscatter...

Anyone thats been on Mike Ball know what size SD card their computer takes? Need to transfer images from camera to tablet. Tablet has micro sd, but have an adapter for SDXC/SDHC to micro if it will fit. Prefer not to have to travel with my laptop.
