Hello, Has anybody used (or at least held in hand) the new Seeker mask from Fourth Element? Any idea how the field of view compares to Atomic Aquatics Frameless? Also - is there any real logic behind having a green tint glass in temperate (green/low vis) water? They say it should improve...

Hello, I was looking at ways to film with a little bit of zoom underwater, in order to magnify some smaller subjects and I found two options from Backscatter: https://www.backscatter.com/FLIP-55mm-10-Close-Up-Lens...

This is my review of the Go Travel fins - as I found very little about them here. Most topics are about the Go Sport, their larger cousin. Normally I am using Scubapro Jetfins in wetsuit and Hollis F1 in drysuit, and I like both fins. I have seen the Go Travel fins first time 2 years ago in...

Hello, After a few days of researching wikipedia/wikitravel I've got the idea to also ask here, because I have failed to find my answer. During the last 10 years or so, I made all my vacations in Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia). What I'm looking for: - a warm, tropical destination...

My recent Raja Ampat travel made me think that I probably exaggerate a little by traveling with Scubapro Jetfins :-) .. maybe I could have a lighter suitcase if I find the right fins for tropical travel. I am looking for a fin that can be used without boots (so full foot most probably, but...

Hello, I have posted a question regarding this brand in the strobes/lighting section, as I was more interested in a video light they manufacture ( Anchor Dive Lights ). But seeing complete silence, I thought asking here a more generic question. Has anybody heard about Anchor Dive Lights ...

Hello, Does anyone know Anchor Dive Lights? Their name is unfortunately common enough so it's hard to find anything relevant on Google. Based on what I can see on their website, they seem pretty nice and I might be able to get one at a good price, but I am confused that they don't appear in any...

Hello, I have posted this thread but I think it was not the right place, in that area I see mostly nice videos and less technical comments: Video lights power in low-vis So, my question is - what is the really needed/required light output for poor visibility water (Black Sea). Think about...

Hello, Last week-end I was amazed by the video footage made by one of my dive buddies. He was using a GoPro Hero 3+ - and I always thought the action cameras cannot deliver enough quality in poor conditions. But the video he made was crisp and clear, at a depth of over 40 meters, in poor...

Hello Tobin, A happy LCD30 user for about 6 years, I'm thinking now to get a wing for doubles. My usual diving is in drysuit. Currently I'm using 6-8 kg of weight (13-18 lbs), depending on what else i carry with me (like reel, hammer, and so on), with a 15L steel tank (105 cubic feet in...

Hello, This is not really related to diving, but to wreck research. I suspect that a wreck found in the Black sea is the Nicholas, which was built as Albemarle by Moore Sons in 1891, in Wilmington, Delaware. The initial owner was Old Dominion Ss Co. When I first read about the history of this...

I have also sent a message to Shearwater's support, but I thought to ask here in case somebody else noticed this. After updating my unit to V34, I have noticed that the ascent speed indicator is not working correctly anymore. The unit is used in OC/Tec mode, in Metric. Knowing they made a...

Last autumn I have lost my Deep Sea Supply wing knife, after 6 years. In cold water, with thick gloves and wearing a stage, I had probably wrongly inserted it back. It was a perfect device for cutting some rope in case of entanglement, but pretty small to be used as a tool with thick gloves. I...

Hello Shearwater, Would it be possible to either use a Perdix battery cover or to create an upgraded Petrel battery cover with 2 o-rings? I like the idea of added safety provided by the second o-ring as you built it on the Perdix and it would be nice if you would find a way to back-port it to...

Hello, Can anybody give me an advice about a diving operator to choose in Phuket for a day trip to Similan? I have a single day available for this - February 20th, as afterwards I plan to go south towards Koh Racha, Koh Lanta and whatever other chill islands I will have the mood/opportunity to...

Hi, When do you plan to port the Perdix compass improvements to the Petrel 2? Because they seem to be very attractive..

Hello, My atomic frameless has a scratch and I'd like to replace it. I don't have access to any shop selling atomic, so I have to order online. I am not worried about fit, most masks fit me well. I love the atomic frameless field of view (and I am not aware of anything better in terms of...

As this is the holiday season, I will have to wait until January to consult a service, so I will try to ask here first. My G11 exhibits a very strange behaviour, which I only fully understood during today's dive. A few days ago I have noticed that the flash button was not working anymore (not...

This is not a real near miss, because the conditions were excellent and chances for something to go really wrong were less than slim. Anyway, doing the same thing another day, in another spot, could have been a real near miss or even an accident. What made me write about this is the fact that...

Hello, I am using a Scubapro Mk17/G250V+Mk17/G250V setup for my regulators for about 6 years. Every year, during anual service, I was told that pretty significant corrosion was found inside (not something irreparable, but enough to be considered unusual by the service guy). Last year, I have...
