    New 1GX whats it like underwater

    David, i agree, from the articles i've read the G1x af isn't too much slower then the G12. But, the macro focus is an issue. Like yourself, i use an add-on 67mm macro lense on my G11 ikelite housing. the specs for the G1x says in aperature priority mode the smallest f-stop is f16. That's...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    BHB one last time Well, my time has come to head back to Seattle area. Did my final (3rd) dive at the bridge this am. Unfortunately, it didn't go exactly as planned, my compass gave me grief and decide to stick. Did see some cool critters though! You trolls enjoy this jewel of a site...muck...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Got to the bridge this am and the water looked a lot clearer. Saw some cool stuff...saw a good size ray but he took off before i could get close enough for a pic. Man, the moon jellies grow big down here! In Seattle area they are about 6" max and all white....

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Thanks...Im hoping to find some colorful critters out here in the warm water too. i'll admit...i thought the water would be more 'blue' out here...plenty of green water in Puget Sound and the intercoastal waterway looks very similar.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    I'm in Florida now and stopped by Force E earlier. Then I went and looked at the water around 1:00pm. Yeah, vis was maybe 5-8 ft. We'll see if the night dive is still on but I'm doubting it. I dive in this type of vis quite often up in the NW so I don't know what's holding people back...;) If...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Thanks for the info. So, I looked into the tides a bit and it seems the tidal swing is consistantly about 3-4 ft. Wow! Up here in the PNW we see swings that reach 14-16 ft! Is there really much of a current when you dive this site off-slack?

    troubles with G11/dual DS-51 setup

    Thanks for the reply Jean. I checked the pins on the hotshoe and they are all fine. The hotshoe is seated all the way. I have a dual sync cord. Would be nice to try another cord but.....how? I have only one. I went out again today. First 20 minutes i shot manual strobe settings and G11...

    troubles with G11/dual DS-51 setup

    Have had my system for a few months now. Dive starts out ok with the ttl working fine (G11 in Av mode). After about 6-7 shots the strobe stop firing, red neon indicator on strobes on. It appears the G11 doesn't recognize them. Turned everything off and back on but same problem. Finally was able...

    Coron travel advice

    Sangat has nice beach cottages and a nice sandy beach. There is great snorkelling from the beach and you are near many of the wrecks for diving. I really enjoyed my stay there.

    Sealife Strobe Troubles

    I've had some intermittant problems with the Sealife strobes. I found problems with the battery connections. I had to take a dremel to the battery compartment lid and take down some of the plastic for a better connection on the positive battery end.
