I suppose I could/should do a weight check but we mostly do shore diving and it is quite a hike back up to the cars. If I have to add or ditch weight I don't want to leave them on the beach because that is the last I will see of them. Maybe I should just head out a bit early and do a check...

I just purchased a new 2/3 wetsuit. My old is the same. Same make, NeoSport, different model, XSPAN. I glued pockets on each thigh. I am not worried too much about the extra neoprene backing on the pockets, but my old suit was well...old. I lost some of the material in the shoulders and I...

I have decided that I have reached my talent potential with the automatic underwater set-up with strobe. I have decided to start taking some pictures in the manual underwater mode with strobe. I noticed that I was only able to switch between 2 different F-stops. After I chose my F-stop, I had...

I have a DC1200 with the Pro Digital flash. I was looking at adding another strobe but did not want to limit my budget to a SeaLife product. If I acquire a non-SeaLife strobe has anyone have any experience with setting up a dc1200 with a sea life pro digital and additional non-sea life strobe...

+1 Started using this trick. Works awesome. My take on it is that I buy the DampRid sachets which come self contained in a little packet. White powder does not go everywhere. I throw the small satchet in the bottom of a mason jar and throw the mucnher caplets in. Come dive time a week...

I found the white balance features on the camera sufficient for shooting video. It remembers your setting when switching from stills to video. As an example, you can have the white balance set up for auto while taking stills with the strobe and then switch over to the video mode and set the...

Contacted SeaLife customer support via email regarding the issue. They indicated it must have been a faulty flex-link arm. They are sending a replacement out. Thanks SeaLife!

SeaLife, Need a little help here. I have a DC1200 with the Digital Pro Strobe and mount. After a few dives (less than 10) I noticed the head of the strobe spun very easily and was causing me difficulty aiming the flash underwater. It would not stay in the position I wanted. As I surfaced, I...

After reading some of the reviews, I purchased an extra battery for my new 1200. I have not used it yet, but in reading the manual, it seems to make reference to the battery having a "memory." Is this accurate? On first use, the manual recommends fully charging and then discharging (I just...

Halemano nailed it. Don, looks like you pulled the news feed from a local channel. Here in hawaii, they do no readily make the distinction between scuba and breath-hold/free diving. There is a big difference and everyone knows it, but for whatever reason they do not like to specify. Maybe...

A report on the local radio station indicated it was "shredded." I don't know where they got their information and I don't want to speculate. Through a 3rd party DLNR seems to confirm some of what the news is reporting in regards to the equipment recovered. If the current and swells were up...

Update here on Oahu. Search has resumed. Search resumes for missing diver - Hawaii News - Staradvertiser.com

10pm news stated the search is being called off but will resume if anyone visually identifies something in the water or on shore.

Well, honestly, you shove money into a machine. If you refuse to pay, I am betting you are out of there after looking at the view before they can get someone up there to ticket you or tow you...Unless you are using the parking to launch a hike.

I know this has been dead for a year, but I thought I would throw some updated prices for Hydros and VIPs on Oahu. Island Hydrostatics - AL80 Hydro and VIP for $25 + tax each. Oahu Fire Protection - AL80 Hydro and VIP for @24.95+ tax each. LDS, somewhere around $40 each.

I was in the same situation. I went with Jack's Diving Locker. The first dive company I called wanted me to have a logged night dive before they would book me. Didn't understand that one since it is about as mellow as a dive as you can do. Glad I ended up with Jack's. Did the dusk and...

I'm a +1 on this

I can tell who filled my tanks at the shop when I turn them on at the dive site. Same thing in the fire department with the bottles. Slow fill then top off. Nothing like getting cheated out of a few minutes of excitement in the fire or under the water.

+1. Good rule of thumb is to look at the shore site and see if other divers are diving it. Ask other divers and tell them you are visiting. They will tell you conditions. Look at Surf News Network and it will give you an idea as to the wave heights and conditions. Local divers stopped a...
