So how was it? Visiting parents in April and wondering if it's worth bringing our gear?

I second Keystone. I was there on Saturday and couldn't believe how many fish there were. The Lings are so huge, Sculpins on every rock, and schools of Perch and Black Rockfish hovering in the sunlight. For a moment I thought I was in the Keys. The pilings are worth a dive to and then follow...

Just make sure you secure it to your BCD with retractors or a coil lanyard. I use two coil lanyards in case one fails. I would rather have it hang down then float up and tangle around by regulator if I had to let go of it for some reason. Sealife sells an accessory weight depending on how many...

Blackwater, nothing else like it. Manta Night Dive comes close however.

Shouldn't these go in the "Show us your Sealife weekend diving pics" thread?

At Puako we had our grass mat stolen between dives. :) I think it was because we woke the dudes sleeping in their jeep for a sunrise dive.

Pics from Kauai and Niiahau from June 22-July 2, 2011. DC 1200

I have been very happy with my DC1200. Yeah, I wish it shot HD Video and RAW but for an entry level camera, it's the best bang for your buck.

Get the Elite. Having an external flash makes all the difference.

We also dove with Aaron's over Christmas and I have no complaints. We saved money with them because they gave us a multi-dive discount and they threw in the Nitrox and wetsuits for us. (We had everything else.)

My battery hasn't made it through two dives. It's worse in cold water. I don't mind too much because then I actually take some time to not take pictures.

Looking forward to it. See you in June.

Thanks for the info. I can hardly wait. What did you think of tunnels? Was it worth it for a paid shore dive?

Was the trip back as rough as they say?

Just booked some dives with Fathom 5 between June 22 to July 3. So far we are going to do: 2 Tank Boat Dive 2 Tank Dive at Tunnels 3 Tank Niihau Boat Dive 2 Tank Twilight Dive Anyone taken their trip to Niihau yet on their "new" boat?

Just two dives per day.

I don't have dual strobes so I can't comment on if that setup is better or not. I just liked the flexibility of being able to shoot video or stills. Battery life is fantastic. I did recharge the batteries every night but I don't really think I needed too. The camera battery is the one that...

I have the dual setup, Sealife DC1200 with Sealife Strobe and Video Light. I just left the video light on the whole time and was not aware that there was an option to have it turn off when the strobe fires (focus light mode as Madvelazquez mentioned). Here are some links to a few of my...

No, I bought it after, but it was no problem to hook up. I haven't actually shot a lot of video yet but I definately think it helps shoot pictures in dark water.

Here are some pictures from the San Juan Islands a few weekends okay. This was my first time out with the DC1200 in cold dark water. I am glad I had the video light because I wouldn't have been able to see what I was shooting without it.
