Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

Convince someone here to let you borrow a tank sunday morning

-or-

Rent an extra tank at Force-E before the Saturday evening dive and return it after the Sunday morning dive

I could really use a 2nd Inon adapter for some super macro and yours just so happens to be the same thread size as mine.

Most screw on wet diopters are 67MM. You can get a 1/2/4/10 Polaroid set on Amazon for $40. I dropped my 10 and it chipped up the edges, so I had to get another one. i also have a SAGA +15 for the really little stuff.

I want to get a teleconverter to increase my magnification even more

The challenge with a teleconverter is you lose stops.

I am perfectly willing to trade a couple stops for 2x magnification!

You totally misunderstand. I'm looking for excuses for avoiding getting up that dern early. Besides, I'm spoilt with my steel 100.

missed the nudi

Problem is, you gotta have the eyes (which you do) for *finding* stuff that small. Took a pic of some pretty little tunicates, yesterday, only to find a nudi in the shot once on the puter screen.

Actually the biggest problem is 2 stops is A LOT of loss of depth of field.. the Painted Elyse in my shot is already smaller than a grain of rice..

I am looking for excuses to get up that early and sneak another dive in. (we have steel 100's - 300 Bar DIN though)

Did they tell you what brand of lock boxes and a price? I'll be in FL later this summer and hope to get some (solo) dives in at the bridge as it's all my budget will allow this year.

Unfortunately, I did not inquire as to the details. Sorry. You can reach them at their main facility at (772) 600 - 8288.

I need a buddy on July 20..
