Kevrumbo, there is a new dive guide at Sam's, Matt I believe is his name, dove with us one day, who is a tech diver, dives a BP/W. He mentioned wanting to do the deep wrecks so hopefully, by now, he's all set up with gases & such. Hope he can help you out.
Talked the bride into trying a LOB, we're doing Socorro Islands in the spring, we have this manta thing. One should never say things like this outloud but I've never been sea sick & I've been in some tough stuff. I think I'll enjoy 5 dives a day, I'll definitely sleep well. We are taking the whole boat so we don't have to make anyone we don't like "walk the plank".
Travelnsj, this camera is only good for close-ups, underwater anyway, but it does that well. Macro, with the push of a button. My artistic side.
There is a fine line with distance, too far you get this.
2 feet closer I get these. It's a crap shoot at best.
The best feature to me is the video. One button & I'm filming, which comes out OK, for me anyway. In the manta video, the big lights are pro video setups, the big lights. $10,000 vs $300 for a camera that does everything for the whole trip. I need to bring bigger cards next time. My card died about halfway though the mantas that night. Video eats them up.
Sorrows, the trip of a lifetime without "the" camera??? Rethink that one. I was on a trip to Fiji once & a guy left his big housing camera home because he heard the small airline in Fiji charged $20 for the extra weight, which they didn't. $4000 trip, $20 charge for the camera. I lived under his skin for the whole trip over that one. "Quick, get a picture. Oh yeah, never mind". It's a fireman thing.
