I just want to say thank you to Jesper and Charly at DYK in Scandinavia for producing such a well designed magazine and for making my pictures of Truk (published in the January edition) look like they were taken by a proper photographer!

I chose this one only because I thought it would make a great DPS but it never got used...(They prefered the turtle framed upin the centre but without any jacks.)

I've never had a problem being allowed to dive alone. After the first dive as part of a buddy pair, nobody wants to dive with me!

I got this problem for the first time on my last trip and it coincided with the battery needing recharging shortly after. Could it be connected to a battery power voltage drop? This was the first ime I attempted to use the same battery for a whole six day dive trip.

It's OK for you young suckers. I need a pump whether it be manual or electric!
#320200 How do you assess the power output of a video light?

Lumens is the measurement of light emitted whereas LUX is the number of lumens per square metre arriving at the subject. For a given lamp to subject distance, LUX is a more relible measurement for comparison because it takes into account the efficiency of the reflector but this has to be compared against the diameter of the beam at that distance too.

If you can't afford to make a mistake and flood your camera, maybe you need Hugycheck or something similar. Nauticam's UK agent has said that they are working on it.

I wish that the people that designed America's airports went to Changi Airport and used it as an example, especially for us transit passengers.
#318582 D800, S&S housing, and some questions...

I use a Sea & Sea optical dome port from time to time with the 15mm/D800/D700 but on my Hugyfot housings via an adapter ring. It is very sharp but it does vignette a little (depending on how close the lens is focussed). This is not always a problem. I can easily clone in the corners if I have shot in the interior of wrecks or if the surroundings or in open blue water. As I shoot for magazine A-format my pictures are often cropped too. However, I can understand people feeling cheated if they lose a bit of picture. I also have a larger acrylic dome port that does not vignette.

I've experienced difficulty transfering direct from the camera but not if I take the card out and transfer with a separate card reader.

The fact of the matter is that it doesn't matter what you shoot on. It's the final result that counts.
