Several weeks ago my Canon S90 Ikelite housing and Fantasea Remora strobe light came back from the manufacturers and I have been testing them since then. From my understanding the strobe light is supposed to have the same spectrum as daylight. However I noticed that it produces a yellow cast on the ...

:popcorn: Watch for me Monday evening on the PBS station KBTC (available in most of Puget Sound region). They did a half-hour episode about my underwater video work. It's called " The World Below " and I'm told it will air at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov 1 . But double check your local listing M...

It's absolutely amazing what my little ol' internet posts have forced to the surface! Numerous photographers around the world have been stunned to see their images appearing on his Flickr page and identified as his work. So far 24 photos have been deleted from his Flickr site, and I suspect even mo...

After all it was a good think that nobody showed up! I enjoyed the shallow dives but I understand that others may find them boring. Well at least I have learned something: I was looking at the wrong current chart!

Thank you very much Dusty2. Now I understand better what was wrong! I guess what 'fooled' me is the fact that even in the chart that we use the speed of the current was lower than 1 kt, but then, as you mentioned, one has to take into account the particular topography of the site and how that change...

Here is Rockweed Isopod and the seaweed after which it is named ( from an older post ). http://jankocian.smugmug.com/Other/New-Arrivals/6109-seaweed-S/1070412458_SDW9i-XL.jpg Now I know was I was eating when a friend of mine told me that rock weed is good and offered me some. You can dry it to make...

Sorry we missed you. Your timing must have been off just the right amount. Next time you plan to dive Hudson drop me a line and I'll give you the proper times. It is not a site to do impromptu. It can get really nasty if you don't get your timing right. We had a lady columnist from one of the dive ...

] . ) I did, however, find a couple of nudibranchs which are new to my camera. This white one had a counterpart which had orange-tipped gills and antennae, are they the same species? 2010_1031cameranew0089 (Medium).JPG And this orange one, I took 26 pictures of it, trying very hard to get a decent ...

I did no see Dusty2 at Port Townsend. My buddy and I got there on Friday evening,the day with best weather and water conditions. On Saturday the south-east wind began to blow making the entry near Hudson Point a bit problematic. My buddy did not want to go in, I would have mind giving it a try. Afte...

It sounds like you have a great time!

Dash! It looks like you have a new camera now!

Fort Worden Campground has 3 camp sites left. Reservation is $ 8 and the site $25 for one night. I could not make reservations for the ferry so I won't reserve a campsite at Fort Worden. We will take our chances. There is no guarantee that we would get on the ferry, but it is seems unlikely, however...

Jan, I always wondered what that home made scuba gear looked like since you have told me about . What fascinating stories and collages! Bravo!

ciao

At the Keystone Jetty, I am having more luck finding juvenile PS King crabs then the Scaly crabs, they hide from me inside the Plumose anemone forest. This youngster was for some reason out in open, away from them. It seems to me that it is easier to spot them at night. During the latest night dive...

Sorry no! Nobody had a camera...just a little sketch by failing memory.

diesel dude is diving there this saturday Morn... i think with dusty.. Ah! If Dusty is there it means that's a good time to dive that site!:) Anybody interested in camping at Fort Worden Friday and Saturday night? Port Townsend is a fun town to be for Halloween, a lot of people walk in the main str...

Do you think this coming Halloween weekend is a good one to dive at Port Townsend?

Skyline: Wednesday/ 37oct2010/ 2 pm/ 15-20ft visibility open up to 20-25 after 75 fsw Random note, found a line and followed it to 112ft. No luck on finding the end though How were the conditions beside the visibility? Smooth as glass. But at 1130 there was 6 inch waves I mean the current! Did you ...

Turtle fins only come in 2 sizes. Big & bigger. I like mine even though I have small feet. I dont know about cave diving but they are real nice for Frog kicking. I'm not much of a flutter kicker. I'm looking at your map & wondering if you hit the shallow wall only or both the shallow & ...

They taste good but all those seeds drive me crazy because they get stuck between my teeth :angry: (I wish I had worn those braces longer when I was a kid!).

Thank you NWBrewer and Lurch for the great dive! Thanks NWBrewer for letting me use your pair of jet/turtle? (I am still getting confused between the two) fins. I felt like a frog whose feet have suddenly grown to a humongous size! I don't know man! When one gets used to the small light Force Fins w...

I remember my 100th dive as well; it's a great milestone. And you're getting good with that camera. Nicely done! The shrimp is a spot prawn, and yes, he looks delicious (I haven't had breakfast yet). The sculpin looks like a Great Sculpin to me; I can't get a good enough look at the nudibranch to t...

Here is my low res video from my camera ... 640x 480 Res.. YUK .. it figures when i leave my HD set up at home this happens on a dive :violent1: :banghead: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ_TgLR4euQ[/youtube] Great encounter! It looks like that you were in shallow water considering all tha...

At last I got the Ikelite housing and Fantasea Strobe light (which it has been discontinued :eek: )back! The Ikelite guys fixed the sticky button and Fantasea sent me a brand new strobe and focus light :joshsmith: I tested them during my last dive at Mukilteo and the results are much better. I hope ...
