60' and shallower - such as goofing around at the junkyard - hp80 something like the i-beams (80-100ish) or am video'ing something, or diving with an unknown or new to me buddy then HP100, which i guess is really my go to. Deeper than 100, or 80-100 for any length of time with the camera or for long...

DUI is in San Diego

When I'm not trying to improve my #360video or wanking around with creative lighting or being a masochist trying to shoot macro, periodically I get to do some cool pool shoots for local film productions... Here is a screen grab from BtS... Yes, we even had an art department that made us some shrubbe...

Diving unlimited international (aka DUI) repairs other manufacturers suits now as well... they've dramatically expanded the repair section of factory compared to first time I was down there...

Oooo... I shudder just thinking of the rats nest that baby shampoo will cause. Part of the reason for the conditioner is that it helps with the tangles, drying out of hair and ripping and tearing out... Shampoo in it's place, on salt water abused hair may help with donning but will for sure not help...

My hair has varied from long to short to long to short to long over the years numerous times. The only real answer I've found for when it is long that is truly comfortable, doesn't rip out hair and doesn't destroy it or turn it into a massive rats nest of tangles is an attached dryhood. In lieu of d...

Thanks!! Adding a third camera for cleaner stitching, will test it in the pool over the weekend on a film shoot for Behind the scenes in 360 for fun

Need to continue to work on lighting placement, and get a few of those wide angle diffusion domes from Light and Motion, but its coming along...

Junkyard for past few days, 15-20 at depth

HAHA! You caught me! that was no accident <grin> Leverage the WW propaganda for Puget Sound ;) Absolutely perfect out of the box, and considering the complexity in the custom overlay design with the stripes and things I was willing to give it a small pass here and there but absolutely center of the ...

https://youtu.be/9HQZHMFnAtg Watch in Youtube for full 360 effect :) A bit of blackout fixed the reflection of the Samsung Gear360 on the inside of my home-brew housing. Also working on different lighting techniques to highlight subject matter... And oh yeah... Check out my super awesome made to mea...

Northwest divers, beach combers and critter watchers... A moment of quiet reflection is warranted.

Dr. Eugene Kozloff passed on Saturday at age 95.

The brain trust continues to diminish.

have you checked with Rabbit Tools about doing a battery refurbish? i vaguely remember that being an option several years back.

Maybe someone wrapped a scooter prop up and had to cut it free and just hasn't had a chance to fix it yet? (giving the community benefit of the doubt) I take it it was all gone, too far to find with gap reel and compass heading? (so next team going out knows what they might need to fix) It would be ...

I love diving with them... They can be quite the pranksters, last time was down here in mid sound, was trying to get the perfect shot of an anemone so was very focused. Apparently the sea lion was there, watching, watching, watching, waiting, watching, waiting, watching, till I looked up over the ca...

I haven't checked in the past few hours but as of this morning the poo warning is all the way down to Alki beach park. Obviously several miles north of Redondo but as we all know, 'it's all connected'...

well that is just crappy news

Haha, I've heard the "there are two types of wetsuit wearers" adage. Sorry if this is TMI, but I can easily hold a 1.5 hr dive in the sound, and have done 3hr+ dives in the sound with no pee-valve, so I promise I will be good on the suit :) I don't think he was worried about your pee.... ;)

PM'd re: kayaks...

I pushed back against getting an external monitor for years after switching from L&M housing that had one integrated. It took me one dive to get totally addicted to it again . Now I'm just sorting out the cables to make what I have compatible with all my systems.

Stephen, Yes and no... I'm used to shooting with a tiny viewfinder with regards to framing and with the peaking i can for see when things are generally in focus. Now I'm using an Atomos Shogun in Nauticam housing as external monitor and off board recorder (for prores footage) which makes finding foc...
