Long time no post

Hi all, I haven't been around this board for a while cos' I've been busy diving. Anyway, I just completed my IANTD Technical/Normoxic Trimix Diver course and I have to say that I liked it a lot.

One thing I can't understand is that why diving is called an extreme sport? #-o To me there is nothing extreme to it, it's more like a lazy sport, where you don't want to do anything extreme. Just stay underwater and take it easy, enjoy the scenery, the beautiful fish, that old mining tunnel that go...

The problem is, the deeper you go the worse this method becomes, and the deeper you go, the more w/b calibration you need! Yeah, this is very true, but usually all the stuff that you want to photograph don't live that deep. But anyway I'm not a uw-photo-maniac, just a "regular" maniac. :b...

Dave, I use this trick to set the white balance without any slates: 1. Point the camera towards the surface, srtaight up 2. Set the wb 3. Take the pic Ok, it's not 100% accurate and the weather needs to be bright but still I find it quite useful and fast trick. I set the wb everytime, even if there ...

Hmm... nice bunch of videos indeed. Now, could you make them also available via ftp? That way it would be much easier to grab em all once than one by one. Another, easier way would be just to have the index in the vClips/ -directory. ;)

Cool travels Janne, I looked into those weezles locally. Do you have the Extreme or the Extreme plus? I've got the extreme one, since I'm diving with a neoprene drysuit. Dunno if I'm gonna get a cordura shell suit next and if I do I'll probably upgrade to the plus, since the neoprene does give you ...
