Campbell River Memorial Day Invasion

Its been a little quiet on here since Yelloweye decided to compete with the other website and I haven't been diving much (or processing photos) so here is a long long long overdue trip report from Campbell River this past Memorial Day weekend. We headed up on the Thursday before the holiday to take ...

Big Island May 2022

During my first trip to Hawaii in 2018 Pele decided to pay a visit to the Puna District while we were in Hilo, and when I visited Kilauea the ground shook hard enough to close the Jaggar Museum permanently right after I walked out of the gift shop... (very true story!). After a couple months of acti...

Re: Belize Resort Recommendations Please

Belize is a great spot! The best diving is in the atolls away from the mainland. Unfortunately shore diving is not a thing that (as far as I am aware) any resorts offer. I've been on Glovers Atoll where Off the Wall Dive is located. Its remote and the walls are spectacular. There is snorkeling insid...

Better late than never? Here are a few of my snaps that I finally got around to dealing with. I had some equipment issues the whole trip..... and ended up taking most of my photos with my trusty single video light. The diving was still great, with the underwater highlight being 85 minutes of zero cu...

Awesome photos Jess!!! Thanks for "hijacking" the thread. Tell Erik he's welcome to do the same. Did the Enterprise fire at the Skeleton Shrimp to break up the party or was it just observing?

Hey everybody. Looking for recommendations for dive operators in the Miami/Key Largo area for this December. Staying in Miami, so more north end is better, but will likely make a trip or two down to Kay Largo to check out things down there. In Key Largo my favorite operation is Quiescense Diving, b...

Re: August at Skyline

Looking good! The colors really pop. Are you using a custom white balance or auto? I shoot in RAW with auto white balance and then correct in Lightroom. The strobe definitely helps with lighting and colors. I used to bump the saturation up a little when shooting fixed lights but now i actually have...

Erik, that 2nd shot is $$$$. Maybe next time you’ll get more keepers if you don’t try to shoot wide angle in a steep island tube worm poop storm :neener:

Re: Canada to open border to fully vaccinated U.S. citizens on Aug. 9!!!

I had one of the easiest entries ever back into the states with my Nexus card. 3 questions and 45 seconds total. Heading up was a bit longer since NEXUS was closed. They were being very thorough and chatty, taking almost 5 minutes with every car going through. I didn't have a print off of my negativ...

August at Skyline

After a few years of shooting with a video light, I FINALLY got a strobe (and ikelite ttl convertor) for my little TG6. I took it out to Skyline a couple weeks ago to test it out. I definitely need some work on strobe placement but the initial results are encouraging. https://live.staticflickr.com/6...

If this is true I hope there was a happy ending. Today was not a day to be attempting a dive in there. I did see on the socials that a friend had a bit better SAC rate than anticipated at the Mulkiteo T Dock and since he dove his tank the authorities were called about the missing diver before he sur...

Hopefully everyone has been having great dives so far this year. I haven't been as wet as I normally am due to some life changes, a Mt Baker seasons pass and a new mountain bike, but I've been trying to make it count when I get to the beach. Besides the usual diving I do around Whidbey and Fidalgo I...
