Re: Canon 5DMKIII Naudicam housing
Hi! I'm not too familiar with that camera or those lenses however they sound like they're mid-range lenses. Most photographers go quite a bit wider or more toward macro. If you're looking for specific advice on cameras and lenses see if you can get a hold of nirupam, he reviews and test a lot of cam...

Re: Whale update
Very cool. We just had some nice humpback and marine mammal action ourselves up on Vancouver Island, particularly at Port McNeill where everything gets funneled. We had humpbacks swim by several dive sites, unfortunately not observed underwater though. I need to get better about taking topside photo...

Amazing cephalopod encounter
I had the most bizarre and amazing encounter with a cephalopod this weekend at Salt Creek, WA! It turns out it was a 7-arm octopus, also known as a blob octopus. (The male looks like it has 7 arms because it tucks one in). These are a rarely-seen denizen of the deep, but at Salt Creek she was in jus...

Re: Dive shop recommendations to service lots of hear
Welcome back Archis! You might find that helium prices have gone up quite a bit since you were last out. Most trimix divers are using rebreathers these days. Most technical divers tend to dive with 8 diving co in Des Moines these days. I'm sure a few other shops may offer helium though, especially b...

Re: Diving Aug 12-13
Hi! Many of the California divers I have shown around have really liked sund rock. There are lots of octopus and wolf eels to be found there. Nearby yss shop opens at 9am. The site is not current sensitive so you can dive it quite heavily all day long and there are various sections to check out! Lot...

Re: South African in Seattle
Hi As for dry suits, I'd do a run by 3-5 dive shops to get a sense of the type of suits out there, pricing and what might be in inventory. Off the shelf is easiest/fastest but do make sure it's a good fit. If considering ordering custom, do ask about the delivery time as many months wait time has no...

Re: It's sincerely a calling: total N00b looking to engage
Welcome! There are many great local dive shops for training, all with different price points and specialties. In Seattle, I've seen notably good new divers come out of Annelise P's classes at underwater Sports Seattle. Join us for a Thursday dive sometime after your classes... there's a lot to learn...

Re: Mystery Worms At Redondo
Hi these have been quite common at Redondo for the last several years. They're often found on wood and there has been a lot more wood in the depths of Redondo the last couple years. The posture of the worm in your photo is unusual though!
