Canon Vixia HF M500 with Canon Housing??

I have been playing with my GoPro for a few months now and have some decent shots. I was on the verge of getting a tray, lights, etc... However, what I have decided I really am interested in is macro video which the GoPro just doesn't do. I am looking to get into a system that will do work for macro...

Re: Is a DPV Class Worth Taking?

I actually really appreciated the responses regarding DPV classes I got. Has anyone taken a DPV class and thought afterward it was unnecessary? I will probably take a class but I am so excited about my new scooter I want to keep blathering about it. :joshsmith:

As a fellow diver who must justify dive purchases to the non-diving wife (and we have 2 young girls as well) I feel you. Here was my justification/argument.

Is a DPV Class Worth Taking?

So I just bought a Sierra via the interwebs. :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: :supz: It should be here in 3 or 4 days.

Anyone have an opinion about taking a DPV class?

Re: Garfield Bay, Lake Pend Oreille

They would just hover right in front of my mask waiting for me to turn over logs. John, I love crayfish a...

Dries faster than my buddies CF200 but I won't knock that suit. His is 10+ years old and has hundreds of dives and is holding up well. I paid 2200 for a c...

Re: lost 3lb weight at Mukilteo T-dock

There was a florescent green coated weight down at the boat on Monday. I was going to bring it up but got tired of carrying it. I left it on top of the hull, I assume its is still there. Good excuse to mount a recovery expedition.

Re: your opinion on the best shop, please!

Up here in the north end I would second Adventures Down Under in Bellingham. Ron is a great guy AND the prices there are very reasonable. I paid less for my custom DUI suit than I could find a stock size on the internet. Fills are the cheapest in town.

Re: Viz Reports Thread

Redondo 0-5 in the top 20 feet or so. 20-40 it was better but lots of freshwater haze. Opened up to a solid 15 feet or so under the hard thermocline. Hit Muk on the way home and it was similar but more stirred up by wave action in the top 15 feet.

Re: Dive north whidbey this weekend?

I can't dive this weekend but I live up in Bellingham and really the closest sites for me (except for boat dives) are all on Whidbey. Hit me up if you are diving, I usually go out on Thursday evenings.

I hand't heard about Langley, that's sucks, I really like that site the way it is.

I am up in Bellingham and am always looking for north-enders. Langley isn't a terrible drive from the north end and is a great super easy site, never gets deep than about 30 feet. I usually dive on Thursday evenings after work if you are interested let me know. Driftwood is also sweet and pretty eas...

Re: Never seen this before underwater!

Someone placed an urn at Langley right up on the breakwater at 18ft. The urn was clearly placed there by a diver because it was upright and nestled in tight. This is worse than a non diver who dumps the ashes off a beach. The diver could have swum another 20 feet and tucked that urn in any of the on...
