Scuba anyone?

Here are a few videos I took with my iPhone15 Pro Max inside the Divevolk. Those are just processed using the iPhone's on board processing:

Nice. My Divevolk arrived in UK. I am in Japan

Doing the Phipinnes again in April.....

[Karol]

It’s finally ready. Setup and customization ongoing.

[Giles]

Very nice.....

Paula and I will be in Costa Rica for 2 weeks from 31st Dec. Will be doing jungles, birds, beaches, fishing and a few days scuba....

[Karol]

Now that’s a awesome way to spend a new year!
Have a great time guys!
Don’t forget to bring back some of those costa rica tarrazu beans.

@Karol said in Scuba anyone?:

Don’t forget to bring back some of those costa rica tarrazu beans.

Great tip, thanks....

[Giles]

Damn, Sent our regs in for service.

Paula's 100% OK. Both my first stage and primary are pretty shot "may be able to salvage them, we'll let you know", they are awaiting parts and won't know until they arrive. Trouble is, we are off to the Phillipines in 3 weeks.

So I may have to bite the bullet and replace.......

And in "any other Scuba news", I have one of these to attach to the first stage when I get it back/new one
arrives.

I'm very persuaded that losing a hose, and a dangly octopus is a good thing......

@Giles ahh man I feel it. but sometimes the time comes.
How about this? - https://uk.apeksdiving.com/products/mtx-rc-single-cylinder-set-dive-regulator

Its a workhorse and the service sets are available everywhere

[Giles]

I think I'm going to go this......

[Karol]

@Giles I mainly warm waters

[Giles]

Yeah, I have nothing to do with cold water diving

[Karol]

@Giles dry suits are so nice nowadays but jokes aside I know what you mean. I prefer it on the warm side as well.
On the colder side, this bloke seems to enjoy himself, and I enjoy his videos

[Giles]

These were the bits swapped out in Paula's reg service. God knows what mine was like

[Karol]

A bit salty

[Giles]

My new rig, pretty happy with it. Philippines here we come…..

If you dont do facebook.......

I don't dive with a camera....well I have bought an iPhone housing with me, so will give it a go tomorrow. But, some of these are some of the critters we saw today. When I say saw, I did see all of these, but frankly, could only guess at what they were until one of my dive buddies showed me her photographs. Some of these little guys are no more than 3mm across.
I knew I was in for trouble when the owner of the resort asked me if I was into macro or super-macro.

[Karol]

@Giles a heaven for macro Photography

[Giles]

Just ordered very expensive magnifying glasses. Honestly, even if I had 20:20 vision, these little fuckers are minute

[Karol]

That should do it! I had the same situation when I went to Lembeh Strait. Suddenly everyone started to pull their magnifying glasses and I was like WTF!
It feels that the photographers have the most fun in such conditions, but for me the whole muck diving experience was less impressive compared to regular dive in the Red Sea.
