Hi there!

Hello everybody,

My name is Roberto, I am from the Netherlands and I'm 43 years old, started diving at 34 years old, had a couple of years forced hiatus during Covid, but closing in on 200 dives.

Dived in Egypt three times, Thailand and Indonesia so far, Raja Ampat is scheduled for upcoming february.

The gear I use is a Sony A7SIII in a Nauticam housing, with the 28-60mm combined with the WWL-1B for wide-angle, and the CMC2 for macro.

Hope to learn a lot from the forum and all of it's users!

Kind regards,

Roberto

Cozumel Officials Clarify Customs Treatment of Dive Computers and Underwater Camera Housings
Cozumel Officials Clarify Customs Treatment of Dive Computers and Underwater Camera Housings

RichN · September 21Sep 21

Underwater camera housings traveling with their corresponding cameras are to be treated as photographic accessories, while dive computers are to be classified as sporting equipment, according to Cozumel tourism officials following meetings with Mexican Customs. Broader questions about strobes, ports, wet lenses and whether the interpretation applies throughout Mexico remain unresolved. September 21, 2026 — WaterPixels There may finally be some movement in the long-running dispute over how Mexi

UWT Trigger for Nauticam/OM System OM-1
UWT Trigger for Nauticam/OM System OM-1

TimG · August 8Aug 8

Having recently written about installing the o-Turtle trigger into a Nauticam housing, I’ve now had a go with a UWT internal trigger for the Nauticam NA-OM1 housing. UWT describes it as the 11072-22-HSS TTL-Converter for NAUTICAM for OLYMPUS/ OM SYSTEM. The UWT trigger arrives in a bubble-wrap envelope in a small cardboard box. No frills functional. It consists of a small electronics board with two LEDs and a cable leading to a hot shoe connector. The manual explains that strobes are selected

Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
TimG · October 31, 2025Oct 31

On a recent dive trip I met someone who is writing a dissertation on people who are 50+ and diving. If you are interested in contributing, the following is a link to a simple questionnaire which takes about 5 minutes to complete. I've become paranoid about online scams, phishing etc. But this looks fine and I know the author - and the information gathered is pretty innocuous. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=e3VPRDDLUkaTvMqNbR74E5Cna1DJ6d1KvM2oRz5_gAdUM0Y3UEpYTkZERDJON

RichN · September 29Sep 29

I have spent a lot of years looking through a viewfinder, both above and below the surface. Photography has always been about capturing something that would otherwise pass — a person, a place, a fraction of a second that would be gone if we did not make the effort to preserve it. Sometimes the result is artistic, sometimes documentary, sometimes neither, and sometimes a little of both. But some of the moments that have stayed with me the most are the ones when I’ve stopped thinking about the ph
