As a Canon shooter....I think so? I believe the latest iterations of the cameras can White Balance for deeper water without the issues they used to have. I have worked with some Sony footage recently and it looked great, but that was not deep footage.

im not sure what I can do for that. let me think on it. Unread content & activity feed as @Davide DB mentioned is one way to always see the latest of anything on the site. Articles, forum post, marketplace. Ill think on thou maybe there is something I could do. -Rich

I saw that announcement too and wondered about it. Since it has been quite some time since I have held a Sony camera, much less dived with one, have they solved their underwater water white balance issue that caused an ugly green cast to all my old videos?

No, I just have a shortcut to the Forums section on my browser that I hit, then scroll down to look at the bolded categories for new content.

Sony released a new body today the FX5 - Seems to be the next iteration of the FX3 line with open gate, triple base ISO, internal RAW, and some other goodies. Seems like it would be perfect for the ol' sony wet and dry optic options and could be a popular option. It seems like it won't fit in an FX3 housing... so lets see if anyone makes a housing for it. So many cameras in this space at the moment, it seems like it will be hard for the housing companies to decide which one to support. PetaPixelSony FX5 Has a New Sensor, Open Gate, Internal RAW, and S...The new Sony FX5 answers nearly ever criticism levied against the FX3.

The Z5-II and Z6-III housings use a newer, more compact, and less compatible design than other Nikon / Nauticam housings. They only have "native" gears for a handful of lenses at this point, and you really do need the FTZ Adapter thing to use most lenses and gears.

Trust lost is hard to regain. I have not seen anything official looking either and I would not go to Mexico right now until there is an official statement welcoming scuba divers and photo divers. An apology and a refund to those who got robbed would be nice also. That release and the info being distributed does not appear to be on an official letter or statement, I would not trust that and then get waylaid at customs on your "professional" scuba gear. What this is really an admission of is that gusts have been hassled at customs over their scuba gear. The latest below, does not sound good. Reference: Office of the Secretary Official Letter No.: SEDETUR/DST/22-0005/VII/2026 Subject: Communication to the tourism sector Chetumal, Quintana Roo, July 22, 2026 “2026: 40th Anniversary of the Creation of the Anthem of the Free and Sovereign State of Quintana Roo.” To the Diving Tourism Community of the State of Quintana Roo: I am pleased to inform you that on Monday, July 20, I held a working meeting with General Luis Antonio Balcázar Bustos, Head of Customs in Cancún, along with his team. General Balcázar Bustos showed a strong willingness to address the needs of this important segment of international tourists. As a first step, work will focus on two areas: * Informing the diving community and diving service companies about the requirements for the temporary importation of equipment under the ATA Carnet. This is an international customs document that allows the temporary import and export of certain goods in more than 78 countries without paying customs duties or taxes and without the need to file import/export declarations. * In coordination with diving industry specialists, a proposal will be developed for a list of equipment used in diving activities in order to promote updates to Mexico’s General Foreign Trade Rules. From the Quintana Roo Ministry of Tourism (SEDETUR), we will continue to follow up on these matters and any others that may arise concerning this issue. Thank you for your attention, and I send you my cordial regards. Sincerely, Lic. Bernardo Cueto Riestra Secretary of Tourism State of Quintana Roo

Hello, if you're still looking, I'm selling my 140mm N120 Dome Port. You can reach me via Whatsapp +639989706429

The really annoying thing is infos are only coming from dive shops with nothing official to support their claim and a few of them while recognizing there is a problem, have also been good lately at minimizing it offering weak advices on how to pack photo gear, stating that only "professional" equipment is taxed therefore it is better to show up with a gopro where real life experience at the custom gates has been strongly invalidating those advices with people being charged for bringing backup dive computers, TG in polycarbonate housing... Vacation time and good diving equipment are coming from hard-earned money and are not cheap for many people and I don't think many people aware of this are willing to take a bet on getting taxed or not where there are other islands in the Caribbean that provides peace of mind on arrival. It's unacceptable to have to pay additional tax on temporary imported personal equipments. I would love to go to Cozumel but Mexico in general has been a big NO for years because of all the madness going on with customs.

I normally dive on a rebreather, and now that I am getting back into underwater photography I'm looking for a monitor that has a really long battery life to add to the Nauticam housing that I recently picked up secondhand so as the monitor will last as long as the rebreather. What are the options for monitors that last longer than 2 hours? And what else do I need to know about monitors when selecting one? Are there any articles or dummies guides to selecting a monitor?
