Thanks Tim, don't believe the patches are available in Australia, only the pill form is available. I believe the concern was that the patches did not reliably provide the dosage required if I read the article correctly. it says: "which has been used internationally for motion sickness but has been unavailable in Australia due to issues with manufacturers unstable delivery mechanisms. " I'm guessing it delivered too much initially for them to ban it. Wonder if that may be something that makes this problem worse? I got pretty bad sea sickness on a (rather rough) the trip out to Rowley Shoals and we had a doctor on board who suggested I double the dosage ( I'm a fairly big guy) Really noticed the drying of the mouth compared to just one pill when we did a second open ocean leg and seemed more effective. Of course check with your doctor before doing this. With hindsight a better solution to sea sickness may have been to not have dinner that night - much better after it came back up again!

its interesting how much they look like marelux housing...

Congratulations Maria Started out with a RX100iithen went down the DSLR rabbit hole - not too many regrets BUT just recently we bought two TG7 set ups for our dive guests to use and of course had to give them a try on our last few dives! They are great little cameras!! Look forward to seeing all your contributions Cheers

I am still waiting for Generative Expand in the crop tool. This is super useful if you crop and rotate and the corner goes outside the frame. Photoshop has had this feature forever and its one of the reasons I ever need to use it.

Don‘t hold back. This forum is for sharing images, no? I‘d certainly like to see more.

Don't tempt me. Working through the trip images now. BVA

Hi Phillip, Thanks for the lovely words. I hate saying this but I honestly think Smartphones and action cams have shaken up the underwater photography world and created a hugely positive ripple of change in underwater imagery, especially amongst the younger generation. There's something about videos that captivate so many. I personally love the Tough range and have rarely shot using full Manual Control. I'll never forget Daniel Norwood, one of my course guests, now on the Editorial Team for DivePhotoGuide winning the British Society of Underwater Photographer's Best Beginner competition with a semi-manual compact, like the Olympus Tough range, and beating the runner-up with a d-SLR by 27 points. He could achieve black backgrounds, snoot shots and of course wide-angle too. What do I think? I think that the Olympus Tough range has taken giant strides in the compact market to be the real leader, particularly with its macro capabilities. It's almost impossible to equal or beat at the moment for size, affordability and results. Plus more people are starting out with a Mirrorless System now like Sony's A7 range. Who knows what will happen in the future, I'm just going to grab each day as it comes with a large zest for learning and creating. Happy Shooting! Maria

Thank for the info, On a trip when I was using them I experienced in my body the heat-related problems that the article describe, increase of body temperature and the inability to sweat. At that time I hadn't read anything related to this.
