  1. I’m heading to Cozumel for a dive trip on April 15! If you want this kit in time for your spring dives, the last day I can ship is Friday, April 10. Skip the retail backorders—this is a complete, factory-fresh Octo setup (housing replaced 08/25) with low shutter count and all the necessary gears/ports. Ready to dive immediately!
  2. For my upcoming Cozumel trip, I’m planning to use the AO cooler as both a tote and a rinse tank, instead of bringing a separate mesh bag. For the flights, I’ll fold it in half, vacuum pack it, and tuck it into the front pocket of my suitcase, though I could also use it as a carry-on or to line another bag. For diving, I’ll place a 10L nylon dry sack inside and use it to transport my gear to and from the boat. Once on the boat, the dry sack comes out and the cooler gets filled with fresh water as a rinse tank, as suggested by the dive shop. After the dive, I’ll dump the water, pack my wet wetsuit and other gear inside along with the dry sack, and take it back to the hotel, while leaving my BCD, reg, and fins on the boat.
  3. I just saw this post. Without a 3d printer, this was my solution on my AOI housing
  4. Hey everyone, I’m currently shooting the Olympus OM-1 with the Panasonic 8mm fisheye in an AOI DLP-06 acrylic dome. I haven’t had enough bottom time with this setup yet to know if internal reflections will be an issue, but looking at the port hood petals, I'm curious: does anyone proactively line the inside of the petals with matte tape or similar materials to kill stray light? Is this a known quirk with the DLP-06/8mm combo, or am I overthinking it before seeing the files? Would love to hear if anyone uses flocking or gaffer tape here. Cheers!
  5. Thank you for all the feedback. I've decided to go with the AO Cooler 36. I've had to cancel my first liveaboard trip unfortunately. Instead, we are taking a quick trip to Cozumel next month. The dive shop actually recommended I use my own soft-sided cooler bag for camera gear, since their rinse tank is too small. I've also managed to vacuum pack the bag, so it fits in the front pocket of a suitcase.
