Mexico Underwater Camera "Tax" spread to Cancun
Thanks for the advice, but I think I'll keep going to Asia. I don't like surprises when it's about money and I don't like to play the mouse and cat game with the customs.

Mexico Underwater Camera "Tax" spread to Cancun
I'm also considering a trip to Baja California, not this year but in 2026. I'm follwing this thread from the begining. What about the airports coming from Europe going to Baja right now ?. I wouldn't like to get scammed at the airport.

Mutli strand vs single core fiber
Hello, your cables look amazing, I didn't know that fiber so probably I'll buy a few meters to test it. I don't have any account to share my designs in 3D but I'm going to open one. I would like to share my very simple conectors and also my zoom gears for aquatica. In the picture you can see the connector and the pof fiber, they fit perfectly with retra strobes, subtronic strobes and I would say taht also with Nauticam housings, one of my dive partners use them with Nauticam but I guess he must fit them first in an adapter. Me, with aquatica housing and other partner with Subal housing are using led triggers where the led is fitted directly to the housing by the outside as shown in the picture. For the connectors to make them fit and don't release I designed two slots in order to put two 0.5mm thick orings. They really work great.

Mutli strand vs single core fiber
I had several issues with thin cables which I forgot once I started to use thicker POF cables. I buy them by meters in Aliexpress (3 mm core) and I print my own connectors in petg.

Belize and Aggressor IV
Not about Belize but yes about Agressor. I have been in a dive trip in the red sea on the Agressor Red Sea II 3 weeks ago, I was told it was a luxyry boat, they charge as a luxury boat. It's not, it's a normal boat with the normal services in the red sea, the staff made the difference. They were fantastic, but the boat on itself, old and normal.

Inexpensive Chinese video lights
atus replied to Jukka-Pekka Salmenkaita's post in a topic in Lights, Strobes, and Lighting TechniqueWell, it's your opinion. I have 2 of them, and almost 4 of my partners have it also. We all also use it in night dives (medium power, full power is too much for me in a night dive) the ones who run video use it to lit the scene and the ones who takes pictures like me, use it as a focus light. I don't see any reason to buy it from Amazon for double the price. And I don't need to read any opinion in Amazon. I have my own experience over the years with this torch. Trust me, for 40-50 euros you won't find anything better. I have no idea the real power they give, but for sure more than the 800 euros Sola torches. I would probably buy this lux meter just for couriosity, even I don't trust a lot in a 40 euros lux meter 😉

Inexpensive Chinese video lights
atus replied to Jukka-Pekka Salmenkaita's post in a topic in Lights, Strobes, and Lighting TechniqueWell, I usually would agree you, but in this case, at least with the torches that I have linked, not . I have one of that torches for about long 4 years and still working fine. I know it doesn't give 20.000 lumen, the color temperature it's not bad, but everytining always can improve, and the batteries are 4x18650, an standar nowadays. I had torches that I paid more than 400 euros than lasted just two years. My dive buddy had two Sola, he paid 800 euros each some years ago. Those ones lasted 2 years, after that time they flooded and the factory simply said that were out of warranty.

Inexpensive Chinese video lights
atus replied to Jukka-Pekka Salmenkaita's post in a topic in Lights, Strobes, and Lighting TechniqueMe and my friends are using these torches for years, they definitevely do the job, obviously they don't give the 20.000 lumen announced, but for the price...We mostly use it as a focus torch, for night dives and some of my friends which do video with a gopro use two of them to lit the scene. https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005002229906611.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.294c64aa2cEV1q&algo_pvid=a55182d1-8cad-4e0a-aec4-9edb91bbf71d&algo_exp_id=a55182d1-8cad-4e0a-aec4-9edb91bbf71d-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis!EUR!43.49!43.49!!!329.72!329.72!%40211b65de17291032517964201e3bac!12000019441952825!sea!ES!2040584551!X&curPageLogUid=WMAxGCVtkZyG&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A
