Totally agree with this. It's always nice to get a new piece of gear - but always awful if it leaves you thinking, I wish I'd gone for the (slightly more expensive) version X+. Buy cheap, regret endlessly, buy twice?

This was what we thought on our last visit there in 2019. Slim pickings.

My focus light uses AAs (an Inon) and I chose it for that reason; and I dont travel with a laptop…. 😝 Chargers are great if you only needed one. But unless you can find things that are, say, USB-C compatible, you end up traveling with a bag full of chargers, cables and plugs. I’ve actually worked quite hard to minimise all of that. Then I can get a spare t-shirt into my bag!

Hi Wapiti! Good to have you with us and congrats on the move. I'm sure you'll see lots of familiar names here. We hope you enjoy the forum.

Hi Jim! Good to have you with us and congrats on the move. With the increasing decline of WP, combined with lack of response from the owner, we thought we should establish a new forum to ensure the community survives. I'm sure you'll see lots of familiar names. 12th trip to Bonaire is quite something! Any thoughts on what changes you have seen there over the years? It'd make for an interesting thread especially as its a popular destination for US uw photographers.

Hi Shelby! Great to have you with us. A warm welcome. As a WP hand, I’m sure you’ll see lots of familiar names. We hope you like the forum

@Interceptor121 @Adventurer Let's move on, please, gentlemen

Oh sure, I totally agree - hence being interested 😀

Yay! Enjoy!! And don't forget, anytime you need help on how to spend money, Waterpixels is a constant source of inspiration and sound advice. We're here to assist.......

Yeah, I got that too and it was the first I'd heard of it. Fits all of the Retras apart from the originals. Interesting for sure. One thing I really like about the Retras though is being able to use AA batteries. Easy to charge, transport, replace etc etc.

Sounds fascinating! Thanks!

....... aaaand a very good day on the makar0n sales market..... 😀

Good man, Frederic! Great to have you with us. A warm welcome!

Great to have you with us. A warm welcome. Really sad the way WP has gone. I’m sure you’ll see lots of familiar names.

Hi Neal Great to have you with us. I'm sure you'll see lots of names you recognise from "the old forum"...... (RIP) I'm a D500 shooter myself. Love it! Could well be wort advertising your kit here on the Classifieds. Always worth a shot. Best wishes

Hi composs Great to have you with us. Welcome! We hope you really enjoy the site. Best wishes

I've found Miso a bit hard to get hold of in the last few months. But persevere. He does reply. I've not seen an update to his website for ages - maybe since v4. He's now up to v6 and seems to sell mainly through dealers. So if you look at the Bluewater website you'll find them there. No sign of a SeaFrogs adaptor there though. The main parts of the Vivid Sentinel are common to all housings. It's customised to a specific housing by the adaptor that screws on to the base of the Sentinel and then into the housing. So it's the thread on the housing bulkhead which you need to know. So getting a SeaFrogs fit should be doable unless it's some really odd size..

We've used Tauch Terminal several times. A good dive operation, nice accommodation, beach front, easy walk to the Liberty wreck.

Hard to believe no-one has snapped this up! A great deal for an amazing system. Yeah, a bit dated, but I know from personal experience that it can produce superb results.

Really interesting stuff, Massimo. Thanks Could you just explain your final paragraph a little more? I don’t quite follow….. Thanks!
