Folks We do our best to head off scammers. But we’ve all seen cases where an offer of sale or purchase comes out of the blue and either sounds or turns out to be dodgy. If you think you’ve found a scammer, please report it here and share the info with the membership.

Great to have you with us, RVBldr. Lots of refugeeniks here….,welcome!

Hey Johnoly! Welcome to Waterpixels - great to have you with us whether from FL or the edges of the solar system. We hope you find the forum really helpful.

You’re having too much fun! Stop it. I’m jealous 🤪

Hey Travis! Welcome to Waterpixels. Good to have you with us. Quarries eh? 🥶

Hey, Jantina! Welcome, great to have you with us. You’d be most welcome to copy your destination reports here.

Yep, agreed. The work he did was amazing and I'm sure many of us have got a few of his books and rely on them for IDs. A huge loss to the community.

Another suggestion : set your charm setting to extreme when checking in. A smile, a bit of rapport, touch of humility….

Yep, Nikon have been great for that ever since they introduced digital cameras.

Oh wow, I hadn’t heard that. An amazing guy. He’s done so much for marine conservation through fish ID etc. RIP indeed.

Stick an AirTag into anything hold loaded. Then, worst comes to the worst, you should be able to see where it has gone.

Hi Bernard! Great to have you with us here. Welcome aboard.

We recognise you indeed, Xterra! Welcome to your new home. We hope you enjoy it.

Hi Xterra Yep, you can indeed change your flag. If you go into Account>Profile>Settings>Settings Are>Country, you can chose country.

Sold! Thanks, Kirsty

Done!

Sorry! That was not very clear. I asked Oskar about a diaphragm version of the Retra LSD. He said it was something they had looked at but decided against as they were fragile and prone to breaking. But... I live in hope they could solve that problem. I like the masks but being able to dial in a circular adjustment (point taken on the shape issue, Barmaglot) would be terrific.

Congratulations to @jjmochi on joining Waterpixels and being our 500th member!

Hi mochikat! Great to have you with us. Yep, you'll see lots of old Wetpixel hands here; and yes, so sad about Wetpixel and Adam. We really hope you like the new site. And.... [drum roll]..... Congratulations on being the 500th member!!!

Yeah, that's what Oskar said when I asked about it: they are fragile and prone to breaking or jamming. Made me wonder about the Marelux one.

I just love the idea of a snoot with a diaphragm. I know Retra have looked at it…. but….. Come on Oskar!

I agree with the guys, Chip: get a snoot. It makes a massive difference to macro photography. And they are so fun to play around with - well at least once the early frustrations are out of the way!

I’m a warm water fan for sure. The Red Sea trip we did last August in the St John’s area, my computer showed a temperature several times at depth of over 30 degrees. Moving north back towards Port Ghalib first dive of the day temperature on the surface was 28. It felt cold! Life eh?

Great to have you with us! I’m guessing Pacific Northwest….

Barmaglot’s point is a fair one. The only thing I’d add is that there’s nothing worse than going for the lower model…. then constantly thinking I should have bought the better one. Been there, regretted that.
