Definitely fun and not work.

That one is my design! Hope it works for you.

Yes, they are mostly standard.

That is exactly what I said. 🤔

The only solution is the mf-2. The mf-1 is just fatally flawed and not generally reliable.

That's a great set of images! Thanks for sharing!

Both. I spend a week at Misool Eco Resort, then get on the liveaboard the next day. I booked Misool a couple years ago, but 7 days makes for a short trip. I decided to augment the trip with the Liveaboard a couple of months ago.

@TimG Thanks for sharing! I have a trip booked on the same boat next Feb/March 2026. We'll be diving Misool Eco Resort for just 7 days, and will follow up with what seems to be the same route you took, but in reverse. We return from Misool to Sorong and get on the Emperor Harmoni boat the next morning. We then fly back to Sorong and head home. I didn't find a lot of info or reports about this operation online, so it's great to hear you had such a good experience. I'm really looking forward to the trip and your photos.

There are several lights that include USB-C charge ports in the flashlight body. Check out the OrcaTorch DC710 as an example. It has a replaceable 21700 battery which can be charged in or out of the light with a standard USB-C cable and your phone or similar charger.

No. The cap seems to be working just fine and no visible change.

FYI - I've done about 20 successful dives with my HF-1 since the battery compartment had a flood. I cleaned it and replaced the orings for good measure and it's working great.

That's great! Can you upload to MakerWorld as well?

The other thing that the vacuum does is to "load" the orings. This was critical in older housings like Ikelite with their original port clip system. They were kept sealed largely by water pressure compressing the port to the housing. In a dunk tank the slightest bump could make them leak. Today most housings use a mechanical latch to apply that initial load, but water pressure still magnifies it for a better seal.

I can send you a 3d printed zoom gear for the Nikon 8-15 & Nauticam housing. Message me if you decide to buy. Fyi: I use the Zen 170mm port for this lens.

This is the way. 🖖
