@Isaac Szabo 30mm extension still for sale. PMing you.

Nights are always different. Good stuff!

Aloha and welcome! You'll find a lot of the same folks from the other site. I wasn't too active there.

Well done sir! Cool little study.

Aloha and welcome!

Exactly right.

I'm curious about the rate of o-ring failure in housings equipped with vacuums. Certainly it makes good sense. As I think through the process of putting a vacuum into play - the pre-dive checkout - maybe the true value is noting errors during that process which prevents issues during the dive. After the check perhaps the vacuum isn't necessary.

You made some nice pictures at Anilao. Sad to hear about the strobe.

Welcome and Aloha! We have a few folks here who love making 3d odds and ends to make gear work better. Enjoy the site!

Could it be that the water drops in the housing and the vacuum sensor are separate problems? If the housing hasn't been serviced in a while, I wonder about the integrity of the small o-rings that keep water from leaking into the housing. I've removed what seems like a lot of sand from some buttons, especially after being rolled in the sand on shore exits. Also, I may be swimming against the current, but I often dive my Nauticam housings without engaging a vacuum. Worked fine in years past, and I have yet to flood a Nauticam. Some of my plastic housings have bid adios to the great god Neptune, but never a Nauticam.

Do you think it would make any difference trying your 90 on a different body? Or trying a different 90? You experience seems so different from what other folks are saying. I'd be happy to take the thing off your hands if you can't get it sorted.

I feel your pain. I suppose the trick is to act nonchalant while your shoulder screams.

I would agree with @Oren Noah that checking with your wife's OB should guide your travels. Pregnancy is also a risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). If everything checks out as low risk, then much of the advice given above is spot on, especially deep into the 2nd trimester when things should be in cruise control.

Aloha and welcome!
