    • I have created a petition for this. Please join if you support this: https://chng.it/kkpq5MnYSX
    • I was watching alex excellent video on a1 Sony settings and he mentioned using SteadyShot Adjust Manual mode when using the 28-60 lens with the wwl-b1 wet lens. He suggested to dial in the focal length in this scenario.  Quick kudos for the smart ones on here that know how i can find this out please? Is it 14mm or more or less?    Weather is bad here so im tweaking....
    • What I meant was that you could use it for a year on a worldwide travel should you choose to travel to other questionable exotic destinations (e.g. recent development in Indonesia - which I think was relaxed a bit)   https://www.londonchamber.co.uk/international-trade/trade-documentation/ata-carnet/ata-carnet-faqs/#:~:text=An ATA Carnet can be,the validity of the document.     For sure. The ball is at tour operators hand now as only they could put pressure on somebody inside mexgov to issue clarification on camera accessories. That would put this issue to bed. 
    • I absolutely agree Romik, it is disgusting. The Cenotes (Where, I dived in June with my camera and full underwater kit) are beautiful and certainly worth diving, but I have heard Cabo San Lucas is much worse that Cancun, so clearly the law is being applied differently between areas of Mexico. This behaviour would simply NEVER be an issue in the UK as there would be up-roar and rightfully so.    I know a Carnet takes the fun out of things and I certainly don't want the cost or hassle, but if I want to dive Socorro, which I do then I may have to pay it. I'm not sure I trust my credit card company to reimburse me as a charge back. It's also A LOT of money at 2 or 3 thousand dollars.    The Carnet for Mexico only lasts for 6 months not a year, I believe. I have never needed or heart of one until recently on Waterpixels.    Once I have done Socorro (If I actually decide to go) I will NOT go back to Mexico until they change this rule, but it would appear that the government are happy about tourists not going on diving holidays, which will eventually hit the tour operators and liveaboard operators. 
    • Wow, things move fast in the internet age... this is disgusting development and certainly is putting Mexico cenotes and Socorro off my list until I am ready to add $400 and a hassle and time to my trip...    I went quickly through ATA Carnet options and although possible it simply puts fun out of a trip.    Mexico says: https://anam.gob.mx/exportacion-e-importacion-temporal-de-mercancias-mediante-cuadernos-ata-ing/  basic fees: https://www.atacarnet.com/processing-fees ... and something special for Mexico as always: https://www.atacarnet.com/advisory/Mexico-Special-Considerations   In theory ATA Carnet would solve out world travel for a year for one fee  but in practice dealing with customs on arrival AND departure and various special considerations ... 🤮
