sea and sea fisheye dome

  1. sea and sea fisheye dome

    I returned form the Galapagos 2 weeks ago with a lot of equipment damage! Broken dive computer, lost integrated weight pouch, stolen passport and driver's license.... but the worst was several "dings" in my fisheye dome!

     

    My question is- will these "dings" show up on my pictures? Do I now need to purchase a new dome?

     

    With all of the mishaps of this trip..... it was an excellant trip! Luckily the passport was stolen the day we were returning to Guayquil from San Cristobol. Since it was a Sunday- and the following day was MLK holiday the US consulate would not re-open until Tuesday morning- which meant I needed to extend my vacation by 3 days holed up in a 5 star resort while my husband had to return home to work! (someone has to earn a living so we can support our diving habit!)

  2. Hi Sugar,

     

    If the dings are on the outside of the dome, they _probably_ won't appear in the photos, because the water will "fill" in the holes, and has an index of refraction close enough to that of water. You should try it in a pool and see.

     

    And how about posting some of your photos for us "landlocked" folks, eh?

     

    Cheers
