  • If you like honey

    Dan. The yellow green farmers market is very close to you. I believe it is just south of Sheridan. Many local farmer and a great olive guy. Lots of over priced craft kitsch stuff too. But good free range eggs and awesome honey.


    They are hokey but the people at the info desk will let you spin this wheel for discounts and prizes. I have gotten a half dozen free eggs, free honey and free olive oil so it is worth the goofy people.

  • If you like honey

    Buy local honey from farmer markets with honeycomb in the mason jar. Usually a good indicator if there are also a few bees in the jar ;)


    I love honey. This is very upsetting news.

  • Newer gopros and filters

    I was interested in two different things. Has anyone played with polarized filters on their camera? I know that they are amazing for sunglasses and I assume that the are largely useless underwater as there is not a lot of glare.
    I was thinking of putting one in a housing for my gopro hero one to mount on the boat for good surface footage and perhaps day long time lapse.



    The other question I had relates to the newer models. The 3 and 3+. I know their white balance is touted as much improved. My question is, if I install a filter but start every vid looking at the sky above water, will the white balance adjust above water and then kick in for natural red fill as I dive?

  • GoPro hero3+ black edition advice please

    Yeah. Good call xan. Especially if you are diving on the bottom. When I am oriented at the same level as my target I am usually looking up relative to the position of my body. It is very slight though. If you are shooting in wide should catch most things.


    Angled up usually results in missing shots from the surface where i am more likely looking straight or down.

  • Best spearfishing snorkel

    I use a snorkel made by Tusa. The mouth purge is very similar to the one on the stable but with a different top. It was my first snorkel and I learns on it and I am more comfortable with it than any other.
    I don't know the name and I bought it used so I can't tell you how it compares to the stable as far as price.


    I also agree with art. Go with what is comfortable.

  • Choosing a speargun

    Jelly. You have a tough spot to be in. You are facing an initial investment in something that you really don't know if you like. My recommendation is to get a pipe gun in the 120 cm range. I started out w a biller and quickly outgrew it and regretted the purchase. The nice thing about the rail gun is everyone uses them and they are always going to be able to be resold at a better value than the biller or jbl


    I hope you love the sport and have a new lifelong passion. But, either way I'd get a rail gun hahaha

  • Art Pinder RIP

    I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back at the blue wild and he was a great guy. His love of the ocean and of diving still shined through even in his old age. He will be greatly missed.


    Rest in peace and condolences to those he left behind

  • Best underwater video camera under $5000?

    Quote from Dan

    Judah, the kind of footage I'd like would take too long to get diving Miami, so I must do a trip. In this case I depend on other people and sea conditions. If everything goes right I don't want to be experimenting with cameras, I want the best results possible to get the shots I need in one time. I will use both cameras together, the Gopro head mounted and the other camera hand held.


    I understand that. That makes a lot of sense. The more shot vantage points the better the video always is.

  • A Dying Art

    I like the badger pic. I agree about preserving the wilderness and the wildness. It is important to remember our evolutionary heritage.
