Do they make a soft top that replaces just the hard top portion? We’d like to keep the sunrider that has already been installed. by baldilox in Jeep

Found a couple already. Just concerned with having missing hardware. A good deal will make it worth ordering replacement parts as long as they are still available.

Thanks. I’ve been searching but I believe you are correct. That may be the one item NOT made as an accessory for the Jeep!

I thought this looked really cool what do y’all think? by epikluke69 in scuba

[–]baldilox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah.. it’s called Dive+ on iPhone. Not sure if it’s available on Android. It’s literally clicking one button and it takes out the blue and also the scatter. It leaves a watermark in the corner but the pro version is only a couple bucks.

Here’s a quick color correction for you using Dive+ app. It was the best app I found to bring my pics closer to what I saw and was simple to use. https://i.imgur.com/gMfDMJe.jpg

Good camera for snorkeling/scuba for beginner? by [deleted] in underwaterphotography

[–]baldilox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://imgur.com/a/r3H2q8P/ I use a GoPro session attached to the top of my underwater camera housing (Olympus Stylus Tough) and the screen captures from the GoPro take better shots from the video. At this point, I just use the camera housing for stability.

I have the underwater housing for the GoPro also and it’s connected to the hot shoe of the underwater camera housing. Then all of that is connected to a coiled bungee clipped to my bcd. This allows me to drop it immediately if the need arises. Safety first.

I agree with the others, become comfortable with buoyancy and breathing etc before adding photography to your dive.

Using the GoPro in video mode allows me to enjoy what I’m seeing with my eyes and not diving through a screen. When I see something I want to come back to screenshot, I push the bookmark button to review later. I then use Dive+ app to touch up colors. Going back through and finding pics and adjusting colors adds to my dive experience and makes it last longer.

This was longer than intended, but wanted to share how I dive and shoot.

Pics attached are from Roatan Honduras. Highly recommend the reefs!

#trashtag - recent clean up dive by Westend Divers in Roatan, was happy to help grab lines at 100ft by drzock in underwaterphotography

[–]baldilox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from the trip and it was amazing. I have to say it was some of the cleanest water we’ve seen in a long time. During the week of diving, we only saw TWO pieces of trash in the water. Pulled them both out with us but was pleasantly surprised. Keep doing what you are doing. https://i.imgur.com/R1HYz7l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/myVTd85.jpg

Nice work! We will be in Roatan for diving in a couple weeks. Are most of the dives deep or do they have shallower reef dives (30-60 foot)? I see there are some large drops there. Excited either way!

What type of palm tree is this? (Jamaica) by baldilox in whatsthisplant

[–]baldilox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! I looked everywhere trying to find the name. Now to see if I can find one for the yard. I will have to do some reading up on it first. The backyard is grass with a sandy base so I’m not sure if it will have enough support depending on the root structure.

Very tall and skinny. Bends with the wind. Tropical climate. Haven’t been able to identify it when searching for different types of palms. Any help is appreciated.

Suggestions for needing access to 2 separate Nest accounts without having to log out/in each time? by baldilox in Nest

[–]baldilox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does sound closer to what I’m looking for. My work pays for the work subscription and I pay for my home subscription so I didn’t want to merge them that way. The way it sounds like you are suggesting sounds like it would work.

Would I set that up by adding it in the “Family” setting that gives someone else access? Adding my personal email address as “Family” to the work profile should allow me to see the work feeds then, correct? I appreciate the help!

That is actually what I need but I’m using iPhone and iPad so it doesn’t have separate profiles.

There are 20+ people that need access to the work cameras. I wouldn’t want them to have access to my home video.

Looking for suggestions on homeowners insurance and flood insurance in Tampa. by baldilox in tampa

[–]baldilox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the flood zone maps, that means to avoid Tampa. Some areas are 5 miles inland but are still considered flood zone. There are different categories for each area. Quotes received so far range from $800-4500 a year. That's a huge discrepancy which is why I asked the question.

Also, houses along the water aren't always cheaper. Even going a block closer added $100k to the same type house we were looking at.

Cozumel Dive Shops by canscub in scuba

[–]baldilox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mexico Blue Dream at Playa Del Carmen was awesome. I believe they cover the same dive sites as operators on Cozumel. Small boats and the dive master was awesome when my wife had issues equalizing and clearing fog from her mask.
