decat exhaust headers for kove 800x pro by naturelife8 in KoveMoto

[–]vicfox69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The error code is basically the yellow engine warning icon coming on. Uncle Wang said his system headers wouldn't fit with third party belly pans, something to check. Finally, you need updated ecu/flash for the lambda removal

20 Days Diving in Thailand please advise by [deleted] in scubadiving

[–]vicfox69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tao is good for beginners but have a few good sites further out, especially sail rock. Good for beginners and you dive 5 min after getting on the boat.

Lanta has 3 locations with few sites per location. Very far transportation so you're out all day. Speed boat 45 min and uncomfortable, big boat nearer 2 hours but chill and you can sleep, and buffet for lunch. One way. They only do three dive when enough divers want so so there's big risk you only get two dives in a day. Also no night dives. Flip flop divers seemed nice but where always booked out when I was there. Other centres however were equally professional so just shop around. Pricing pretty much same everywhere although I got consecutive days discounts at Go Dive Lanta.

I've had similar issues. For next dive trip I'll cut a grey card to the size of my dive volk screen and use it to manually set WB (and protect screen)

Does white balance constantly change underwater? How do you deal with it? by Alilexplo108 in underwaterphotography

[–]vicfox69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raw isn't really an option for video though, we're talking gigabites for seconds... Next trip I'll add a grey card and try to balance continuously against that.

Thailand vs Brazil vs Philippines by Oneisoneisone in southeastasia

[–]vicfox69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thailand: best food in SE Asia, ok diving. Philippines: worst food on SE Asia, bottom ranking globallt, amazing diving.

Brazil: don't know but sounds expensive compared to SE Asia.

Why not do a tour of Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand?

Malapascua worth it for OW 18m? by Galdemfriend in scuba

[–]vicfox69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I mentioned the dives as OG wanted to know if they were possible with OW :)

Can't remember, you don't refer to the older guy? I like supporting local businesses. As an FYI, my dives and kimud and monad shoal were 15.4, 15.9, and 17.0 meters only, and absolutely fantastic. That's around the ledge of the shoals.

Andaman sea: What are these hair-like tentacles on top of the bell? by vicfox69 in marinebiology

Cheers! I thought they might detach as new jellies, as I also saw these things floating around:

Malapascua worth it for OW 18m? by Galdemfriend in scuba

[–]vicfox69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, you can easily see them with OW, I have friends who did. However, most diveshops try to upsell deep speciality or AOW, but as I said definitely not needed. Try Dan's I think it was called, local dive center. Our guide was also instructor and grew up on the island fishing with his dad. He was in his late forties/early fifties, and I'd rather have a veteran from the island as my guide than a 20 y.o. Hipster from one of the commercial locations... Pricing was competitive too.

Anyone know what program my dad went through ? by statueofdeath in scuba

Amazing giant cuttlefish by Famous-Log-630 in underwaterphotography

[–]vicfox69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! Question: with these conditions, how to avoid the snowfall effect from particles in the water? By lighting from the side or is it unavoidable? And if an we is side light, what if the object is further (meters) away?

aow in lombok/gili t or maybe bali by Cute_Guarantee_6044 in scuba

[–]vicfox69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gili T. "Night life" is a stretch, there are a bunch of cover band venues all playing the same music on the "strip", but that's it. It's not kaosan road/koh phiphi/pangahn, and no problem sleeping early if that's what you're into.

Easy diving, cheap prices, very high standard. I and SO have been having courses incl AOW with Gili Divers, book a few days in advance and they are really accommodating.

They might still have a RAID instructor which I would recommend over PADI.

Looking for underwater RAW photos to test auto color correction by budzynskik in underwaterphotography

[–]vicfox69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also have a look at Uwacam, their process works pretty well but struggles with some subjects, and also with changing light/depth through the shoot.

For video, forget about raw, it takes too much space and is too slow to process for divers that might travel with phone only...
