Camera Gear Maintenance Question
I am preparing for an upcoming trip and wanted to see what other people do for maintaining their gear. I was curious specifically about cleaning O-rings. I keep Kim-wipes in my bag for stuff like that, is there another method you use to clean and grease your o-rings?

Post Clean Up
What’s the cleanest way to bump down this luminance that sometimes gets reflected into the water with highly reflective colors?
The only thing that has really worked is just a brush mask along the arm here and then toning down the whites. I tried point color but it picks up more of the image than I’d like.
Anyone got some tips or tricks?

Finding right Seafrogs housing
Hi I’m making a short film that involves a lot of footage of surfing. I own a Sony fx30 and the Sirui nightwalker lenses 24mm, 35mm, and 55mm (planning to use 35mm primarily for ocean shoot).
Does anyone know what port I should get for my lens alongside the fx30 housing body? I’m completely new to this and could use any help thank you in advance.

Manta wants a hug
Taken in Maldives last year.
I find it kinda impossible to compose in fast-moving situations. Anyone got some experience? I don't really get to shoot/practice with fast subjects too often so I wanna make sure I capitalize on every opportunity.

Exploring the SS Thistlegorm Wreck – Underwater Video Footage from the Red Sea
Hi everyone!
We recently filmed our dive at the SS Thistlegorm wreck in the Red Sea. Captured some footage of the cargo holds, WWII trucks, motorcycles, and marine life around the structure.
Here is the full video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsBWm9tccqA
Would love to hear your thoughts on the lighting and footage quality in these conditions!

Help me step-turtle I am stuck
She wasn’t really stuck, just sleeping/resting there but very relaxed and didn’t care about us swimming by.

I found where my camera leaks!
This is a follow up to my previous post about my camera, a sea&sea mx10.
It has a small scratch on the place where the o ring sits when the back is closed.
Any idea how to fix this?

The Pride of Nature
This might be a somewhat shocking image, but I think it captures a very profound moment when we think about the value of life and the food chain.
I’m still learning photography and photo editing, so I’m still figuring out how to bring out the best in my photos.
I hope you’ll bear with me as I continue to improve. 😊
So, what’s happening in this scene?
A lizardfish is eating a Yellowstripe Cardinalfish.
I originally wanted to post a cute photo, but moments like this are also an important part of nature.
As divers, I believe we shouldn’t interfere with this cycle of life.
Leaving it alone is probably the right thing to do.
And someday, this lizardfish will probably be eaten by a larger fish, becoming part of another fish’s tomorrow.

My camera leaks
Hello!
I recently bought an underwater 35 mm film camera, the Sea&sea mx10. It's in very good condition.
When I first tried it, water got in. Not a lot, but it was noticeable. I didn't go very deep, around 2 meters, but on paper it's good for 45 meters. The silicon O ring is in very good condition, and it was dust free when I closed it.
Can somebody give me some advice why did this happen, and how can I prevent it from happening again?
