1st of all, without strobe light, the effects will never be good. tat is a certain.

 

to remove the bluish tints, a couple of things u need to know abt the camera and films. read up the manual, there's definitely a section on instructions to the developing studio. something abt changing the tonal values (RGB thingy i think)... which can be done on the developing machine. however, u need to verbally inform the guys/gals at the studio to do it. else they will juz develop normally.

 

otherwise, if u r into digital or knows a little thing or 2 abt photoshop, read up this article:

digital underwater photography and imaging

 

sorry that's abt as much as i can remember now missing too much critical info

Ok, thanks man... i'll check it out

I think he's talking about nitrox.

 

From what i know, it have a higher percentage of oxygen, so can allow you to stay underwater for a longer time rite? But side effects would be that its possible to get oxygen poisoning or overdose, something like dat.

 

I'm sure there r many websites talking about nitrox.

Pulau Perhentian is a nice place to dive. I'll upliad some pics when I have the time.

Nitrox FAQ

 

jungleboy111:

breathing compressed air, we learn that nitrogen narcosis is a worrying factor... however as the o2 level in nitrox is significantly higher, the risk of oxygen toxicity is higher. its safer at sport diving depth but extremely dangerous at depth (solution : trimix )

thk u floppy. while diving with higher O2 it gives u more comfident n 'cos knowing risk is diff form norl u become more caution:cheeky:

Actually i always wanted to do a Nitrox course... however, i realise nitrox is not popular in the resorts/dive operators in this part of the world. i guess its due to cost contraints

 

Still, i'll probably do it in the future, as a way of improving myself and understanding the various diving options out there...

rebreather sounds fun

Yes, money is definitely a huge factor in diving....

 

Sometimes, even when you dun have so much money, becof of your passion of it, you will find ways to go abt doing it.

we no need to take what .....since diving buddies ....we go down with one tank la ...than share ....i breath in ..... pass the air to u thru a pipe ...than take turns ....kekeke

[Greg]

If any of you guys want to do technical diving, let me know.... Be it nitrox, re-breather, dry suit etc.... demand in this part of the world not so high for this kind of diving.

[Guest enHANZed]

how about the underwater vehical thingy ?

[Greg]

don't really need training in vehicle movement underwater what.... but should you require it, I can check..... as you know, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.......

[Guest enHANZed]

the thing is ...where do i get that vehical in the 1st place
