LAUPS International Digital Entry Update

We're now caught up on the emailed digital entries. If you haven't received confirmation for an emailed entry, please contact us.

LAUPS International Digital Entry Confirmations

We got a lot of digital entries Friday night. Please be patient, I will confirm receipt as I download, open, and sort them. It may take me until Sunday night. Please do not send your images again unless asked; if you don't hear from me, please just send an email with no attachments. The mailbox isn't full, but it is moving slowly, and attaching your files again will slow us up. Thanks.

New Set of UW Filters

There have been several sets of reddish underwater color-restoring filters offered, including Singh-Ray and UR Pro, and while quite popular with video, they've never really caught on with still photographers. Here's a new set, called Magic Filters, specifically designed to work in conjunction with digital cameras and custom white balancing at depth, every 2 meters of depth or so.

Dive Boat Conception is back in the water

Almost exactly 5 months after the theft and grounding, the Conception is repaired and back in the water.
