Bonica SeaKing II Camera System
Bonica Precision recently announced a new addition to their line of camera systems for underwater photography: the SeaKing II.
The SeaKing II is the fun camera that offers the greatest reliability and versatility in its class. It can be a point-and-shoot underwater camera: Simply pick your subject, aim, and press the large shutter release. But it’s a camera that you won’t outgrow. When you’re ready for multiple flashes, close-up or macro photography, the SeaKing II is ready for you, with accessories that are as easy to use as the camera itself.
The features and specifications of the SeaKing II include: Protected against flooding by “GOALI” system , coated 3-element glass lens system, f/5.6 30mm lens, 125th second shutter speed, auto DX, magnetic on/off switch saves energy (no need to open case), fully controllable flash including red-eye reduction, auto film advance and motorized rewind, digital readout indicating flash mode and frame count, built-in flash, rated to 150 feet depth, no cords or cables, and a 1-year warranty.
The new Neon Strobe from Bonica is a powerful underwater slave that complements the SeaKing II. It has a fully-adjustable arm and flash head. The Neon Strobe swivels 360 degrees and allows flashing from any angle. Uniquely featured with dual sensors, the Neon Strobe fires simultaneously with the camera flash without the need of a sync cord.
The Bonica Marine Lens reduces the minimum focal length of the SeaKing II from four feet down to two feet. The lens can be lowered at any time underwater to allow photography with the regular camera lens.
The Bonica 1:6 Close-up Kit allows users of the SeaKing II to take underwater macro photos between the range of 10 to 16 inches. The close-up lens can be conveniently flipped down to allow normal photographic shots using the regular camera lens.

Dacor Free H.U.B. Test Dive
Dacor Corporation has announced the launch of a comprehensive promotion aimed at its revolutionary new diving system, H.U.B. (Human Underwater Breathing). H.U.B. is a fully integrated design that incorporates all components of life support equipment into a compact design that makes the diving experience better. H.U.B. offers simplicity and convenience in traveling, easy dive preparation, more precise buoyancy control, and a better fit for balance and comfort in the water.
The core of the H.U.B. is a rugged and ergonomic backpack that is the frame for orienting all other components. The comfortably contoured unit comes in four sizes to insure the best fit, balance in all swimming positions, and comfort as divers swim with less drag. Incorporated into the backpack is a Viper America regulator, which has a telescoping first stage attachment that stores quickly and safely. The buoyancy control component of the H.U.B. is uniquely designed offering true inflation and deflation control. More precise adjustment is possible with this innovative design, for perfect buoyancy in any position in the water. Additionally, the location of the inflate/deflate mechanism is located on the lower left side of the diver, where it should be for instinctive and convenient access. Octopus and instrumentation features are both located in easy to access storage pockets, where the hoses are coiled out of the way and are available on demand by the diver. The overall component orientation results in a streamlined single unit.
The H.U.B. is especially convenient when planning and packing for a dive. One integrated system folds up and packs for traveling into a package that is small enough to take on a plane as carry-on. Once on location, just grab the H.U.B. by its convenient carry handle and jump on the dive boat. Dive preparation time is considerably less.
Dacor is offering all divers the opportunity to Test Dive it free at their Dacor retail dive shops. Contact your Dacor retail dealer for specific dates, and locations. Dacor can be found on the web at www.divedacor.com.
