Hi Mark.
Thanks for the advice, these are just the kind of tips I was hoping for. I'm really glad you mentioned not to use the filter too as one came with the housing and I assumed that I would need it there.
The controls on the housing give me full…
Hey Tony,

Hi John awsome pictures. I remember the whole crew were really puzzled by the absence of the GWS, hadn't heard the whale carcass explanation before, makes sense though. We went back almost a year later (last July) and finally did get to see them. Ha…

Cheers,
Mark.
