Child’s Play – Paralenz camera so simple to use
Everything about the Paralenz Dive Camera is made to be as intuitive as possible to let you focus on your dive. The basic design is based on a flashlight which makes locating the buttons very easy. The shape is also perfect for dealing with pressure and drag. It has an intuitive interface that can be operated with gloves and the camera’s haptic feedback always lets you know what it’s doing. The combination of design and features makes this camera so easy to use you could hand it to a child. Read on to find out why!
Magnetic Switches & Vibration Feedback
Traditional “Push-buttons” on most action cameras are too small, give too little feedback, don’t work very well under higher pressure and are practically impossible to use with gloves. The Paralenz Dive Camera has all magnetic switches and vibration feedback which instantly lets you know what the camera is doing. You never really need to look at the display as each function has its own distinctive vibration pattern that tells you what mode the camera is in, or if it has started or stopped recording. Another advantage with the magnetic switches it that they work at any pressure.
Intuitive Torch Shape
You have to learn the layout of the buttons on a camera. In some situations, you have to search for them or take a look to locate the right one. The Paralenz Dive Camera is designed like a torch, so you can intuitively locate the buttons. The shape makes it very easy to know what the camera is aiming at and with the 140-degree wide angle lens you will be sure to catch clear, fisheye free, color graded, footage of whatever is in front of the camera.
AutoRecord
Ever forgot to start the camera before your dive? You don’t have to worry about that anymore! Once the AutoRecord feature is enabled all you need to do is jump in. The camera will automatically start to record and stop again when you return to the surface. Don’t think about the camera, just dive!
SnapRecord
Switching through video and photo mode during the dive is a thing of the past! SnapRecord has both modes in one – you just click once for a picture and hold down to record video. Using SnapRecord you only record the memories you want, this way you don´t end up with gigabytes of footage you have to move, store and edit, to find the bits you want to keep.
DCC™ – Depth-controlled Color Correction
With the invention of DCC™, Paralenz has eliminated the need for colors filters. You get brighter footage and clearer colors from the surface to the bottom with no need to fiddle with filters or post color correction. You can share clean, color graded, under water footage, straight off the camera. Read more about the innovative Paralenz DCC™

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
