CineBags CB70 Square Grouper, your underwater housing's best friend
Underwater photographers know that our underwater rigs are susceptible to leaks even if it’s in the rinse bucket. Housings can get banged up or bumped and ports can come loose. It is also a pain to carry your underwater camera from one place to another due to its weight. CineBags came up with the ultimate carrying bag for our underwater camera rig, CB70 Square Grouper. You could now easily and comfortably carry your whole rig from your hotel or resort to the dive boat. It could also serve as a personal rinse tank to avoid any accidents.

Watch the surprise in this video of a false killer whale visiting snorkelers in Tonga this year
Earlier this year, Scott Portelli, an Australia diver and trip leader, captured a very unexpected event when a false killer whale suddenly jumped over a guest. Or actually, behind a guest. The perspective looks otherwise though!
According to Portelli, "Today out on the water we had an unexpected encounter with a large pod of false killer whales." One of the false killer whales from the pod swam under the snorkler and suddenly leaped (what appears to be) right over him. This is a truly fun, and rare event, which Portelli has luckily caught on camera.
