  • SUBNOX SUB10KEF 10,000-Lumen Pro Video Light Launched

    SUBNOX SUB10KEF 10,000-Lumen Pro Video Light Launched


    Unveiled at DEMA Show 2024, the SUBNOX brand was founded by professional underwater cameraman Kay Burn Lim, with the aim of creating advanced underwater lighting products designed to meet the needs of working videographers. Now, the new company has put the finishing touches to its first offering—the SUB10KEF, a 10,000-lumen wide-angle video light with some innovative features.  

    The powerful but compact video light is equipped with a specially designed light head and COB LED that produces three different light outputs. One mode is “traditional” light with a CRI of 93 and a color temperature of 5600K, equivalent to daylight. In the other two “Ambient Blue” modes, the light output is equivalent to ambient light at 6–13 meters (20–43 feet) and ambient light at 13–20 meters (43–66 feet).

    As depth increases and water absorbs colors from the light spectrum, white balance controls or red filters are used to restore natural colors, but this causes subjects illuminated by regular (daylight) video lights to appear overly red. Blue filters on video lights results in more natural-looking footage by helping to balance the foreground subject illuminated by the lights and the bluish background. However, the downside is that such filters reduce light intensity significantly.

    With its built-in ambient light options, the SUB10KEF provides ambient water color illumination approximately 2.5 times brighter than using physical blue filters. By covering two depth ranges—6–13 meters (20–43 feet) and 13–20 meters (43–66 feet)—at the twist of the rear dial, the SUB10KEF can be used in a variety of daytime lighting conditions as well as at night, when the 5600K (daylight) mode can be used.

    The SUB10KEF features an ergonomic 11-step (0–10) magnetic power control ring at the rear, and a rear-mounted LED display showing the brightness level as you turn the power control ring. After setting the brightness level, the display defaults, after five seconds, to the remaining burn time in minutes for the selected brightness level. The video light’s air-travel safe 72Wh battery pack can be charged from 0–80% in two hours and to 100% in three hours.

    Shipping late May, the SUBNOX SUB10KEF is priced at $800.

     



    PRODUCT INFORMATION

    SUB10KEF Wide Angle Video Light – 10,000 Lumens With Daylight 5600K & Ambient (BLUE) Water Colour

    $800.00 USD

    The SUB10KEF is a compact 10,000 lumens (93 CRI) wide angle video light with the patented ability to switch between a daylight colour (5600K), and ambient water colours for 6–13m or 13–20m.

    Patented Light Head

    With the patented specially designed light head and COB, It does not require any physical blue filters to achieve this specially tuned ambient water colour illumination. This allows the torch to be used at various depths and lighting conditions night or day. (Ambient blue is not required for night dives).


    Power Control Ring

    The SUBNOX SUB10KEF utilizes a large 11 step (0-10) magnetic power control ring ergonomically located at the rear of the torch. This allows for smooth, effortless and intuitive control over the brightness level.

    The rear mounted power control ring is designed for one handed use in a single motion over a 180 degree turn of the ring. It is designed for easy use even with thick gloves. No more reaching over your torch to press buttons, or fiddling with tiny control knobs. Just grab and twist!

    Light Colour Selector & Power Switch

    The rear knob below the LED display allows users to switch between the 3 light options:

    • 5600 Kelvin (Daylight)
    • Ambient Blue (6–13m)
    • Ambient Blue (13–20m)

    The button at the center of this knob functions as the master switch for powering the SUB10KEF On or Off.


    LED Display

    The rear mounted LED display shows the brightness level as you turn the power control ring.

    Once the brightness level is set, the display will default after 5 seconds to the remaining burn time (battery level in minutes) for the brightness intensity chosen. A simple 4 bar battery icon is also displayed for all settings.

    3 different LED indicators display the current colour settings. 5600K, Ambient Blue (6–13m), Ambient Blue (13–20m).

    USB-C Rechargeable Battery

    The Battery pack for the SUB10KEF utilizes a fast charging USB-C controller that allows the battery to be charged from 0–80% within 2 hours (full charge from empty requires 2 hours 45 minutes) and is rated at an air-travel safe 72Wh.

    Each battery pack provides enough power for 35 minutes of continuous use at maximum brightness for the 5600K light setting, or 1 hour at 70% brightness settings.

    The battery pack will last for 55 minutes at 100% brightness when used with the ambient water colour settings.

    For maximum charging speeds. Please use a high quality 40W USB-C charger (Not included). A high speed USB-A to USB-C cable is included.

  • Scientists Find New Evidence That South Korea’s Female Freedivers Evolved for a Life Underwater

    Scientists Find New Evidence That South Korea’s Female Freedivers Evolved for a Life Underwater


    Scientists Find New Evidence That South Korea’s Female Freedivers Evolved for a Life Underwater

    Haenyeo sing traditional songs before heading out to sea to harvest abalone, sea urchins, seaweed, and other seafood from the waters around Jeju Island, South Korea


    Scientists studying the DNA of the famous female freedivers of Jeju Island—the haenyeo—have discovered there are unique genetic differences that the women have evolved to cope with the physiological stress of freediving. Published in the scientific journal Cell Reports on May 2, 2025, the research was led by Melissa Ann Ilardo, a geneticist and assistant professor in biomedical informatics at the University of Utah.

    Ilardo and her colleagues recruited 30 haenyeo divers, 30 non-diving women from Jeju Island, and 31 women from the South Korean mainland for the study. The participants’ average age was 65. As well as sequencing their genomes from blood samples, the researchers compared their heart rates, blood pressure and spleen sizes. In order to simulate dives, participants held their breath while submerging their faces in cold water, stimulating the mammalian dive reflex. As a result, the heart rate slows, blood pressure increases and the spleen contracts.

    The analysis showed that the participants from Jeju—divers as well as non-divers—were more than four times more likely than the participants from the mainland to have a genetic variant associated with lower blood pressure. “Your blood pressure increases as you dive,” explains Ilardo. “Their [Jeju residents’] blood pressure increases less.” The scientists suggest that the genetic trait may have evolved to keep unborn babies safe—since the haenyeo dive throughout pregnancy, when high blood pressure can be dangerous.

    Previous research has linked cold and pain tolerance to another genetic variation, and this study revealed that the participants from Jeju were more likely to have this genetic variant. However, the researchers weren’t able to say with certainty whether the variant may be important for the haenyeo’s ability to dive throughout the year, since the participants’ ability to withstand low temperatures was not measured in the study.

    Genetics wasn’t the only factor to explain the haenyeo’s impressive diving capabilities. During the tests, the researchers also found a dramatic difference between the heart rates of the divers versus the non-divers. A reduced heart rate would help the haenyeo conserve oxygen during their dives. “Actually, their heart rate dropped about 50% more over the course of the dive than the control (participants),” says Ilardo. “We know that it’s because of training, because it’s something that we only saw in the haenyeo.”

    While much more work needs to be done, the research could potentially lead to the development of new drugs for lowering blood pressure.

  • David Attenborough Turns 99 and He Wants You to Fight for It

    David Attenborough Turns 99 and He Wants You to Fight for It



    May 8th is David Attenborough’s 99th birthday, and in his new documentary, Ocean, he’s marking the occasion with a veritable call to arms. “If we save the sea, we save our world,” says Sir David.

    Over the last seven decades, the beloved English presenter has made many films focused on our marine world, but this latest one is something different. Of course, there’s awe-inspiring cinematography aplenty, as you’d expect, but this time, the camera shows us the full extent of the tragedy occurring on the high seas today: The colorful reefs teeming with fish abruptly give way to vast deserts of broken, gray, lifeless coral—the aftermath of dragging huge nets along the ocean floor, killing everything in their path.

    “When I first saw the sea as a young boy, it was thought of as a vast wilderness to be tamed and mastered for the benefit of humanity,” says Attenborough in Ocean. “But now, as I approach the end of my life, we know the opposite is true.” Elsewhere, he admits: “After living for nearly 100 years on this planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land, but at sea.”

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5J7aP2FYH4


    While Sir David may have been criticized in the past for not doing enough to sound the alarm regarding the destruction of the natural world, in this documentary he doesn’t mince his words as he explains all the shocking ways we are harming our seas—with a particular emphasis on the blanket destruction caused by bottom trawling. Not only is he enraged that this practice is legal, but he’s also incensed by the fact that it is actively encouraged by governments through subsidies. “Three billion people rely on our ocean for food,” he points out in Ocean. “But ships sent by a few wealthy nations are starving coastal communities of the food source they have relied on for millennia. This is modern colonialism at sea.”

    Ultimately, though, Sir David is still hopeful. What he calls the “most remarkable discovery of all”—that the ocean can “recover faster than we had ever imagined”—has kept him from despair. He remembers a time, as a young man, when large-scale commercial whaling had all but wiped out our ocean’s largest inhabitants, but how—against all odds—a global powers bowed to public pressure and worked together to save the whales by enacting a moratorium on commercial whaling. In Ocean, he shows us places where conservation measures have been effective and marine life is thriving, and he’s optimistic about the global commitment to protect 30 percent of the world’s ocean by 2030, established at the 2022 UN Ocean Conference.

    At 99, Attenborough’s mellifluous voice is still strong: “It is my great hope that we all come to see the ocean, not as a dark and distant place with little relevance to our lives on land, but as the lifeblood of our home,” he says.

    Ocean is in cinemas from May 8th, and will stream on Disney+ on June 8th—UN World Oceans Day.

    SeaLife Announces SportDiver S Underwater Housing for Smartphones


    After the runaway success of their SportDiver Ultra housing, SeaLife Cameras has unveiled the SportDiver S, which offers a more-compact form factor along the lines of the original SportDiver. According to SeaLife, the new version of the housing offers compatibility with all current iPhone models, as well as all but the very largest Android smartphones.

    Depth-rated to 100 feet (30 meters)—a little less than the 130-feet (40-meter) rating of the Ultra version—the SportDiver S has similar controls and functionality to its bigger sibling. The housing features the same rectangular port used on the original SportDiver and the SportDiver Ultra, ensuring compatibility with accessories such as their six-inch Wide Angle Dome Lens and 52mm Wide-Angle Dome Lens (via their 67mm-52mm Lens Adapter)

    Like the Ultra, the “S” model boasts the Leak Avoidance System, which features a pre-dive pressure test to ensure the housing is properly sealed before entering the water. Should your waterproof seal be compromised, the system also includes a moisture sensor that activates an on-screen warning. Unlike the Ultra, the new model does not ship with a red color-correction filter. Filters—red, magenta, and yellow—must be purchased separately.

    Available now from retailers such as Backscatter, the SportDiver S costs $300—a full $100 less than the price of the Ultra model.

    SeaLife Unveils New SportDiver S Underwater Smartphone Housing

    MOORESTOWN, NJ – SeaLife has introduced the all-new SportDiver S, an underwater smartphone housing designed for divers & snorklers of all abilities. The new compact housing dives to a depth of 100 feet (30 meters) and offers several updates over the original SportDiver model, the new “S” version offers compatibility with all iPhone models including Max sizes, as well as many Android smartphones.

    Engineered for absolute reliability and ease of use, the SportDiver S allows divers and snorkelers to capture stunning photos and videos with their smartphones down to depths of 100 feet (30 meters). Constructed from premium polycarbonate, stainless steel, hard-anodized aluminum, and optical-grade glass, the housing weighs just 22.6 ounces pounds (641 grams) on land while offering almost neutral buoyancy in water, depending on the smartphone used.

    Ergonomically designed for comfortable handling and ease of use, the SportDiver S features a large shutter lever and rear control buttons, enabling effortless operation even while wearing dive gloves. Photographers can expand their creativity by utilizing advanced camera settings such as zoom control, exposure adjustment, auto/manual focus, white balance, lens selection, RAW+JPEG mode, and much more, depending on the phone model.

    The new housing works with the free SportDiver camera app, available for both Android and iOS platforms. The app when combined with the housing, turns a smartphone into a highly capable underwater camera, and easily switches between photo and video modes, harnessing the native camera technology of the smartphone to deliver the high-quality images and videos users have come to expect. Additionally, the app’s power-save mode temporarily turns off the camera and dims the display, conserving battery life while keeping instant accessibility with a single touch.

    The SportDiver S housing uses Bluetooth® Low Energy wireless technology, which automatically connects to the user’s smartphone when opening the SportDiver app. The free SportDiver app is compatible with iPhones and Android smartphones, which are available for free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store under the name “SportDiver”.  Unlike most other apps, the SportDiver app does not request your email address or personal information, ensuring your complete privacy.  The SportDiver housing features ultra-low power consumption, powered by two AAA batteries that last over 50 hours of continuous use.

    For enhanced imaging results, three optional removable underwater color-correction filters are available for purchase; Red for restoring natural underwater colors, Magenta for color correction of green water, or Yellow for deep blue water and fluorescent lights. The filters can be attached or removed while submerged and include a safety tether to prevent loss.

    SeaLife also offers optional lenses and a 52mm/67mm lens mount to further expand divers imaging creativity.

    Designed for added lights and versatility, the SportDiver S housing features three 1/4-20 tripod mount options, which allows it to be seamlessly mounted with any standard tripod-threaded light or light tray, such as SeaLife’s own Sea Dragon underwater photo/video lights. For best results, SeaLife recommends using an attached light source when diving with the SportDiver S.

    Ensuring maximum protection for the user’s smartphone, the SportDiver S incorporates a sturdy holding spring and rubber grip tabs that securely holds the smartphone in place, providing shock-protection for small and larger phone models.

    Protecting your valuable smartphone remains a top priority. A Leak Avoidance System features a pre-dive pressure test to ensure the housing is airtight and waterproof before entering the water. In addition to the pre-dive pressure test, an internal moisture sensor activates an on-screen warning in the unlikely event the waterproof seal is compromised.

    The SportDiver S features a new interior design that protects sensitive components and electronics from damage in the event water drops accidentally enter the housing when opening the door after diving. The anti-fogging “Moisture Muncher” capsule prevents fogging and internal condensation.

    The housing is sealed with a high-temperature resistant silicone O-ring seal and a robust cam-lock sealing latch, ensuring a secure, waterproof seal.  Extra O-rings and O-ring lubricant are included.

    To ensure compatibility, users should consult SeaLife’s “fit-guide” on the website (www.sealife-cameras.com/sportdiver-compatibility/) or simply scan the QR code provided to determine if their phone model will fit seamlessly into the SportDiver S housing.

  • Aquarium Builds Retirement Community for Penguins

    Aquarium Builds Retirement Community for Penguins


    By Joe Tepper, March 19, 2025 @ 05:00 PM (EST)
    Source: Boston.com


    It’s easy to dream about retiring to a private island. But the New England Aquarium is making that a reality for its lucky elderly penguin population.  

    The Boston-based aquarium has constructed a new “retirement island” dedicated to its geriatric African penguins. The birds, which range in age from 14 to 34, will receive more attention and care in the separate environment. Additionally, the newly built island boasts all the features the flippered friends may need as they age: flat areas for resting, mats for safety and ramps for mobility.

    “We think of this island like assisted living, where we’re helping the birds be more comfortable in a calmer environment,” Diana Major, the aquarium’s Manager of Penguins, told Boston.com.

    The New England Aquarium’s 150,000-gallon penguin exhibit is regarded as one of the best of its kind—spanning four stories as a centerpiece attraction in downtown Boston. Amazingly, more than half of the penguins have surpassed their expected life expectancy.

    Fortunately, it seems like these penguins have a nice nest egg.

  • Sony and Canon Tease Upcoming Camera Announcements

    Sony and Canon Tease Upcoming Camera Announcements



    Camera conspiracy theorists unite: Both Sony and Canon are teasing camera releases on March 26th with mysterious clues.

    Starting off with Sony, the company released a teaser-trailer-style clip of a veiled new camera model. There’s not much to go on, but eagle-eyed viewers have spied a button labeled “5” as well as a 3.5mm jack.

    Combined with the “Go small, shoot big” catch phrase, speculation centers on the announcement of a new cinema-style camera—something similar to the Sony FX6. Other guesses in the video comment section include a long-awaited update to the Sony a6700.

     


    For its part, Canon is also contributing to the rumor wheel with an Instagram post glimpse at two new camera models. Shrouded in shadow and only labeled with “V,” it seems likely that the cameras will fall into Canon’s new Powershot V1 “vlogging” compact cameras.

    Canon recently debuted the Powershot V1 at the CP+ show in Japan to much buzz. It’s a pivot in the company’s compact lineup with trendy vloggers in mind—featuring a 16–50mm equivalent f/2.8–4.5 lens and 4K/60p shooting mode.

    Set the countdown to March 26th…

  • Looking at Old Photos Makes Us Happier

    Looking at Old Photos Makes Us Happier



    If doomscrolling through social media has you down in the dumps, then your medicine may be only a snapshot away.

    Looking at old photos increases happiness and reduces anxiety according to a new study called “Frame of Mind.” Fujifilm teamed up with psychologist and mental health expert Dr. Lauren Cook to investigate the cognitive benefits of photography.

    “Photos act as emotional anchors, grounding us in moments of happiness and connection,” said Dr. Cook in a press release. “What we’ve found here is that taking a few minutes a day to look through our photos or snap some pics can be a great form of self-care and bring us more joy than things we’ve turned to in the past like shopping, reading, gardening or even journaling.”

    The notion that reminiscing over old images isn’t super surprising: But the specific data sets do reveal additional benefits including more smiles (64%), reduced anxiety (58%), and uplifted spirits (49%).

    Perhaps most significantly in this digital age, an astonishing 84% of survey takers reported increased satisfaction from choosing to view their old images rather than scrolling through social media apps.

    So next time you’ve got the Instagram ick or the Facebook flu, try flipping through some old photos instead—whether it’s of fish or friends.
