Would anyone have discovered a DIY solution to loose threads? My aluminum Patima housing can't keep its 67mm thread tight enough on my macros lens. I tried using lockthread and it worked for quite some time until I decided to remove the adapter (67 mm for AD lens) to accommodate regular 67mm...
HI,
I was there last week while Metro Manila was flooded and had a great time. I would recommend Divelink, Home Page | DivelinkCebu owner's name is Gary. He can hook you up with Slam next door for accommodation.
In my S95 Ike case the controls do not efficiently touch the buttons so what I did was to increase the reach by inserting thin inner tube paddings inside the control button rubber tips
Before you commit to the resort mentioned in Sabang, talk to Mark at Seariderdivingcenter at Small laguna next to Asia. You might be in for a bit of a surprise with his rates and personalized attention. I always have a minimum 60 minutes dive with him and regardless of how many divers I pay the...
I met a couple of foreign divers who took it upon themselves to take the public bus from Manila to Batangas costing less than 200 persos, jeepney from bus terminal to Mabini less than 50 pesos, and here's the clincher: 300 pesos from Mabini to the resort by tricycle. The bike driver will first...
A bit off the subject but if it's any consolation, I've been using the S95 on both Ikelite and Patima housing and use different macro and wide angle lens utilizing the built in 67mm thread of both ports. I can do this for a good number of years more without upgrading my camera at all.
Fun Divers used to be the dive op for the resort but forsome reason the owners set up another dive op right next to Fun Divers. Now that Secret Bay is kind of rough not too many divers around lately and the two dive ops are gathering cobwebs.
The rooms and amenities are good but if you're not into Korean food, avoid them. There's a nice hole in the wall eatery next to the dive shop fronting Secret Bay, the chef used to work for a resort and serves good dishes.
I regularly go daytrip Saturdays but I go via the other route which is 2 km shorter and making my destination the 2nd dive resort to hit. If you want to try Planet, let me know. I normally leave 6 a.m. and home before 10 p.m. with 3-4 dives for the day.
I use both Patima and Ikelite housing for my S95 and sometimes use 3 stacked Inon Ul165 lens; no problem setting at 1/500 , f8, ISO 80.Now one of the lens have fogged inside, any tips how to disassemble and clean?
(Boss Mark, paano mo ako na singit dito? Anyway. tama ka. )
A new alternative frequented right in front of muck site called Secret Bay is just along the shore. You can rent a cottage for 1,500 pesos overnight, a great place to eat by the owner called divers pod and dive shop right beside. Shore...
