A few more pics. Too much to post but gives an idea.

Having been to the Philippines and Indonesia several times, I was looking for a new destination to provide something new and Romblon certainly delivered on this. In short, the macro and supermacro was amazing! Getting to this island isn’t the easiest when compared to other islands, as flights...

Ambon is one of my favourite places, with world class macro and some fantastic reef diving with comes laden with quality macro also. Although bigger stuff like hammers and whalesharks are around, they are uncommon, but some of the reefs around the outer islands e.g. Lease islands are top notch...

I can recommend twofish lembongan as a good operator. I think the management of lots of their branches have changed and I think standards may have been affected. That said we enjoyed twofish on lembongan. For diving there in October you will probably see mola. Mantas are hot or miss with the...

It is great to hear that the antics in the past aren't being reproduced and I am sure this stuff is isolated to a few things. I am only reporting what I have experienced myself or from what friends have told me. The times I have seen them underwater they were professional. And they get good...

Not on Flickr but my photos are all on Facebook. I can add u - just request me (profile pic is a psychadelic frogfish lol). All my photos there

Yes I tend to shoot macro and manta rays in planktonic water don't always make the best photos but I put a nice little video together of clips of mantas but file size is too big. It's on fb though. Regarding larger stuff yes there are jacks grouper napoleons manta reef sharks morays sea snakes...

I am pretty sure it was fresh water. A boat comes in daily carrying large volumes of water I think i was told. Cold water of course.

Wetpup, Without stirring the pot, it basically revolves around the moving of psychadelic frogfish. Transporting them to a location that they knew, hiding it away in artificial creations, not sharing any information with anyone bar their own guests or special guests. I can understand why dive...

Trip report summary: DIA 12 nights So this was the second time to Ambon, and the second time we have dived with Kaj and Barb who runs Dive into Ambon. The dive shop was originally situated at the Natsepa Hotel which was where we were based previously and i have already reviewed the trip there...

This trip report is long overdue but i thought i would share some reflections and experiences from this trip, slightly summarised. So the trip was started with Qatar airlines from Manchester to Jakarta, with an overnight stay at our usual place FM7 (the food there is amazing and is close to the...

Have you had any issues with overheating with the 90mm lens or in any housing with the Sony A6300 Phil?

Yes I think u will go for the oly omde1 with nauticam housing and 60mm lens with flip diopter and wet lens. I have one strobe already.

Thanks. I had ruled out the em 1 as the MP was only 16 and my compact 12 MP but I understand that I needed to crop a lot with my compact so lost some detail where as I assume with the em 1 and a 60mm lens the need for crop should be less.

Ok thanks. I will look at the a7s. I am leaning towards the a6300 with Sony 90mm lens but i may end up spending a little more if go with nauticam housing. I like the 4K footage as well. I agree MP is not everything. Would love the Nikon 810 but so pricey for everything. Decision decisions

The sensor is quite small though, only 12MP which is the same as my compact. Do you mean the A7R??

Thanks guys that's great.

Thanks so much, I will do that and see what people add. Will check your pics as well

Hi, I am upgrading my setup from a canon s95 which becomes my backup. I loved this camera and it yielded quality images with wet lens and strobe. I am looking to spend Max £2.5k for a setup. Ideally nauticam housing but ikelite would do. I have people saying the Sony a6300 with 90mm lens is...
