    Is the 17th july till the 1st Aug too late for the Sardine Run?

    Hi all, I am desperate to get in on a Sardine Run trip without spending to much. There is an opening from the 17th July till the 1st of Aug... is this far too late? As I know, the run lasts between beginning June till end Aug. I really don't want to be there and have missed it all. Am I taking...

    Inon 45 degree viewfinder

    I have used one for a while.... if you find the 60 hard, try it with a 105VR and diopter! I am fairly competent now with it.... I find if you frame your shots a little further then move in it helps a lot.... no problems at all for WA too... its the hunting with the 105 that I hate... I once took...

    Housing for Nikon d200??

    I would look into Nexus housings too. They offer fiber optic connections which means you get TTL without all the expensive converters and sync cables. I honestly would not house a D200. I would even consider getting a second hand d300 body if I were you and housing that. The cost of housing a...

    What's your choice for Lembeh between 60mm & 100mm?

    60.... many of the critters will let you get in close. The 60 is far more versatile, easier to use in a current, simpler to frame your shots. I use the 100 when I want to do supermacro in addition to diopters.

    Equipment Questions

    I used to tether my camera to my wrist or D ring when I first started out. These days, I simply have a clip ready to clip it on my Dring if I need both hands for something. There should be generally no need for attaching it all the time unless your rig is significantly negative or positive...

    Dive shop in Sharm?

    I was wondering if anyone has the contact details of a good dive shop in Sharm. I would like to buy a 1-2 (or 3)mil hooded vest when I get there but would like to call in advance. I know there are perhaps only 1 or 2 decent shops downtown.... Hmmm...sorry for the bold font...it was a cut and...

    New 3mil or 5mil fullsuit for 29th March till 3rd April?

    Thanks guys. Awesome website Samaka! I will be bookmarking it and directing my friends to it... Made a few clicks too ;) Sad to hear that I will be needing the 5 mil....I am convinced though that my 3 mil Merino is almost as warm as the 5.... I will probably bring both to try anyway... Kay Burn

    New 3mil or 5mil fullsuit for 29th March till 3rd April?

    Hi all, I will be in Sharm for the above dates. Just wondering if I can get away with a new 3 mil fullsuit or if it is too cold? I have one of those Pinnacle Merino lining 3 mils suits which is still quite new and not so compressed. I really hate using anything more than that but I don't like...

    Carry-on Or Check

    I hand carry all my camera gear and housing. As I usually travel with my partner (dive buddy or wife), I max things out as much as I can. If I am limited to just one bag, I bring enough to ensure a macro or WA camera rig and check the rest (with the exception of lenses). I handcarry stuff in the...
