Pointer rod helpful?

[ronski101]

Next week will be our first time at Lembeh. I like to take pics and although my buoyancy control is not bad it is not perfect especially in current. I normally don't use a support during macro (an occasional finger as req'd) but for this unique type of diving am considering it to protect the critters in the volcanic sand and to keep particulate matter out of the pics and disturb it for others. Any suggestions or guidance?

If your finger is a foot long, or your buoyancy borders on the magical, you should do fine. For further enlightenment on the subject, and good entertainment, go here ...

The reef sticks were very helpful in Bunaken. But there was virtually no current in Lembeh. Good buoyancy skills and non-silting propulsion techniques are more than enough for Lembeh photography.
