Im considering a GX7 for primarily video, but with ability to take stills. Whilst the GH4 is the camera of the moment, I'm not sure I'm going to get all the benefits for the extra bucks, so the GX7 seems the next best thing. I was also looking at the oly 12-50 lens due to its Macro switch...

LL and I had started some dialogue by email, and was showing signs that they were taking on board what had been posted, so I was going to close out on here, and deal directly. However in light of the fact that they have made at least one post under a false name (that of the girl who was actually...

Which ton are you

go back to why Exotic was brought into this Exotic gearing up area is cleaner than LL, at the time of my visits to both both places. So just because you are on an island doesn't mean the place cant be clean and tidy. i could have posted pictures of Pulau Weh, but they would be similar to...

:no:..this is the village next to Exotic, this makes even Gapang look industrialised........

Actually you can!! Go to Malapasqua and dive with Exotic, they are similarly remote, and even tho the restaurant itself is just sand with no floor, the dive shop and gear area is pretty much pristine compared to here, and cleaned regularly. Seems far too many people accept the argument, well...

we checked out three days after the incident. The package we had signed up for included Two boats dives per day plus accommodation. As mentioned the last two days were only shore dives, and so we asked that the bill be reduced according to the price for shore dive vs Boat dive. This put the shop...

Sorry but im stating the facts as they happened. I dive all over indonesia myself, and so do my friends, i would really like this not to be true, because the diving there was great, and i would like to go back. I have posted this on a few dive forums, and its rather strange how people with...

Might want to read my thread on this resort, as what you are saying supports my version. I was there 24th April to 1st May, were you there for the boat fire? I cant comment on the tanks, I didn’t check them, wish I had now. What did make me smile was a set of twin tanks is saw sat in...

As per my other post it has been reported to DAN, and also to PADI. Padi advised they werent sure what action they can take as it isn't a PADI resort. however i sent them photos showing the PADI logo on the board with the resort name on, which is outside. also the owners proudly display their...

Yes, and they are taking action

Recently went on a trip with some friends to the above dive resort. On the first day one of our group noted early on that there was someone smoking in the compressor room, and also outside the compressor room, and the whole equipment area smelt heavily of smoke. The compressor room had two...

If its aluminium, and bolt on, could i suggest you also have a thread to accept wet screw on lens, this wouls also allow red lens screw on too ;)

But they said the LCD would be out about 12 months before it was!!! The loose latch at depth is a little troubling, the fiddler in me wanted to open it :) I ordered from Mako with the lens so shipping and lens cost was very good, free :D I think the Go pro range is going to evolve and...

Its good that you have learned from the experience, would have to be someone with a short memory to admit they had never done something similar early in their dive career. More training never hurts, and despite what you may feel about it, technical training at the base level gives a good...

thnaks for all the repsonses, have had a bit more reading around an dpicked a SP350 this week complete with the pt30 housing. My sea and sea tray also fits nicely (better than it did on the old sony housing), so its off for a try out this weekend

Any nitrox mix is narcotic to some degree, you just dont realise how much until you tried Trimix (ok i sound a bit smug here). I hav efound that ultimately it is your stress level which determines how narced you are, or when you (or your buddies) realise how narced you are.

until you've dived trimix with a buddy without helium you dont fully understand the difference. its like being the designated driver, your waving its time to turn and they dont even know your there

Urban legend i think due to the high O2 content and Ti problem, maybe a job for myth busters Ferralium or Hastalloy B might be nice for tanks, definite geek value, but the strength is not as good as Chr mo and so steel tanks are here for a while yet i tink:shakehead

Watch out for the Foosahs
