Hi Wiggsy, thank's for your reply. Yes I stayed at Gangga Island Resort and Siladen Island Resort and Spa but that was in 2009. This summer I stayed at Kalinaun and at a resort right on Bunaken. Anyhow I would rate Gangga and Siladen as equal. Siladen has the nicest bungalows (the seaview ones)...

Hi everybody! I am sorry for hijacking this thread :shakehead: but I guess you people know more about these places than I do and there doesn't seem to be a better place than Atmosphere resort? My non-diving wife and myself have been to Bali several times and also all over North-Sulawesi...

Hi Malene, Congratulations for finding North Sulawesi best kept secret :blinking: In 2009 I stayed at Gangga Island, Kungkungan and Siladen Resort. There I had heard about Kalinaun and made a note in my logbook. So when I went back to North Sulawesi this summerI was looking for a place which...

Hi everybody, I was in Amed during the "clam accident". What my diveguide told me is that the "snorkeler" was a free diver who went down to 29m. He then slowly climbed up the wall in order not to resurface too quickly. His hand then got caught in the clam. Rumor says that they found him with...

Hi, I was in the same situation :confused:. Couldn't decide between xz-1, E-Pl2 and LX 5. Just this saturday I got lucky and could look at both Olympus underwater housings and cameras in a store. The xz-1 housing seems fine (I come from a small point and shoot) but the E-Pl2 housing was too...

You mean something like this? :D Got this with a Panasonic Lumix Fx01 and a foto light by mb sub. Simple point and shoot. No wet lenses... and now I am in an upgrade dilemma :dontknow: Which camera makes better macro pictures unless I invest a huge amount in a DSLR system... Greetings, Daniel

Dear Phil, That's really interesting. I hope you will show us some results by posting some pictures from the different cameras and letting us know how they handle. I am interested in all the models. Whereas the Sony seems to be the best unfortunately it of course is the most expensive setup...

Hi Al, unfotunately in Germany your video isn't playable since you apparently used music which belongs to Sony Music :depressed: just thought I'd let you know. It's a pity because I'd love to see it. Greetings from Germany Daniel

Hi Jun Lao Thank's a lot! Great vid and pictures! Looks tempting.... Daniel

Dear Jun Lao, Thank's a lot for posting your video. Unfortunately the music you used in the clip isn't allowed on youtube in Germany. So people in Germany cannot see your clip. I thought you should know. Of course I am curious to see how the camera performs in real life. Any chance you could...

Dear Frank, Thank's for posting your pics. Did you use the Macroadapter with a closeup lens for the first pic or is that a normal closeup picture with the kit lens? Daniel

Hi! Thank's for posting the pic! One more question to your Makro Lens: I know that the minimum focus distance with the kit lens is 10-25 cm (new or older version) Is that changed through the Epoque makro lens? How close can you actually get to the subject while still being able to focus...

Hi everybody! I am facing a similar problem :confused:I want to upgrade from my compact camera (Lumix fx01 plus mb sub foto-light)which has worked quite well for macro in the past. A European dealer warned me though that the combo kit lens + e-pl 2 wouldn't be that much better :dontknow: for...

Hi everybody, I've been a passive reader so far but one topic really troubles me. A few years ago there apparently have been plans to build a gold mine in North Sulawesi. These plans haven't been successful. According to some German Forums though, permition for the mine has now been granted...
