    GH5 - Mantas of South Ari Atoll, Maldives

    Went looking for whalesharks... no luck there, but we saw plenty of playful mantas! Apart from the beginning, the mantas are at 2:45 as well. Cheers, Matt

    Dugong 4K GH5

    After many attempts, I finally saw a dugong in the Red Sea: No-one knows for sure how many are left in the Red Sea, but probably very few. There don't seem to have been any sightings of juveniles for years, and this one has clearly suffered some sort of injury on its side. Matt

    Sun Island Resort, South Ari Atoll

    Hi, I'm heading to Sun Island in South Ari atoll next month, hoping to see a whaleshark, finally. Does anyone have any experience of this resort? I had a fairly helpful e-mail from the dive centre already with prices etc (ouch!), but I was just wondering if there was anyone on here who could...

    Palau GH5

    At the beginning of this year I went back to Palau, again - I love that place! I was on the Ocean Hunter III liveaboard, and spent an extra night at either end of the cruise at the Palau Royal Resort. Here are some of the highlights from the 32 dives I did: First time using the GH5 in the...

    Palau - short video

    Here's a(nother!) short video from Palau. I just love that place, especially when the sun is shining all week, like this time. All filmed on a hacked Panasonic GH2, in a 10 Bar housing. Cheers, Matt

    Running and diving

    Not sure if this is the right part of the forum, but here goes. I'm a keen runner (about 40km/25 miles a week), and I'm in shape for a half marathon at the beginning of October. The problem is that I'm about to spend just over 2 weeks in a resort in the Maldives (yeah, OK not much of a "problem"...

    Palau video

    Palau, one of the most amazing (and expensive) places to dive.... but it can still pour down with rain for a week! Anyway, here's 8 minutes or so of the highlights. Pana GH2, hack: 50 Mbps, GOP 3, 720/50p, edited in Sony Vegas MS 13. Cheers, Matt https://vimeo.com/92704941

    Palau video

    Hi, this video will give you an idea of what diving is like in Palau when the conditions are really bad! (Jan. 2014). I've never experienced such dark conditions during day dives but, for me, it's definitely a year-round destination, and definitely better by liveaboard. Cheers, Matt...

    Maldives Kuramathi video

    Hi, I've just uploaded a short clip showing some of the dives I did during a family holiday to Kuramathi in the Maldives. http://vimeo.com/74906163 I think I've finally got the hang of manual white balance with the Panasonic GH2; most of the clips are basically straight out of the camera...

    Panasonic GH2 10 Bar housing test

    Hi, I finally got around to doing some testing of my GH2/10 Bar housing. Manual white balance using ambient light was disappointing.... but with very basic quick grading in Vegas the colours seem to be pretty good. PZ 14-42 behind flat port and red filter was plenty wide enough for me. I...

    More from Palau

    Hi, I've uploaded a short video of a recent trip to Palau here: https://vimeo.com/57367956 It was so hard cutting it down to below 6 minutes! Probably my last underwater video on my old Sony PDX10. If all goes according to plan, the next one will be filmed on my Panasonic GH2. Cheers, Matthew

    Panasonic GH2 white balance question

    Hi, I'm just about to place an order for the Nauticam housing for my GH2 (hacked, 42Mbps, GOP 3, 14-42 PZ "x" lens). I've had the camera for a few months now, and I don't see any reason why I wouldn't be able to get a good manual white balance in clear tropical water down to 20+m with a red...

    Diving on the Zenobia, Cyprus

    Hi, here's a short video of a wreck called the Zenobia, near Larnaca, Cyprus. It's a large wreck, and it's good to see that there's quite a bit of marine life on it. https://vimeo.com/45744923 Matthew
