A bit late to the party but I think these look very interesting. Many thanks @Kelvin_Wu for sharing your pictures and video - do you have more videos to share? Also thanks @minos2014 for starting the thread - do you also have some underwater videos to share showing their potential? Cheers, Mattis

@gkrane I've done RA on lobs and land-based, Komodo only land-based. I concur with the statements so far but would like to add that RA, or at least Dampier strait, seems to be getting more and more sharks. I've been 3 times, the first time when the MPAs had just been established. Then I say a...

Btw if you haven't done more diving than what your scubaboard profile says you might want to skip The Magnet. It can have some fierce currents and surge.

April should be a pretty good time for Nusa Tenggara/Komodo. It's the beginning of the dry season so probably a bit less crowded on the dive sites (anyone correct me if I'm wrong, never been in April). The further east you go the drier it gets too. The time frame would be pushing it for Alor -...

PC, You're very welcome. I was at work and actually missed the fact that you have a toddler with you. As much as it is wonderful, it does make traveling a bit more complicated. Having the dive sites nearby are of course a big advantage, and as pointed out by others, PG is probably your best...

PC, Just some quick input here. Dauin is supposedly the muck mecca of the Philippines. I haven't been, but you could do Moalboal and then head over to Dauin for a few days. I don't know if there's boats from Moalboal to Negros but Cebu/the region is very easy to get around. As for Palawan, I...

I apologize for being discouraging, but those lamps will not work. They are not floodlights, ie they have a focused beam that will create a hot spot and render the video unusable. Believe me, I've gone through the frustrating process of realizing the limited supply of cheap video lamps. I'd be...

PS. The lamps linked above also come in 5k lumen (again, a gross overstatement of actual output). I also bought these and returned them. Neither lamp have a switch but is turned on by turning the back lid. This was nearly impossible with the larger version and I had to use pliers to turn them...

Great prices, but don't you think it will be too little light? 300 lumen is quite low, even if you have two of them. I own two of these as well: Underwater 2000lm Cree XM-L2 Scuba Diving Dive Photography Video LED Flashlight | eBay Note that they are NOT 2000 lumen, but more like 700 or so. I...

You should contact Hi-max directly through their website, shipping should be something like $35 (for two, small but quite heavy boxes). They are very service minded, even uses whatsapp. The first link seems to be broken unfortunately. As for the second, the price is good but it's only 900...

I might add that I own a red filter (came with the meikon housing) but haven't used it. I can't really figure out whether filters or ex post correction is better (for me). I do recommend the dome though. The thread for screwing it on in the water seems somewhat low quality but the optics seems...

Trevligt! Yes the kit lens does achieve surprisingly good results, and it is convenient to be able to go from 16 mm to (if the dome is removed; fine since it's a wet lens) to about 65 mm (roughly 30% magnification) in a single dive. I've done relatively little post processing on the macro...

Hey Ashantiashanti, Thank you! Learning by doing... Would love to hear from you experience, if you decide to get the 19 or not. I might beat you to it, but probably won't be able to go on any diving holidays within the next 4-5 months unfortunately. Both the scorpion and crocodile fish you...

Ashantiashanti, Lars, I might fill in with my limited experience here. I've so far only used the kit lens uw, but own the Sigma 30 2.8 and plan to get the 19. I've read that others have been disappointed in the 19 for uw use but I'm hopeful given the results above water with the 30. I mainly...

Just got the HD HERO2 delivered from kpdivers - thank you! I can vouch for him as a very professional seller as well as great man to deal with. Also at this price even an ebay auction would have a hard time beating the deal. Cheers, Matt

kpdivers, Do you still have any more available? Cheers, Matt
