One other thing- the filter thread size of the Olympus PT-056 Housing is 52mm. I am aware I will need a step up ring as most lenses are 67mm like this one Olympus PSUR-03 52-67mm Step-Up Ring 260606 B&H Photo Video

The microscope mode is not sufficient for clear details on rhinophores, gill, etc

Hi- I have an Olympus TG4 with PT-056 Waterproof Housing. I am looking for a 105mm lens. The only lens I can find is a 67mm which is not strong enough to shoot the tiny critters. I want the ability to shoot tiny opisthobranch species as small as 2mm. Any advice on stronger lenses that would...

Does anyone have experience diving Cocos Island in October? Were schools of hammerheads present? How does La Nina affect the sharks at Cocos? I am considering going this year on the Okeanos Aggressor. They are offering a good deal on a spot they have available. My main concern is that it will...

Hi, I'm going to Fiji in October. Does anyone know of any good macro diving spots? I'm into nudibranchs. I've been to Lembeh Strait, Wainilu in Komodo, Sipadan, etc. I haven't booked a place to stay yet and am flexible to go to any area/island. Thank you!

Hi, I am planning a trip to Sipadan/Mabul. Does anyone have recommendations for a guide who specializes in macro? I'm looking to shoot nudibranchs, cowries, flatworms etc. I haven't decided on where to stay because I want to find the best guide first. Thank you!

He is already booked with a client at that time. Sorry about that. Enjoy Bali!

Can you send me the dates you're looking at diving? I'm not sure if it will work so last minute but I can check.

I'm meeting up with my good friend (and dive guide) in Labuan Bajo in January 2014. We are looking to dive South Komodo (Cannibal Rock, Torpedo Alley, etc) to shoot macro for a few days. We are on a budget and do not want to join a large LOB. My friend used to work as a guide in Komodo so we...

Alcina, I know a great private guide based in Indoensia who has worked with the best photographers including Alex Mustard, Stephen Frink, Anna and Ned DeLoach. What dates are you looking at?

Again, thank you for the info! What is the security situation there now? (I would fly into Tauwa, drive to Seporna, and then take a boat over to Mabul) How safe is it for a single traveler?

Thank you for all the advice! Any recommendations on places to stay/dive operators for Sipadan? (other than Seaventures)

yes and no... I've saved up for this trip for years. I quit my job (corporate America is overrated) and am going on a journey through Indonesia and SE Asia. For the first time, I am not limited by vacation time, so I can actually venture farther than the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Hawaii etc. I want...

Lahaina Divers will limit your dives to 65 ft for 35 minutes and 60 feet for 30 minutes. Doesn't depend on the site, divers experience, etc. I surfaced with 1500 psi and plenty of no-deco time on my computer multiple times because of the dive times. I talked to the dive guides and they finally...

Thank you for the responses. Any thoughts on CN Dive or Dive Komodo? I am looking at their 3-4 day safaris. Who does Hila Jansen work for/with?

Thanks for the responses! I'm not a beginner diver but definitely a beginner photographer. I bought a simple point and shoot (Sealife DC1200) and have been having some real problems with it considering it won't let me switch it to manual mode. I should have done more research before buying a...

Does anyone know the current condition of the reefs at Sipadan? I am diving Raja Ampat, Bunaken, Lembeh Strait, and Komodo in September-October. Is it worth it to add Sipadan? I don't want to miss out on an awesome dive area considering I live on the other half of the world but also don't want...

Does anyone have recommendations on a reputable PADI certified dive shop in Labuanbajo that runs 3-4 day/night trips to Komodo? I am on a budget. Safety is most important to me (I have read the horror stories of people getting lost and picked up by other boats or washed up on shore. I definitely...
