Sorry mate, yea I understood that. That's part of the problem too, basically having the critter touching the lens haha

Thanks I guess that's the problem, I'm right up against those tiny critters when i'm taking shots. Was just wondering if there was any way to increase the magnification as that's about as good as I can get at full zoom at present. If there's no work around i'll just keep doing what I'm doing...

Hi Everyone Does anyone have any experience using a Macro wet lens with a TG6/TG5? I'm trying to get a little more magnification from my set up for critters like Skeleton Shrimp, Nudi's and Crinoid Shrimp etc. The article below makes mention of using a UCL-900 with a TG5, and has some pretty...

I've only got a small one bedroom apartment up here so probably not enough room haha. More than happy to show you around though if you make it to Port Moresby. Some good diving here out on Nateara Reef, particularly for interesting critters and a couple good wrecks plus some good land excursions...

Depends what you're looking for mate. If you want a cheap diving holiday then go to Bali. If you want an exceptional diving holiday plus a real travel experience that you'll never forget then come to PNG. The diverse culture and history alone make it worth the trip and the diving here is the...

No worries mate If you could post the info that would be great. Sent a few emails to the organisers with no response. There's a lot of expats in POM hanging to get out for a few days once the domestic travel is a little more reliable so hopefully you get a few heading your way.

Welcome mate! Do you know if the mask festival is still planning on happening in Kokopo in July? Was looking at coming over for it and doing a few days diving with you guys as well. I'm based in Port Moresby so no issue getting there with the international restrictions at present.

Can vouch for Rabaul/Kokopo as being an amazing destination. Excellent diving with plenty of variety. Heaps to do out of the water with volcano hikes and lots of WW2 history. Super safe and the people are very friendly.

Hi All Has any one had any experience with the UWL-09 wide angle lens on a TG5/6, preferably in a Seafrogs case. Looking at wide angle solutions and tossing up between the UWL-400/Backscatter M52 & UWL-09. The main reason I am looking at the UWL-09 is to future proof myself should I decide to...

Thanks everyone for your help. After more research i'm going to get the seafrogs housing for the A6500, the 16-50, a strobe set up and macro diopter to start. I've been having dramas with the RX100 lens malfunctioning occasionally when on a dive so will just upgrade everything to the A6500. Will...

Anyone have experience with using two of these for wide angle with a compact or APS-C camera? Any image samples? Definitely considering these due to the snoot option. Other option would be one of these with a snoot + a larger strobe with higher power and beam angle for better fill in wide angle

Hi All Hope everyone is staying safe with all that is going on in the world at present. I've moved to PNG a year ago and now have the luxury of diving great reefs every weekend. As part of this I bought along my old (6 years) clear ikelite case and RX100. I've been getting very much into...

Hi Guys Thanks heaps for the replies, much appreciated. Only just joined this forum and am pleasantly surprised with the quick responses and honest opinions. If the reliability issues really are that bad then I won't bother with the SS2. Being in PNG I have to make sure my gear is pretty tough...

Hi All Anyone using the SS2 Symbiosis strobes? Looking for some opinions or user reviews. Had a look in the forums but those posts are a few years old now so hoping there are some more recent users. I have been shooting strobeless with an RX100 for a couple years now with decent results...
