The zoom/focus knob on my EP-08 housing is missing. It abandoned me some where in the SPacific on only my 3d dive trip with it. I have gotten no where with Olympus repair (Precision Camera) for getting the part, they want me to send in the housing for an overhaul. The dealer was not able to even...

So here I am pleasantly diving on Bonaire and my Olympus EP-08 housing for an EM-5 camera won't let the housing dial turn the camera on or off, it just slips when you twist the knob. Happened twice before on last trip but then worked. However after replacing the battery just now I can NOT get it...

So I am happily shooting an EM-5 in an Oly EP08 housing. I have the 14-42mm lens because it came with it. I can't say I am thrilled with it's performance (edges often not as sharp as center), but the zoom range (w/ the zoom ring) is of course useful. Does someone have a better moderate zoom lens...

Tried a search and I know this is beyond a long shot but...Given that the Oly 14-42mm IIR kit lens is so-so, I see reviews that talk about how much better the Lumix 14-45mm G lens is. Any chance there is a way to use this lens in Olympus housings, any zoom gear available? Opinions on the 14-45mm...

I use a SubSee +5 & +10 w/ a dual hinge on my current setup (a G-12) and figured to upgrade and do the same with an E-M5 in an Oly housing. I would love to use the 60mm f/2.8 Oly macro lens but I wonder--can you use the +10 SubSee to any practical degree uw with the Oly macro lens? I'm thinking...

Yipes, just finished a dawn dive on the Liberty wreck (Tulamben) and that'll be the last one. 3 years ago it was placid and serene. I think now they must be doing large group checkout dives for newbies and obnoxious photogs at that hour. Unbelieveably bad behavior shown towards the Bumps from...

Anyone know current or recent ocean temps and conditions in Tulamben? We're there next week and while I assume conditions will be perfect it's nice to know how perfect! Staying at LDR but only for 15 days before decompressing in Ubud. (Tried to get Uji for our guide but they kept saying...

We're back in Anilao soon, anyone have an idea of current average water temps., viz and/or weather? Thanks! // ww

Just a short but very positive review of our stay at Black Sand Dive Resort on Lembeh strait. We were there for only 5 nights (Nov.20-25) but had a most enjoyable stay. It was our second time in Lembeh and if anything, more critterful than when we were there March, 2012. We over-nighted in...

Just back from an Anilao, Philippines UW photography workshop (May 6-16, 2012) given by Scott Gietler and crew from UW Photographer's Guide & Blue Water Photo. It was held at Crystal Blue Resort in Anilao and the whole thing was great. Well organised, good blend of instruction, plenty of help...

Here are some Lembeh thoughts from a March 2012 trip. We stayed at NAD Resort on Lembeh Island for 2 weeks, never having been to Lembeh before. (Prior Indonesian experience: a couple dive trips to Bali and one to Raja Ampat.) So, chock full of personal opinion, here is what passes for my Lembeh...

Woohoo, in the middle of a 2 wk stay at NAD in Lembeh for first time. Can't say enough good things about how Simon & Crew run this place. Too bad more resorts don't follow their approach. Friendly, flexible (it's "What do YOU want?" not "This is how we do it here"), excellent guides, good tank...

Anyone been using the Dyron 20mm WA wet lens on an S-95? I'm now taking along an S-95 in a Canon housing as a backup outfit (you do not want to hear about my soggy G-10 from the last trip) and figured some modest WA capability for it would be nice. Of course Inon and others have decent WA's and...

Heading for Bali in a week. One of the group asked about current water temps and/or dive conditions. Anyone been in the water lately? Thanx. // ww

We're doing a week at Black Sand in Lembeh in October this year then 5 or 6 days in Bunaken (maybe Two Fish?). In between I'm thinking of a week for Bangka. I can find very little info on Bangka Lagoon Resort--anyone stayed there or seen any reviews etc.? Thanks. // ww

Pleasant dilemma. I'm trying to figure a route to Sorong to catch a liveaboard next spring. We'll leave from west coast of US (SFO probably) and with reasonable efficiency would like to dive 4-5 days days enroute to Sorong. Last year we flew into Bali, dove Tulamben then did a...
