Not difficult... The operators can help you work that out... At least critters@lembeh was happy to make all the arrangements for us with Murex (but they are family ;) )... Anyway, years ago, we dived with NAD and 2Fish@Bunaken in 1 trip and the NAD managers helped to coordinate (make calls etc)...

Visited Raja Ampat late nov-early dec 2011, was mostly macro, nice coral gardens, was great for mantas and wobbegong sharks and very little crowd, very nice resort... Visited Palau late Mar-early apr 2012 - lots of reef sharks - white-tip and grey but didn't get lucky with mantas, more crowded...

Thanks! Was a G9 user, so was a little disappointed by the lack of custom WB after 9-10m! But the focusing speed of XZ-1 is faster. :-) Yup, that is what I do too - shoot in raw for the wide-angle... But my netbook is a little slowwwww, so didn't enjoy processing the raw files... :p

Have been trying to figure why I can't do custom white-balance on the XZ-1 after 9-10meters... Anyone else has the problem?

Haven't been to MER, read that they have a wonderful conservation program... Raja4Divers is a really nice resort - btw, no a/c in rooms (bungalow) in case u might miss that, the camera room has a/c tho... They saw a dugong at their house-reef 3+ weeks ago... ;) Since u have been on a...

Nice photos, Wisnu! We had lots of surge during our dive at Sahaung (and other dive sites -late Dec 2012). Sahaung was our favourite dive site at Bangka too. Did you see the baby sharks under the large table corals?
