I would say it's well worth the trip, esp. the relatively easy trip you have from Cal. Non-stop from LAX. I remember being blown away on my trip on the Nai'a liveaboard, and thinking Coz would not cut it anymore, but when I returned to Coz I wasn't disappointed at all. It's just different...

Fly into Denpasar - DPS Bali. From there you can find lot's of great diving (I understand). I have passed through on my way to Komodo twice, and I have an itch to go to Bali next trip. I would start with Tulamben (Macro!) and (maybe?) pick one more not too distant location like Nusa...

My quest to upgrade my system has been sidelined by another expensive hobby-project, but this looks like another nice offering from Panasonic! LUMIX GX85 4K Mirrorless DSLM Camera Kit - 12-32mm Lens - Panasonic US Panasonic GX85 Review: Now Shooting! Small but mighty: hands on with the Panasonic...

Unfortunately, no- I didn't even try. I'm still shooting my E-PL1 setup, as I have dumped all of my hobby-money into a completely different project (building a kit car). I still think it will work somehow, though.

I was there last April, for a trip on the Komodo Dancer; On the 6th, our flight from DPS to LBJ was not able to land due to weather, and had to return to DPS. New flight early on the 7th, arrived OK in light rain. By the time we got to the harbor it was getting ugly- but the guys in the tender...

Like I wrote- it's part of the design of the seal assembly, and it's relevant at any delta-P. Too high a durometer can lead to damaged parts during assembly or service. The compliance is a factor as well. Water can be tough to seal, and it will even permeate many materials. I've seen water...

Durometer is a factor in proper seal design. Higher duro = greater force required to compress (insertion force in this case), less compliance, and less elasticity. What are your impressions of the parts and the fit & feel of the installation?

What material and durometer are you using?

Sold or still available?

Maybe training for the upcoming Olympic Games?? 'talk about a "mess"...

'any plans yet? I'm always interested in last-minute adventures!

I would contact Aquamarine Dive Bali. In April, I/they booked my entire Komodo Dancer trip 1 day before departure- and it was a great deal! *It seems with Cathay that days ahead is more available than months for FF seats. Have fun wherever you go!

Great deal for someone starting out or more. I have shot thousands of pictures with this same setup (+2 ebay strobes) , and while I do sometimes want to "upgrade" (mostly for better video) I just can't spend the $$ to do it.Any pictures after 2011 are with my E-PL1, here are 2...

What you got?

Thanks for the replies- good info and good news. Luko's plan looks good (save the putting of my wife on 2 wheels!), and thanks for the detailed suggestions. 'Any experience with yoga options in the areas? I wish more than7-8 nights was possible, but this would be an add-on to a business trip...

Looking for suggestions for a Bali visit in May/June. Previously, travel/dive trips have been solo, and diving the only priority. This time, my wife will be coming, so I have additional considerations... Diving is still the main priority, so that should dictate the areas, but my wife is not a...

As I recall there is a HUGE grocery store ~2/3 of the way, possibly in Batangas? Costco size, with dozens of "assistants" in uniform ready to help. Good popsicles. Not much shade, but some. I wear a full-brimmed hat for dome and neck protection. +1 on the booties- I'd say they are a must-have...

Diablo Divers | cavern ? cave | experience ? education.I have had many excellent experiences with Dennis and crew @ Diablo Divers. *I see Natalie Gibb's name on the website also, but have never met her. Have fun!

You guys are obviously have these sites nailed. Beautiful subjects and pic's. For dreaming purposes... what would you budget (roughly) per night for a; solo traveler, modest room and food, and 2-3 dives/day? I need a vacation. Thanks

Thanks for the follow-up. Please tell us more about your trip.
