The manual is pretty weak on the flash functions re. the hotshoe but it notes that the setting is "off" when the flash is down. So probably only simple "fire" control (works for me). Has anyone seen indication that there is a Nauticam port/gear option to use the Panasonic 14-45mm m43 lens...

I'm hoping/planning that the M16 accessory port will accept the "Nauticam Nikonos 5-pin Bulkhead with Hotshoe Connector #25013". My plan is to use that with a dual S&S cable & old strobes. Not much detail on the Nauticam site, though.

Thanks for the feedback. What Lens, Port, and Zoom-Gear options are you starting with or planning on?

Wetpixel Nauticam preview here. It looks like a great choice for video & stills, in a very small package. I emailed Nauticam, and got back a confirmation that they will make it- but no date, only "watch the website". Others that are seriously interested should let them know.

Thanks again. No doubt any of these choices will be a big step up from my E-PL1 in all areas. I guess I need to do some more digging to get a better feel for actual video performance and examples- hopefully U/W. Anyone have E-M1 U/W video examples to point me to? Yes, the Black Magic looks...

Thanks to all for the great info- from someone toying with the idea of "upgrading" from an E-PL1. Any comments on U/W Video performance would be great, as that's one of the reasons I'm looking (at these cameras and the Panasonic GH3 & GX7).

My first trip to Anilao, Philippines (2011) was a group trip. I was solo; $175/nt including 3 meals+/day, 4 boat dives/day, airport transfers, etc. Only added $ was Nitrox (<$100/week), beer, and tips. My 2012 trip was slightly more expensive to the same place (Crystal Blue Resort). 'just back...

Has anyone heard any news re. a Panasonic GX7 housing? The GX7 looks very interesting, and the small housing would be a great asset. From what I've read, the main things it gives up to the GH3 is no IS in video and weather sealing. NA-GX7 preview. Edit: I just got this reply from Nauticam re...

Aqua Safari used to have a small boat/six-pack option for not much more $, and it was good (just reserve well ahead of time). If they don't anymore, there are plenty of op's who do. I want to go back!

It looks Like I'll only get one trip in 2013- but it was a good one! Komodo, October 2013

It was pretty long ago that I used DWM, but I remember liking that they let me and an instructor that was from the same hotel do our own thing when asked. No issues. Like some others, the gear rinse/storage is a non-issue (no thanks), and the ride to the dive site it the biggest value for me...

'hoping for that sucker to take a right-turn! Thanks for posting the great pic's, and best of luck to all with the storm.

I did not exaggerate one bit. In my 1 (of many available) example; When there are critters, reef, and 3 divers within 2 meters of your fins, and you lay/kneel there stirring up the "sand". When did that become OK? 15 dives qualifies everyone to determine what's on the bottom and is OK to step...

Wow, first post I read here after a trip taking pictures and spitting through my reg. This would be great advice if you wrote "I suggest you start out taking photo's whilst kneeling on sand on the beach...." I just spent a week around a few diver/photographers of varying skill and equipment...

I went with the UWPG/Bluewater Photo group, to Crystal Blue- both times. Have fun with the new rig!

Killer deal for anyone looking to upgrade or get started. Very Hard to beat the quality/$ factor. I have the same combo with 2 old strobes, and have only made 2 serious trips- but here my testimony; Anilao 2011 Anilao 2012

One of my previous uw camera/housings (not E-PL) would occasionally lock up. I found it was due to a sticking button-plunger. The camera didn't like it always being pushed...

Yea, I knew better too- but it is a moray- with spots...;) Goldentail moray post removed.

I used DD for 1 of my 2 trips there. No complaints at all. A Friendly, laid back staff. I liked the flexibility to walk over and book whatever diving I wanted at the time, on top of the scheduled dives I made. If you get your Nitrox cert. before going, Nitrox is free. A major savings if it's...
