I spent a lot of time in the piti bomb holes and hap's reef. Bomb holes were great night dives on full moon nights. I took a wreck diving course while there, so have done most of the wrecks around Guam. Blue hole was cool. Never got what all the interest in Crevice was, other than a good dive...

I lived in Guam in 1988 for about 6 months. Worked for the PDN. Would I know you? Jerry

Sounds like you're good to go! Have a great trip!

Barrod, you should be very careful about doing a dive on 5/13 and then hopping on a plane and being on another island on 5/14. Make sure you have at the very least 12 hours between the end of your dive and the beginning of your flight. 24 hours would be much better. Usually, I build in a...

I'm not convinced that the residue is salt. When I first got my housing, I dipped it into a pool to test the o-rings and other seals. I dropped down to the bottom at 12 feet, realizing that this wasn't much pressure, but at least the port and door were not leaking at the surface! Anyway, after...

Hey, don't knock film :shocked2: I got some really nice photos with my Nikonos. Unfortunately, the industry has made it very hard to get slide film processed. Besides, I won't mind having more than 36 shots per dive :rofl3: Here's some stuff I shot on film in Micronesia a few decades ago, though.

Hi guys, I'm booked on a two-day trip on the Bottom Scratcher in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know if there is a charging station for camera/flash batteries on board? And, if so, if there is room for more than one person to charge at the same time? Thanks! Jerry

Thanks for the info guys. Guess I'm just a luddite when it comes to custom controls :shocked2: ---------- Post added March 5th, 2013 at 07:59 AM ---------- I'm coming from a Nikonos V directly to the e-m5 so there is a very steep learning curve!!

Thanks everyone for the information. Maybe I'm being too anal about this, worrying about backscatter from the small hole, but I've never used a fiber optic cable for flash before.

That can be done, but you do need to access the menu to do so. That means you might miss a shot, for instance, you are shooting a macro shot when all of a sudden a nice shark swims by. By the time you access the controls to the flash, he's gone. But if all you have to do is reach up and switch...

My wife and I flew on Hawaiian last June and a complimentary meal was offered on both to and from Oahu from Las Vegas.

Hi guys, I finally got together enough money to pick up my Nauticam housing with 12-50 port for my e-m5. I am shooting with only one flash (S&S YS-01) until I can afford to get a second flash. Now I have a question. If I want to take a natural light photo (subject outside flash coverage)...

CDC (center for disease control) has a great travel vaccinations website. I would highly advise going there to check. Vaccinations - Travelers' Health - CDC Jerry

Thanks Storker, that seems to work!!

Okay, I'm kind of a luddite when it comes to technology, but I'm trying to set up my e-m5 camera to use the fn1 button for focus. However, when I set it and press the button nothing happens. And not just focus, I also tried magnify and again nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong or is the...

Scubanomad, I'll take your 9-18 PM me with your information Jerry

You might also want to check into the University of Guam, I understand they have a good marine biology program there and the water temps are 82 degrees!

Bullshark, thanks for your input. As you say, if I had enough money to buy another lens, I could get the strobe instead. Problem is that I have to sell the fisheye to get another strobe or lens. Yes, you are right, another strobe will make all the shots look better, but I was hoping to limp...

Hi guys! Okay, so I'm getting the money together to get my nauticam housing for the E-M5. Right now, I've got two lenses for the camera that are uw capable. One is the 12-50 and the other is the 8mm fe. I originally bought this camera primarily for uw work. When I talked with some people...

Franzo, The nice thing about the OMD system is that above water it's a great system too. I'm a professional photojournalist and use Canon (1DmkIV and 1DmkIII) at work. I also own Nikon pro gear for my personal gear. Recently I picked up the OMD as a new uw camera. Stuff happens and I haven't...
