Wow, we're going to Cozumel tomorrow (we are in Mexico already) and would be leaving on 9th to Tulum. I guess we'll have to start making a plan B. We have hotels booked until 13 August in Yucatan. I wonder if sites like Booking.com or Hotels.com accept cancels in cases like this?

Thanks, that was also my first trip with G12. :) You have some really nice shots, too. So much stuff to see at Lembeh, at least. Have to add Ambon to my to-do-list. ;)

Mikä... What camera did you use? ;)

I dove Sipadan in November 2009. Back then I was with Sipadan Scuba and stayed in Semporna. We're going back at the end of November. Any recommendations for resorts / dive ops? We're going to stay on the island of Mabul instead of Semporna this time..

Thanks for all the great tips! I'm sure I will be able to get a good picture or two. ;) I am still thinking about getting Fantasea BigEye from New York before heading to Mexico. Not sure though, if it's worth it. There's been a lot of talk about the glass reflecting on the video (e.g. see here...

I fear that by using P mode I end up having motion blur on the photos. Well, if I managed to hold my breath and dive that deep, what settings would you start with for silhouettes? Manual mode or Tv (1/500 or 1/1000, ISO 80)? Why would you want to control aperture instead of shutter? As I...

No wide angle (though I might get one from NY before heading to Mexico). I mostly shoot P mode on land, so I don't have a good idea of the settings. There's not much time to learn either, since the boat is probably crowded and it's limited to 2 people snorkeling at a time.

I'm going to Isla Mujeres in August to take photos of whale sharks while snorkeling. Strobes are not allowed. What kind of settings would you use Av/Tv/M? What ISO? What kind of settings when diving below them (for silhouettes)?

That's a good point, Mike. Now, can you recommend a nice company, that is not in a big hurry and has bigger boats (or, at least not the smaller ones)? ;)

We could, but it's a bit out of our budget then. :) We've been trying to find an operator, that would leave earlier, would be there longer, would have smaller groups or something like that. Really hard to differentiate between any of the operators. Based on all the reviews, everyone has just...

Thanks for the link. I read through the report, but I fear swimming 3 times with the creatures will not be enough for me and my camera. :) Thus, I've been trying to find an operator which would not be like 2 people x times y minutes each and then quickly back, but would rather understand...

Whale shark tour operator recommendations? Preferably those, that have smaller groups and let you swim longer with them.

After much comparing and thinking, we managed to book diving and a hotel from Cozumel. However, some things still need answering. Help?

Thanks for all the great responses! We've now decided to first go to Isla Mujeres for a couple of days and do the trip from there (any whale shark op recommendations?). From there we'll continue to Cozumel (there's no boat straight from Isla Mujeres to Cozumel, is there?). We're going to dive...

Wasn't G1X supposed to handle high ISO speeds without getting noise..?

We're (me + girlfriend, 25-30 yrs) going on a holiday to the U.S. at the end of July. We're flying from Mexico to Miami and have 4-5 days before flying back to Europe. How would you spend it? We'd like to do some shopping and maybe a dive or two. I also enjoy taking photos. What do you...

Wow, all that in Galapagos..? Got to get there myself! :shocked2:

Thanks for the replys! I think I will find what I'm looking for here. :)

What Aldora's email? I didn't manage to find it..
