There are about 17 commonly dived sites around Pulau Weh. Most are found on the North Western part of the island, closer to Ibioh Beach. Dives that orignate from the main island bay area are mostly gentle sloping sand and coral. These are full of macro life and my favorite macro dives are...

I got there via Medan, then connected to Aceh Airport and finally landed in Sabang Airfield. The birdseye view of the place is great, reminded me of something like Peter Pan's Island. A tall live volcano with a bit of cloud at the peak, very green vegetation, purple fringed reef and blending...

Thanks for the complement. Feel free to comment good or bad.

I forgot to add aquarium observations are sometimes not the same as real life observations. For example the powder blue surgeon I had was extremely territorial, but yet in Maldives they appear in never ending schools raiding algae plots. However, would a shrimp and anemone behavior be...

As I already mentioned, etowndiver needs to tell us the CORAL the goby was resting on. I also mentioned "IN GENERAL, I have not seen gobies on Hydroids or Anemone. I can find them on sea fans, sponges, sandy bottom, non burning hard coral..." There will always be the exceptions. If you...

I am more of a Nikonos diver, and as I mentioned the S40 with WP-DC300 casing is only 1 year old. Most of my photos are still film based, but I have slowly grown to appreciate the S40. I do not have an external strobe like the DS125 or DS50. I just use the internal strobe for close up...

This poll would show most popular within a small sample group of divers. This however does not mean OLYMPUS is the best. It would indicate it MIGHT be the most popular brand. I do agree that most places I go, I see divers holding an OLYMPUS in a housing. BEST is subjective to your...

etowndiver, you need to be more specific about the coral the goby was sitting on. Not all corals have powerful defensive mechanism. In general I have not seen gobies on Hydroids or Anemone. I can find them on sea fans, sponges, sandy bottom, non burning hard coral... So I guess they do...

I have a Canon S40 and 1 Gig Microdrive, they are about 1 year old and done maybe 100+ dives. So far so good, no problems. I download using the PCMCIA slot of my notebook, and delete from there too. The USB cable connection is very slow. Is it faster or slower than CF cards, I really...

I have both film and digital. Have two Nikonos V with a few lenses and strobes. Great results so far, maybe I have just grown used to it over the years. The Canon S40 in casing is OK. Still learning how to use it properly underwater. That shutter lag is real annoying. It seems to have...

Was not there myself, but got an e-mail saying it has been raining and raining and raining! So conditions are still terrible. All that junk and muck that has been stuck up at Mount Agung is being flushed down!

I happen to own and use: Suunto Vytec Oceanic DataPlus Oceanic DataTrans Plus US Divers Matrix After several hundred dives I have noticed: Oceanic DataPlus Oceanic DataTrans Plus US Divers Matrix Are more aggressive for NDL dives. Suunto is more conservative for NDL dives compared...
