I emailed the Ocean Rover when I saw the Adventure trips for 2003 were no longer listed on the website and received the following:

Got a website? What is their website URL? Perhaps there is another operator called Clever Divers? (joke)

Aussies have such a great sense of humo(u)r! Enjoy! The WHY PAY MORE DIVE TRIP *click here* On the Why Pay More Cruise, Captain Abdullah arranges a Party Night get together. It is a time to bring out that special bottle of wine you have been saving. This special night is called when most...

I have been looking at the Ocean Rover as they run live aboard trips from Samui, Thailand to Singapore (and back) which they call "Adventure Cruise Trips" Nice operation, well designed ship and world famous UW Photog Mark Strickland leads it. Here is a map:

For those prices how many dives per day do you get?

What type of diving? I like the walls in Indonesia with great panoramic views for wide angle photography. Got any there?

frankzeg is right - get out to the wreck of the Yongala. There is amazing sealife on and around it. Feb-March is still the monsoon season in Queensland and that area gets the most rain in all of Australia (they told us of Mt Tully)

Amazing Thailand!

October can be dicey. In Oct 1997 (El Nino), I did the first Similans liveaboard trip of the season and it was fantastic weather and no other boats around. In Oct 1998 (La Nina) We got 4 inches of rain per day. A good trip is to do one of the liveaboards into Burma, the diving is far...

What time of year has the best visibility at Sangalaki?

Taking photos of the Dee quality (or any of the other accomplished U/W photogs seen here) is not as easy as it looks. You've taken the right first steps to ask, now I'd recommend taking classes, spend time searching your goals and laying out a budget (including maintenance). Just buying a...

Rent before you buy. Stick your toe in the water and see if you like it - EBAY is filled with U/W photogropher sellers that decided it wasn't for them I took two UW photo courses in 1990 and alternated renting a Nik V and UW video. I found that my success rate with the very good condition...

Peter Lim, was it Sabye Sports ?

Got a website?

How old is it? How many dives? How have you stored it? Is your Poppet worn badly? ALWAYS store the second stage Inhalation Resistance Control Knob in the FULL OUT position. It will last far longer that way.

I use the 13mm Nikkor RS-AF lens and although it is called a "Fisheye" that is a misnomer as it is a wide angle lens underwater. It is versatile and especially great for low vis situations by getting in close. Here is a photo taken in 5 ft vis (max) and within inches of the subject...

Digital does not have the dynamic range yet nor does it hold up well in high contrast situations like shooting upwards towards the sun to get Sunballs and Lightrays. Here is an excellent article by Professionals comparing digital to film *Click Here* Prices will come down and quality...

Both will work. The old style was produced for the Nikonos IV, prior to TTL in the Nik V. You can actually use the old style in the Nik V, but just won't have TTL. Then again if you are going to spend that large sum of cash, better get the real one. Helix sells them on Ebay from time to...

This is true for the black O-Rings that are made of Butyl rubber, which is 99%, but my Nikonos RS uses Viton O-Rings for the back+lens which are silicon and shed the grease. In the annual servicing pamphlet that Nikon USA sends with all RS's that complete annual servicing, they recommend using...
