I have the utmost respect for sharks. Anyway now i feel happy that i had this encounter and i probably will never forget it :) Also a new video from my latest trip to Malapascua, Philippines. Its a cut of scenes from my first dive there. Hope you guys enjoy it. Bantigue, Malapascua...

rab1412000: Thx. It was my first shark encounter and honestly i was a little scared at that moment ;) The jaws theme was going through my head during that dive, thats why i thought its appropriate to use it in the video as well ;)

I did around 18 dives in 5 days in september in Kona and did nearly all my dives with Big Island Divers and can highly recommend them. I dove with a 3mm full suit and had no probs, but i also don't get cold easily. mkzwo

A couple of videos i finished editing from my trip to Kona, Hawaii. Shot with the Panasonic Lumix ZS7 and edited with Adobe Premiere CS5. Oceanic Whitetip Shark Encounter on Black Water Dive, Kona Hawaii, Sep 17 2010 Manta Ray Night Dive, Kona Hawaii, Sep 18 2010 White Tip Reef Sharks in...

I have pretty much exactly the same equipment. Didn't make any pictures with it yet though. Only videos due that i just received my optical cable. Any tips on what settings to use for pictures to take with the macro lens? mkzwo

On my trip to Kona this september i also did the Black Water Night dive with Big Island Divers and with Joshua. I had a pretty similar experience and got part of it on video. Hope you guys will enjoy it :) Oceanic Whitetip Shark Encounter on Black Water Dive, Kona Hawaii, Sep 17 2010 on Vimeo...

Thats basically my plan and also my reason behind choosing them.

I'm lucky enough to have friends in Japan, so it was not very difficult to order from local shops there. mkzwo

I found Kona Seaside Hotel quite reasonably priced and conviniently located.

What an amazing experience that must have been for you and your family!

Thanks for all the helpfull info until now. I highly appriciate it! :) Anybody interested in doing some afternoon/evening shore dives with me in end of september? Best regards mkzwo

Lopaka: Yeah probably not, which would be not a big deal though. Its the last day of diving anyway and until then i will have done the manta dive a couple of times. I would prefer a normal shore night dive, but seems none of the dive ops offer this.

I'm planing on doing the Three Tank Long Range Dive with Big Island on 20. september and maybe if possible end the day with a 1 tank manta dive. Lesismore: If you plan any dives between 16th to 20st september, let me know. Maybe we can do some together. mkzwo

I attended, It was quite a small show with a couple of stores from HK attending, many booths of resorts and dive centers from around asia. I spent around an hour there and it was enough ;) regards mkzwo

Thanks Bappelt for the info. Take this into consideration. Thanks Lopaka for your sharing. I have Jake's Diving Locker in my original schedule because they are the only ones i could find who offer the 2 Tank Manta dive on sundays. But generally their prices are on the upper end of the spectrum...

Hey guys, I finalized my trip to Kona in mid to end of september for a total of 7 days. Now i still have a couple of questions and hope some of you might share their experience. I read already a lot through this part of the forum so generally i have some idea about differences in e.g. dive...

The combination of Inon S2000 with TZ10 works fine with STTL. Only problem i have at the moment is that this little mirror thing is very loose and easy falls of due to the sticky attachable area being very small. A general problem i feel is that the whole set is quite negative in buoyancy and...

I finally decided to buy a Sandisk Extreme Class10 16GB SDHC Card and can say it works perfectly fine with the camera and causes no problems. mkzwo

Hey, I'm currently planing a diving trip to the Philippines in mid october. My choices would be Puerto Galera or Malapascua, but i have a couple of questions and hope some of you guys here have experience and can make my decision easier :) First of all which is better in terms of weather...

Hi, I recently bought a Panasonic TZ10 and now i'm wondering which SD card i should buy. My choices would be either Sandisk Extreme Class10 16GB SDHC Card or Sandisk Ultra 32GB SDXC Card? Would the later one be fast enough for video recording? mkzwo
