    SLR vs HD camcorder

    Hi, am looking at buying a Sony XR550. Could you please let me know the rest of your set-up. Lens and lights. I am looking at buying this camera with a Mangrove housing. Do you have any experience with these housings? Also, do you have advice for the lights. Thanks for any help.

    Vanuatu or Fiji?

    Hello Luko, There have been some big changes in Lagoon Safaris since your visit. We have moved the business to Lifou. The activity in the Kuendu Beach Resort has been sold and I am now concentrating on the dive centre here in Lifou. The diving here is quite exceptional with clear water and...

    Sharks in Noumea

    Hello Claude & Luke, Actually, I think that the sharks are there most of the time. Sometimes they are deeper and of course they like the incoming current like last week-end. I saw them on Saturday at around 25 meters but on Sunday there were a lot of divers in the water and they went deeper...

    Sharks in Noumea

    Hello all, I just thought that I would like to share a short video which was filmed by one of our customers Sunday morning. I saw the same school of grey reef sharks Saturday. There were definietly more than a hundred sharks. Great dives! To top it off, we spent our surface interval with...

    New Caledonia

    Hello Cemi, It doesn't appear that many people are interested in our country. Have you been diving this week-end? We did the Fausse Passe d'Uitoé and the Dumbea passage today. On the first dive we saw a turtle, a leopard shark, a few white tip sharks, plenty of fish and lovely corals. In the...

    Hello

    Bonjour Cemi et welcome to Scubaboard. I am looking forward to your threads on the diving in New Caledonia. The diving here is really very good and there are sites which are never dived. I am always amazed that not many people outside of France seem to know about our destination.

    Slight whistling in left ear..

    Hello Letmekilluplz, I agree with the previous posts. If something does not feel right in your ear, you should see an ENT specialist. In my experience, every time a diver has complained about a feeling of water in the ear after a dive (even several hours later) it is usually a pressure...

    Vanuatu and New Caledonia

    I have put you down for Wednesday. It is often better during the week as the boat is usually not full and there are not so many divers in the water.

    Vanuatu and New Caledonia

    Hello guys, My dog Tasi is almost back to his normal, happy self. Claude. When I said live-aboard, I actually meant that the owners are living on board. There are still no dive live-aboards in the country. There are sailing catamarans where the customers can do a bit of diving but no real...

    Bonjour / Namascare : Frenchie in India

    Bonjour Virginie, Welcome to the forum. I am Australian but I live in New Caledonia so I also speak French. There are quite a few French divers here on the Scubaboard. You will have to let us know how the diving is in India. I have never dived there. Most of my diving has been in the Pacific...

    Vanuatu and New Caledonia

    Bonjour, I haven't been on the forum for a couple of days. One of my dogs was poisoned and I was terribly distressed for a couple of days. Fortunately he is very tough and I was quick to get him to the vet who took good care of him. He is recovering nicely although he spent one day in a coma...

    Vanuatu and New Caledonia

    Hi Luko, Don't get dpressed over the changes. All is not bad and obviously there are going to be changes with time. On the bright side, we have a modern, well organised medical system with a recompression chamber, good roads and all kinds of shops and restaurants in Noumea. If you want a bit...

    Vanuatu and New Caledonia

    Hello Claude, No this is not Harmony (that's actually the name of my boat). I take her into Port Moselle for six months every year during the cyclone season. This is from December through April. I will find a photo for you. Harmony is a classic Herreschoff ketch. She is more than thirty years...

    Vanuatu and New Caledonia

    Hi Luko, I will try and answer your questions. First the water temperature. At the moment it is around 23 C. In July it might be around 21 to 22 C. It shouldn't get much colder. On the bright side the visi is usually much nicer in winter and there is often less wind. I would definitely...

    Bonjour Luko, There is really good diving all around NC. I suppose that you already know that a large part of our lagoon was recently listed by Unesco on the World Heritage List. Noumea also has some good dive sites. You can get an idea from our blog. Diving in New Caledonia If you plan to do...

    Noumea / New Caledonia ?

    Bonjour Claude, It is interesting to see the Hienghene "Hen" as your avatar. I hope that you had the chance to dive there when you lived in NC. The dive centre is run by Regine & Thierry who are good friends of mine and the diving is really good. We actually took Mike out snorkeling to Signal...

    Ok, so it's time for me to post my Cozumel screw ups...

    The important thing is that DD wasn't hurt and that he has definitely gained from the experience. I think that he just had a bad day, it does happen. Accidents are often a combinaison of many small things that go wrong. I remember reading a story about a fellow who drowned in relatively shallow...
