http://www.digitaldiver.net/yabbse/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=9531;start=msg84382#msg84382 Check out the above thread at DigitalDiver.Net. I've used my INON Z-220 for topside shots for over a year now. No issues I'm told, as long as you avoid rapid bursts of no more than...

Just to clarify, Taiwanese carrier, China Airlines, is not to be confused with China's Air China. Being a Taiwanese carrier, China Airlines is about as "anti-communist" as you can get, if that really matters. China Airlines has a modern fleet. Flights from North America to onward points in...

Very nice work, Nick. I especially like that last one. Any chance you could share the EXIF data on that one please? Keep up the great work! Cheers.

Hi Marpacifica, Thanks for the kind comments. This yellow pygmy was found on the Liberty wreck on a sea fan at the bottom of the wreck. On one dive we found at least three on the sea fan. There is also a pink variant found at about 30 metres on the nearby dive site, Alam Anda, reachable only...

just returned from a last-minute short trip to Tulamben, Bali. Seeing many impressive Macro shots by shooters using the INON 165 Macro lens, I decided to purchase one from Yuzo, here in Asia. I had virtually no time to practice topside, so use of the lens underwater for a first-timer, was to...

If you shoot RAW, the iPods do not yet support RAW image format.

Congratulations to all. A special congrats to Mike Veitch for his cover shot on the Dec04/Jan05 issue of Asian Diver! Dec/Jan05 Asian Diver Magazine

In order to get a sense of what marine life you might see, many of the images in my "West Java" gallery were taken in the Thousand Islands (Pulau Seribu). http://allenhost.com/gallery/reefwreck Cheers.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Yes, Alcina, the Scuba Gods have been very good to me this year. I just hope it will continue! I can't explain why, but I cannot seem to resist shooting anemonefish! Every time I see one I always seem to want to take at least one image. There have been...

I've posted some underwater photos from an October trip to the Maldives. I only managed nine dives at various sites around the North Ari Atoll. All images were taken with an Olympus 5050 in a PT-015 housing. An Inon Z-220 strobe was used. The gallery can be found listed here...

Superb work, Nick. I especially like the first four. Were you using SMacro for those? The depth of field looks quite good. Cheers.

I was in the Maldives last week (North Ari Atoll). Topside the conditions were beautiful, yet diving conditions were disappointing for the Maldives. Viz. varied between 5-10 metres, maybe 15 max. Supposedly before my arrival they had 10 straight days of rough weather which kicked up a lot of...

I haven't dived them, but here is synopsis of what can be found in Jack Jackson's "Dive Guide: The Philippines" ISBN 1 85974 054 5: Wreck 1: Access: dingy or shore Conditions: Normally calm. Viz. can reach 20m. Avg. depth: 30m Max. depth: 35 m 40 m Japanese freighter. Lies on sand at...

Very nice, Jim. I especially like the Eagle Rays. While you may have been shooting down, the wavy white sand bottom and trails make an interesting, nicely contrasting background. Good eye! Cheers.

Great images, Nick. I especially like the Anemonefish colours and composition, as well as the last Longnose Hawkfish. If it is not too much trouble, any chance you could please post the camera settings for the Anemonefish shot ? Thanks.

Excellent, Nick ! I especially like the colours on the nudi!

Nick, Those are all excellent shots. You don't need no stinkin' strobe ! We miss seeing your work on that "other" board. ;) Cheers.

If you're referring to my post which you quoted, I apologize for the confusion. Check out the Delphis Dive Centre rates for Paradise Island: Dive Rates For example, you'll see that a single tank dive will cost US$39. There is also a boat fee of US$12, if you are doing a boat dive...

I was at Paradise Island in December 2001. Although it is one of the largest resorts in the Maldives, it was quiet then, post 9/11. Accomodations The accomodations were quite nice and comfortable. We were upgraded to a deluxe beach front bungalow, maybe 20 paces from waters edge. The...
