Buy UW strobes in Manado?

Hello All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy UW strobes in Manado? My strobe broke beyond repair and I'm desperate to get one before going to Lembeh

cheers

Where are you now? What is your airline routing? When will you be in Lembeh? What resort?

A short (>3 hour) layover in Singapore could get them to you.

I'm currently on Bunaken, moving to Lembeh on the 15th. I'm going to be diving with Froggies.

ask the staff at Froggies to order one from you and have it sent from Jakarta overnight with Tiki..

Hi Fishmonger, I know this is probably too late for you, hope you managed to get what you wanted or to borrow/rent from the dive operation.

I don't particularly want to revive an old thread but this might be a good place to offer a few suggestions based on my experience. Just so that anyone else in a similar situation may be helped.

I found myself in the position of looking for a camera with a case in Bunaken in Feb 2012. I bought a Canon G12 at "My Toys" at Mantos. They had the best price (6,000,000 total) and also the best salespeople. "Episode" also at Mantos had mainly cheaper cameras with housings (but also one expensive Sony SLR); "Central Game" at Megamall also had a good price but the sales people didn't understand my sign language too well (lol); the Canon Shop at Megamall was way too expensive even after coming down in price. These places would be the best to try for strobes etc as well.

That was in Feb 2012 and things may well change.....
