Hi all,
I'll have a trip to Lembeh in Aug 2025 This will be my first time there. I know that it's dive area that mainly focus on Macro. (I'd been to Tulamben 3-4 times already)
However, I'm not sure about the 'typical size' of the subjects in this area. So I'd like to ask for advice on lens to bring with me for the trip.
I'm using Olympus EM5III in Ikelite Housing, with 2 Ikelite Strobes on electrical sync cord.
List of lens that I have are: (all Oly)
- Would there be chance or dive site that would better suit with Wide Angel Lens? if yes, is it for 7-14 or 12-40?
- For macro, are the subjects in Lembeh suit for 60mm or just 30mm would be enough?
This would help me reduce some luggage for the trip.
Thank you all in advance.

- 7-14mm f2.8 pro
- 9-18mm f4-5.6 (this one I don't have proper part to use UW)
- 12-40mm f2.8 pro
- 30mm macro f3.5
- 60mm macro f2.8
- 40-150 (This one I'm aware that it's not suit for UW use)
- Also, I got a +10 Diopter to add on the flat port when I use either 30mm or 60mm
