stphnmartin Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Did a liveaboard trip to Alor on the Indo Siren shortly before it was consumed by fire and sank. 😪 Alor is known for its healthy reefs and it did not disappoint. However some of the more epic sites were accompanied by poor viz. Currents were also challenging and a few dives were shortened/aborted as a result. Water temps also fluctuated with some especially cold upwellings that required doubling up on wetsuits! If you plan to visit this area, keep these items in mind as it's not a usual Indonesia dive experience. At least to me it wasn't. 🙂 I'm still on the GH5M2 and shot mainly with the Olympus 7-14 and 60mm.   Edited August 27 by stphnmartin Correct YT link. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the longest running cameras ever. Let's have a buying group to upgrade to the GH7 🤣  Great video and great return! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love getting three dives in before a battery swap is needed. It will be a deal breaker upgrading to another camera if it doesn't compete in this area. But, I suspect it will be hard to match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
