Will be visiting Maldives for the first time. Emperor Virgo liveaboard.

I am shooting a Canon 70d in Ikelite stuff. I wont be able to take every single lens and port I own, so I want to make an informed decision which ones to take.

For Wide Angle I have both a compact port and large port, with either 10-22mm or the 10-17 tokina. I am not really expecting any over unders so i am thinking just to take the smaller dome (5 inch precision dome). I am guessing the tokina is best (I used it for blue sharks in the azores as well on the longer end) .

I really have some doubts about taking a macro lens as well because of currents mentioned, and the chance that something big pops up when I am at 1:1

Same about strobes : wont be any use on the larger subjects, but on the blue sharks, i did use them as a fill light which worked ok.

Activities in Iran/The Gulf and flights permitting (we're booked to travel through Doha!), I'm in the same position.

I'm planning to take a 10-17 Tokina for my D500 with a 100mm domeport - plus a 60mm macro. I've used both there before successfully. The 10-17 worked very well for manta shots.
