WARNING: Lost / Stolen Nauticam OM1 setup - Bali, Indonesia

Featured Replies

In case you see or are approached with a an offer for a Nauticam OM1 rig:

About 2 months ago I have lost a whole OM1 rig during an underwater emergency while diving East Bali (Tulamben). Setup was slightly positive hence it was drifting in the water. Despite my and my friends efforts here, we have been met with a wall of silence from the local community, nobody had seen or found anything. Or so it had appeared. As it turns out, camera was very quickly found (or possibly fished out straight away, while we were still in the water, as it has disappeared suddenly while we were being bombarded with fishing lines from the shore). I was only able to recover the strobes + a couple of 70mm arms just yesterday, and that is only due to these being sold by a local who kept part of the "loot" (and urgently needed money for a religious ceremony) to another local who in turn brought it to a resident photographer here in Amed to help him clean and sell it (claiming it was a "gift from a guest"). Unfortunately according to him, the rest has been long smuggled to/via Jakarta for sale via extended family of some locals.

Hence If you hear about any Nauticam OM1 being sold in the general APAC region (or could be beyond), the chances are it is this one...

What is still missing:

OM1 housing with M14 Vacuum Valve II

Port 45

Extension ring 20

Diopter Holder

Carbon Arms 90mm x2

Bayonet holders for 90mm arms x2

OM SYSTEM:

OM1 body

Turtle:

o-TURTLE 2 SMART TTL trigger for Olympus / Panasonic

ULCS:

4 short clamps

3 long clamps

Mares:

Inon

UCL-165M67 diopter

Misc:

2 black neoprene covers for the strobes

Handmade bright orange strap with two xDeep snapbolts

1st picture of the whole rig below (from the fatal dive, taken by my teammate GoPro). 2nd picture from another dive with a 14-42/WWL configuration.

It had a very distinctive orange strap on top (or what I now think of a perfect hooking up point for a fishing hook....). Naturally I do have serial numbers of most of the parts as well as invoices for those.
