Thanks for the explanation.. and i understand your feelings 👍 Maybe it’s because they know me a lot I feel always the happiness… but maybe they hate me and it’s fake 😅😅😅 The restaurant thing it’s ok.. they had new managers at that time and wasn’t perfect at all… they improved al lot in 19.. in 22 was incredible and last year was astonishing(also the price😢).. but let me say that in 2018 in comparison with the first years was a ton better.. I remember in 14-15 the food was really difficult… always white rice 😬😬 I know you have Marco as a dive guide.. he was one of the two new managers.. I don’t know why they give you him as a dive guide… 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I’ve always had the same dive guide since 2014.. Ivan from gangga.. but I know also the others dive guides.. all locals… I really understand your disappointment.. the dive guide means a lot and can ruin everything… I remember one lob in Komodo with an idiot.. local but idiot! 😤 Thank you again!!

If isn’t a problem can I ask you about your negative experience? I’m just curious , What happened? 😬😢

Ahah for us became “out of budget”… 😱😅😅

I was there in August 2018 too… maybe we meet… 😅 that year we go to bangka-togean-Tompotika… when we were in bangka i didn’t remember to much wind… nothing like 2015… 😱 Coraleye now it’s a complete different place in every aspect.. 😅😅

I agree… it’s very strange 😬😅😅

Thanks a lot !!!! This help me!!! For the corners softness on those shots for me seems pretty good!! The 4.33 acrylic don’t have any better! 👍👍👍👍

I took it off one time for polishing it… the 4.33 dome... It was a nightmare put it back with the old black oring.. I do the same with the 3.5 dome(n85) and finally was impossible with the original and I had to use an old grey port oring because was softer… 😅😅

Ahaha I want to add some infos about dive sites but Luko said everything!! 👍👍👍

Thanks… this was just in front of bastianos resort… the resort wasn’t already there, they were in the building process… the name of the dive site is busa bora… it take the name from the very small village between bastianos and coral eye resorts.. 😉 Those shots are from sahaung dive site.. there you can do some incredible reefscapes and as Luko said incredible CFWA.. I’m still in love with bangka island after 8 times… in 2015 i stayed there one month straight 🤣🤣😅 and i took there my best shot of all times in the mangroves(CFWA).. 😍

I’ve done more than 300dives in bangka.. 80% was macro, but the other 20% was with my fisheye and was well deserved!! Depends what you mean for fisheye opportunities… if you are thinking about big animals it’s a no.. but the reef around that island it’s so beautiful and for me fisheye sometimes is mandatory in dive sites like sahaung or others on the east side that have gorgeous topography! But only three days it’s very little time… maybe the wwlC it’s enough.. 😅😅

Thank you!! Have you tried them also in wide angle photography? I saw the backscatter big test and they rated them so low in GN that it’s difficult to believe.. 😬😬

Hi guys… someone has used this strobes? I have used inons for almost twenty years, for macro(z330 with beam reducer) and fill wide angle.. love their compactness/weight/power ratio for travel.. always used them in full manual mode, so i don’t need the latest gimmick.. I’m searching something comparable in size and power for both macro and wide angle.. those fotocore gtm are even comparable? Other strobes similar? For what i see around seems that I’ve to wait the z360(but when?) or going heavier and a lot more expensive!!! Thanks!! Fabio

I confirm it’s in the zen port chart… I’m still undecided between the Nauticam 140 and the zen dp100… maybe can be possible and easier to find the 140mm also used… the zen only new from my dealer… fortunately and unfortunately I’ve a lot of months before coming back underwater … 😅

Did you use the howshot dome port with the 8mm Olympus? 😅

Hi phil.. thanks for the advice… in the zen underwater n85 port chart they say that the oly 8mm behind the dp100 n85 is good with the Nauticam 30mm extension ring… 😅😅 ah.. I read your review!! 😉
