Yes indeed - need an additional flight to get to Fuvamulah from Male. If one has sufficient time, I think the ideal way is to do a liveaboard trip in Maldives (for example, several boats offer a "best of Maldives" itinerary, which I quite like) followed by a few days in Fuvamulah. Kind regards Ajay

Hi folks, We spent five days diving in Fuvamulah this Jan. Went mainly for tiger shark dives - and we saw plenty of them. There were other sharks in the area, including a sand tiger, and a thresher, and a school of hammerheads (which I missed). Although it is mainly a big fish dive Island, it's definitely worth a revisit, I think. It was pretty much the first time that I was trying out my relatively new gear (Sony A7 IV in a Nauticam housing); and I tend to do much more macro - so switching to wide angle was a bit of a challenge. On top of that, I spent almost half, or more dives trying video. Learning curves were all steep, so the photos and videos are not so great. I also tried the WWL-1B on one day, and I like it: although I do feel there are soft corners, but I think with more trials, I should be able to improve.. Here is a teaser image. The trip report and photos are here. The video is here. Comments, criticism, and advise are all welcome. Kind regards, Ajay

The title of this thread should be your signature line. @Davide DB - genius 😀

Two of my favorites were from a trip to Lambeh, both are birthing events. The first one is a coconut octopus in a jam jar, squeezing loads of baby octopuses (octopii?) into the night sea. The second, baby cuttlefish getting ready to face the world.. Kind regards, Ajay

I used (for the first time) a Sony A7 IV with the 28-60 in standard port on a trip to Malapascua earlier this year. I don't have the CMC, but did use a Subsee +10 wet lens for macro. Felt that some macro images were slightly soft, but maybe as I gain experience, will learn the right combination of aperture and strobe.. You can see my images from the trip here: http://iez152.ieda.ust.hk/MALAPASCUA_APR23/MALAPASCUA_APR23.html I did not use the WWL-1 B on the thresher sharks, but I will try it on (I hope) tiger and hammerheads in my planned trip to Maldives in early/mid Jan - will post images after. Cheers, Ajay

.. and lust scales with time :-). So an alternative approach is to buy a subset of what you want (e.g. macro/normal only setup) but in a way that you can add other elements later without sacrificing something you already bought (e.g. decide first whether in the long run you'd prefer common port with wet lens or multiple lenses and ports for each). Kind regards Ajay.

Thanks Rich, found it, and it works just as I was expecting. Great!

Hi, Appreciate the effort to put up this site, hope it thrives as a continuation of wetpixel, which has been an inspiration for me for almost two decades. Couple of questions/thoughts: In the use profile, I was expecting to find a place to store photo/video/diving gear, and possibly a link to personal website. Maybe I missed this part? Kind regards Ajay
