I must say the organisation in French Polynésia is really good But it nature... nothing is sure... We made 3 half day trip before it was possible to go in the water an see the whale under water... I have no words to describe this experience

I was last month in Moorea, the rule are very stric. Not more than 6 person + guide... and mximum 2 or 3 boat We was 2 group/boat of 6 you can also see that

Yes it was Marco... the person was ok... but as guide...

For sure 1) the staff wasn't happy... no smile nothing.. but... as soon the boss apears... they was different... It was clear something was wrong (that's really the most negativ point, we like to feel the "happiness" ) 2) Restaurant was not really good under average (for the price) 3) diving guides wasn't "good", it was an italian staff member not a local. 4) the weather.. but that's nobody fault, it's nature, but it helps to give a negativ feeling And when you leave you have the feeling that you will never come back... then you didn't want... It wasn't dramatic but ... I hope you undertand the feeling we had.

Same... but after our first experience ... I didn't want to go back. it is really not what we are looking for.

I know... ;) nothing for us

I was there in 2018 in august... windy, we had bad condition... and the Coral Eye at this time wasn't very "friendly" I never returned there only in Bunaken & Lembeh... but next year we will stay for 5 days at the Sea Souls Dive Resort I hope the weather will be much better as the first time.

Nice shot

Hummm difficult If you have only one config... macro But wide angle at Bangka is not a bad solution ... 3 days 8 dives? I'll take WA and Macro otherwise i'll have some frustation

Yes when I want to take some goby or crabe on wire coral When everything is moving it's realy hard

I've also a R5 and the RF100 the most important point for me is no focusing to the background.

When an other boat is at the same site, I never had any problems. The only one was to wait until the other divers finished with a "good subject" You need to be patient BUT the good point if there are other boats is that there are also other guide searching for good things...

I'm using with my R5 the Canon RF 10-20 mm (rectilinear) and i'm really happy with it.

Solitude 1 Guide for maximum 2 divers. That's an important point for me.

Try the Solitude in Lembeh I was there in february very good.

Wouah... that's for my wife

I missed this subject... Question... each month all the pictures can be choose? Or only the new posted ? I'm not sure I understand the rules?

Me too but sometimes there is no other options (i'm probably not good enough to avoid post-processing ;) )

Like @Klaus I find this document a really good base ... I like it

The next work is to optimize the form of the snoot to concentrate the light in the middle on a point of 30 mm You see the iris in the middle in red

38 mm diameter it's not so big... I made a snoot 100% 3D printed The main problem was to make it watertight and to be able to rotate the iris in the snoot. It work now I have to optimize the weight and reduce the loss of light to have a maximum power for the position lamp and also enough when the hole are only 2 mm
