That's the only picture I took of it. I was most interested in getting a shot of the white rings on it.

Shot was taken last month in Wakatobi. I think it's a Giant Moray, but all those white rings have me wondering. Never noticed them before on an eel. Can anyone make more of a positive id?

I bought the Soft Lite XW back in February and have yet to use it underwater. My strobes are the Retra Pro Max and though I was told that the mount I bought would work, it doesn't fit the newer Retras. I was just informed by Bluewater Photo that Marelux has no timetable for making a mount for the Pro Max. Before I return the snoot and mount, I was wondering if Phil had any insight into when a mount might be available.

SOLD

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I was hoping to use either the Retra grease or Nauticam lubricant since I already have both of those. Don't want to carry around another tube if I can help it. Phil: Perhaps you can chime in?

Price reduced to $300. This is the last piece of the system to sell. I need to empty my closet! Great setup for fish portraits and can double as a macro lens.

SOLD

I just purchased the Soft Lite XW and now realize that it did not come with any grease/lubricant for it. Any suggestion on a brand to use. I have some Retra grease and hope it's compatible with the Marelux.

Two Retra Pro X strobes with Superchargers, front & rear bumpers. Purchased 5/22, used on about 50 dives. Trigger counts: 3694 and 3214. Latest firmware installed (3.15). Both strobes in excellent condition. One does have a small scratch on the front lens (Strobe3 photo below), which doesn't affect its performance at all. Retail price was $3,496, these are priced to sell at $1,500 for the package. Will ship for free within the US. I'm still a Retra fan. Bought some Pro Max strobes as replacements.

I'd prefer to avoid the hassle of shipping overseas, so I will give it some time to sell first and see how it goes. The housing uses the N85 port system. They were purchased in December 2018.

I’ve gone full frame, so my Olympus M43 system has got to go. Right now, I’m selling the camera body, Nauticam housing, viewfinder and flashes. Aside from water stains on the housing, all the gear is in very good shape, never been flooded. Used on roughly 200 dives. Camera shutter count is 5948. Below is a list of what is for sale now. I will have some lenses and ports available after this sale goes through. Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II black camera body and camera flash. Nauticam housing with vacuum pump system & leak detection. Nauticam 45° viewfinder. Nauticam flash trigger. List price for these items was $4,890. I’m not looking to really make any money on the sale since I’ve already gotten my money’s worth out of this rig. So, it’s priced to sell at: $1,000. I just want to see it go to a good home. Free shipping within the US.

Short Tailed Pipefish in the Philippines.

With some coaching from our guide while diving at Atmosphere Resort on the Dauin coast, I was able to spot this Kuro Sapsucking Slug on my own.

Thanks, that clears things up. I also looked at Bluewater Photo's website and they had a pretty good description of the product. Can you order direct from Marelux or should you go through one of their two US dealers? Or does it matter?
