I have just read that the domestic Airline from Tonga, Lulutai has been grounded in the light of serious safety violations. 🤪 That was published the 25th July 2025. Lulutai neews

Thank you very much lylefk, As Troporobo has said great info! And stunning images as well!! Going with a group is kind of hard for us, the only possibility is going solo (with wife). My dream would be a boat of 2 with the whales, being also kind of antisocial that would be great, no talk, only swim. 😅🤣 I have seen that for example in Tongan expeditions, have very few days available for September 2026. Thanks again, Cheers.

Wow,!! congrats!!

I have used in the past some tyre balancing weights and I wouldn’t recommend it. After a few dives they began to rust.

As an update: I have contacted several operators and it seems almost all are fully booked for September 2026, that’s wild. I thought people would book early, but I didn't imagine it would be this early. Wow. You have to book before even being able to know the flights schedule and price… I have mainly focus in Eua and Haapai, contacting almost every resort that appears in the website Troporobo has linked. I hope I'm not mistaken, with so much haste...

Thank you very much scubadiggy. I will have a look. Also, stunning image you have!!! Love it.

Wow, stunning videos and images! Thanks for the info. What island were you on?

Thank you very much Troporobo. I will have a look. Cheers.

Wow, thanks for sharing. Stunning images. I just added it to my diving bucket list. 😅

Thank you very much Troporobo for the good piece of information, it will be very useful. Could you recommend any of the operators you have look at? The ones that I have seen are much more expensive than that.

Thank you very much Chris I will have a look.

Hello, I'd like to ask about snorkeling with whales in Tonga. Has anyone been and can recommend a good local operator? Is Tonga worth in front of French Polynesia for example? It's a destination that has always caught my attention, but because of how expensive it is I've never been able to go. Thank you very much.

Thank you. With so many lens that Nauticam have is headache for the people like me, not used to Nauticam, knowing what piece of equipment is the one being used.

Could you give more details about what wet lens and what kit zoom are you using? Ty.

Hi bghazzal, makes complete sense! Thank you very much for the input. Initially had in mine do mainly wide angle in Komodo, but seeing some macro picture and taking in consideration that I am going from resort, that means three dives but without real possibility to change setup on the boat, the paranoia of two rigs started. 😅 Thanks again for the help, much appreciate it. Cheers.

Hi there, I would like to ask for advice. Context: we are going to Komodo and Bali next October. My current setup is Nikon D500 with Isotta housing, but I have still the old rig (D300+S&S). My two main lenses are Nikon 105 or 85 mm for macro and Tokina 10-17 Fisheye (sometimes + kenko) for wide. The thing is that I’m starting to think that maybe I could dive with both rigs, for having macro and wide. Does anyone has dived with 2 complete rigs; am I totally nuts? Or better forget the idea and mount macro or wide and live with it? 😅

Very good images! Can you share the equipment used?

"Most bang" I suppose means good right? 😅

Wow, I have discovered that I already have it at home, the Spanish edition from year 2000, translation of the third German edition. 😅😅

I had looked it up just out of curiosity. I never would have bought it for the price listed in the link I posted. 😂 But thank you for the links you provide. Although, my German is zero 😅

I was searching for this book and found a copy on amazon for 605€...😆 amazon link

I had always used the black ones, Pro, and never had a fail.

Really? I had always believed that higher mAh, and therefore higher capacity, meant longer battery duration. I need that powerpoint 😅

I think that the whites one are only up to 2000 mAh, while the pro are up to 2500.
