Hello, I usually dive in Costa Brava, and the place that said Davide (Illes Medes) is maybe the most famous site but there are other interesting dive sites. Take note that some diving centers are closed during winter time, not because it is not possible to dive but because there are much less people that wants to. That being said, I love diving in winter, less crowded, I usually do shore diving. Also, some weeks would be hard due to weather conditions. Any question about Costa Brava don’t hesitate to ask.

I thought the WWL-C (Wet wide lens for compact cameras), was only, like the name says, for compact camera and M4/3. According to the Nauticam webpage is what I could find. Just asking. Link WWL-C

Lol, thank you. It has to be funny for sure.😁 I will do it for sure in a couple of months. Let’s hope for the best.

Wow, very nice job, well done!! It will be interesting to know what was the equipment used on the video, if you don’t mind sharing. Cheers.

Hello, Sorry also to hear about the failure. It is a luck that the insurance has paid the full new price for the housing, it has to be a very good insurance. I believe that doesn’t exist in Spain. I am in a similar situation, after looking for some time for a second-hand housing for the D500. I’ve sort of give up and looking for an alternative in S&S. I was thinking about the Z6II, not the III. As far I know S&S won’t make housing for the z6iii in the near future. I don’t know if they will for the z8. I am curious either why so many people hear have Nauticam housing and almost anybody S&S.

About the price, I bet it will double the UWL-03. Also, although it is true that a glass dome is much more resistant to scratches, it is also much more difficult to polish when you get one. I found also quite heavy the original lens.

Damm, I just bought a regular UWL-03 and didn’t tried on the water yet. 😅

Hi Davide, Lol, that was a reality check! Good to know, before I even tried, the battery life reduction itself it’s big a limitation. Thank you very much for the info

Hi bghazzal, I was not thinking about log a as an alternative to filters but as a “add-on”. I will try to give it a try, for what I understand you can always go back to previous firmware in case that “not official” Gopro Lab” doesn’t work. I like the idea also that with that firmware Gopro can read QR codes underwater and change settings alone. Thanks for the info.

I was wondering if anyone has tried GoPro labs and the beta firmware for using “Log”, in the GoPro labs page says: LOGB=logbase,offset - Super experimental, alter the log encoding for more dynamic range, or for a closer match with other camera’s log curves. i.e design your own flat profile. Ideal for use with 10-bit, and the existing flat color setting. P.S. I’m posting here but for not creating a new post, I couldn’t find information about that.

If I’m understanding right, you mount all the housing and camera and put a strap no and simply say that is your camera? And you don’t have problems at all? Mmmm I would have to think about it for doing it myself, the image in the cue with the housing on the shoulders must be epic. 😁 By the way, good staff in this post.

Hi OneYellowTang, You are right, we are taking this route Sin->CGK->SOQ, last week they change the flight time and now the departure is 30 minutes before the scheduled time. The problem was that I did not book the flights in the same itinerary. Thanks for the info 👍 Cheers.

Wow!!!, very wonderful image. Take note of the place and we are going for sure. 👍 Thank you!

Yes, I feel more relaxed now. About the little pricey, I just noticed while looking for an hotel.😅 Thanks. I’m sure it would be good experience. I think we are going to try to photographs some birds in any park. Maybe a little unconventional for Singapore, I guess. Thank you for the info. I didn’t know that, lol. I usually find a lot cheaper flights doing a stopover and change airline, but this time was too tight. For future travels I will take in consideration your recommendation for the flights. I really helps to have only one ticket. Thank for the help.

Finally, for my own health I have changed the flights to a day later. I will have to visit Singapore for 1 day. I still think would be feasible if my first flight is on time, and that is a big IF…😅 Thank you for your help and info. Cheers.

What I would need is late luggage check in instead 😁

I use Lufthansa to arrive to Singapore and then Garuda.

Thanks for the info. Things are getting worst: I have contacted the Airline, in this case Garuda, and has confirmed one thing I didn’t know about it, is that If you lose the first flight of the booking you cannot use any other flight although are from different dates… Mmm that is bad news. First I thought, well the worst that can happen is that I have to buy one more flight ,but is not the case If I don’t manage to do it on time I lose even the return flight… what a policy...🥵 I am considering delaying the flight to the next day, despite losing a day of diving.

Thank for the answer. That makes me keep the faith.😅 Yes there is a train between terminals, that could take us 6-7 minutes. About immigration I will do the SG Arrival card online, that you could do 3 days before arriving there. Our main problem, I think, will be arriving with the luggage on the check-in counter. Next time, I think will follow your advice and take same itinerary, this time for saving some money we took different itinerary, but the level of stress I suspect don’t will be worth the money…

Next November we are going for a trip, the thing is that due to a modification of departure time I have only 2 hours and 10 minutes to make a transit in Changi. I’m arriving to Terminal 2 and will have to clear immigration, collect luggage and arrive to the check-in counter in Terminal 3, one hour before departure. This let us only 1h10’ to make it. I remember for another trip that the immigration clearance was quite fast but I’m unsure that I could make it on time. In case anyone else has had such a tight transit any tip / trick or anything that could make me think is feasible would be appreciate it. Cheers

Thank you. Mine is S&S housing with the S&S 45º viewfinder, I suppose it should be more or less the same. I don’t have vacuum valve system.

I think changing a viewfinder is my worst nightmare. No clue how to do it, and attached in the housing forever 😅

Hi, thank you. My DL07 it’s on his way home, I will have try. 😁 I bought it on discount for a really good price.

For anyone interested, finally I bought for testing the DL07 model. These three other models DL20R, WK20S, DL16 only have spot light, although the beam angle varies from 66º to 78º is refereeing to the “secondary” beam angle of the spot light. For focus light I think is better to have floodlight with lesser power. Although I’m not sure the DL07 in the low brightness floodlight mode would be of any use for focus light. I bought it at a ridiculous price to be honest. Cheers.

Thank you I will have a look! 👍
