  1. Hello

     

    Which lense should I use there ?????

     

    Thank

  2. Palau and Cocos Island? Here would be my suggestions

     

    Palau - 3 lenses:

    1) Mid range zoom in the 17-50 range for sharks (Blue Corner)

    2) Fisheye such as a 10-17 Tokina for Mantas in German Channel, Blue Hole, and Jellyfish Lake. or a 12-24?

    3) Macro - 100mm or 60mm for mandarin fish

     

    Cocos

    1) Fisheye or other wide lens

    2) 60mm macro - if you end up doing the dive for Redlip Batfish

  3. Girelle,

     

    At Cocos, I like the Nikon 16mm FE (or Sigma 15mm FE) for most dives, and the 10.5mm FE for the night dives with whitetips. 10.5 might also work for the jacks at Dirty Rock. I've never shot macro there (4 trips).

     

    Have fun!
