Shot both video and still. Land facility's were excellent, with seperate rinse tanks, a dry room with work stations for working on cameras with transformers and both 110v & 200v recepticles. Computers and televisions for digital. They accomodated my still photo's with E-6 drop off each day in town. No facility on boats for cameras. |

I found the dive and resort staff to be among the most accomodating I have ever found in my travels. The rooms were very comfortable and the food was great with many choices The diving here does not lend itself to big animals, but the diversity of animals is incredible. Frog fish, pipefish, flambuoyant cuddlefish, mantis shrimp, ribbon eels and tons of variety. Best to think macro when photographing here, but then again some of the frog fish are the size of cats. Only negative was the lack of accomodation for cameras on the boats. On one afternoon I was the only diver and they did not hesitate to take me out for two dives. Long travel, but well worth the effort. |
