Enelym1978 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 That's not what I meant by worse case scenario. What I meant is: if there is an odd number of participants, then you would be paired up with one of the staff. Nothing bad in that They are all fun.

transference Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey guys, am planning a trip to anilao in the phils between 12-24 dec, but not the whole period.Anilao is mostly (rare!) macro, but there are awesome coral reefs too. Not much chance of pelagic encounters though.Interested parties pm me! You must be at least an aow diver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 How much is usually cost for the camera case? You can find cases from any price range... depends on which camera it's for, how deep you wanna go with it, etc... Canon for example has these: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/underwater_photo I use a digital camera (PanasonicLumix FT3) which is enough for snorkeling and shallow dives but for deeper scuba diving, you need a case. Price ranges from as low as $80 and can go up to thousands... Buy online in the US is relatively cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Here are the videos uploaded to Youtube now. So the first one is a nudibranch of course And the second one was our math test during the deep dive haha. With some funny faces. All shot on GoPro3 Black Edition. Had some problems with the white balancing though, that's why it looks so green.... Edited October 11, 2013 by Enelym1978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ahwei12 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 These videos are reminding me of my advanced open water course.Btw, how much you bought for the GoPro3?The resolution is quite satisfy but felt sad for the colour problem.

Enelym1978 Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) The GoPro3 is awesome but the water conditions were not good and somehow, the videos turned out greenish. But if you look at the last 3rd video (not sure why it did not embed in here), it's blue. It did wonderfully during my paragliding in Nepal and I see lots of videos online from diving trips (where water was crystal clear) and they turn out great. I bought it in HK, where it's a bit cheaper. I can't remember exactly though.... somewhere around $600 I think?

Lovensick Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Will your gopro3 have battery life issue? The one I was using can barely go past 30 minutes... which is kind of a step down from gopro2... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enelym1978 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 If you use the LCD screen, yes the battery will go very quickly... unfortunately. It's so tiny, the batter can't stay on that long but if you don't use the LCD screen, it should be fine. Practice in aiming without the screen, when you're home or something, so you won't need it when you dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ok so I came back from my diving trip in Cebu/Moalboal/Oslob during the holidays. It was just amazing! Stayed in a nice little family resort, amazing snorkeling and diving, got to see the whale sharks in Oslob. Perfect! Here are some pics. More details if someone wants to go to those places. Whale Sharks in Oslob (about 1h30 drive if leave Cebu at 5am). If you leave too late, it's super crowded and the traffic is a mess. Asian Belgian Dive Resort in Moalboal. About 2h30 drive from Cebu. They do pick up for 2500 PHP but a taxi is cheaper from Cebu, 1500 PHP On the way back from Oslob, we stopped at the famous Kawasan waterfalls. Worth a short trip since it's on the way back.Then we stopped at the Taloot Pier/Wharf for some fresh seafood. You get to walk on this bamboo bridge to reach the restaurant on top of the water. And hello, that's me hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what are the cost of air fares, lodging etc will be? Yes it is quite a "hassle" and a bit of a long flight out of Singapore. The rare airlines that fly there, that I know of:- Asiana (through Seoul)- Korean Air (Seoul)- United (Hong Kong + Guam, Manilla)- Delta (through Narita)- China Airlines (Taipei)- TransAsia (Taipei)- ANA (Narita)- JAL (Narita, Nagoya, Osaka) But beware, some of these flights might need 2 stops and take forever (and some are chartered flights, so might not be operated every day or all year long).... Price ranges from $1300-$2000+ I'll be flying to Seoul cuz I have a biz trip there and then I booked Seoul - Koror on Asiana with my miles.
