It needs to go to at least 30mtrs, price is not as important as how easy it is to use and the picture quality.

The Luna Divider asked:


My mom and myself have been arguing this for awhile. I’ve heard that the Falls are as deep as they are tall, so he wouldn’t be smashed to pieces by rocks when he went under. I also say that he would be able to breath, though with some difficulty, giving him enough time to swim away and up to slightly calmer waters.

I also say that the pressure of the water wouldn’t matter, because divers and trained to handle water pressure at the bottom of the ocean.

My mom says he would be hammered and crushed by the water pounding down on him. She also says that there are rocks, regardless of the depth of the Falls. These factors would result in the diver’s demise, according to her.

Who is right?

George asked:


“The Magnet” in South-East Lombok, is a pinnacle in the open sea. It rises from a depth of about 80m and can be reached in approximately 25 minutes from the mainland. The pinnacle lies in an area amidst strong currents and it’s constantly battered by waves and big surge. Due to its location the trip to the dive site can already be quite spectacular.

Apart from the prevailing currents, the surge can reach down to a depth of over 20 meters. Diving here, the sighting of school of hammerhead sharks, barracudas, tunas, and other pelagic life is quite realistic. Apart from mantas and eagle rays, also mola mola have occasionally been sighted there. Due to the existing rough conditions at “The Magnet” we recommend diving here only to the more experienced diver!

In the beginning of 2007 the local government decided to build a light tower on the protruding pinnacle, in order to make the boat traffic in the area more save and manageable. As the seas are quite rough in the area, unfortunately one of the construction barges had to drop it’s load, so it could make it back to save harbor.

Now, in April 2008, were joined by 10 instructors from Gili Trawangan to do an initial assessment and cleanup of the damage. After descending to around 40 meters at the north wall, we made our way around to the east side of the pinnacle and found around 1 – 2 tons of sand and cement bags, as well as building iron scattered amongst the bottom. The bottom time and the necessary equipment being the problem, we brought up a mere 50 kilos of debris, but still we were quite successful in planning our next steps, as now the situation is clear. We will now fit a barge with the necessary equipment, such as double tanks compressor, nets and lift bags, etc., as well as a number of ambitious divers, and hopefully over the next few months we’ll get “The Magnet” cleaned up.

As starting in May, up until September, it is the season for the hammerhead sharks, and our efforts may be hampered and delayed until the end of the year, as during this season the sea in South East Lombok is at its roughest. Also most of our friends who want to help will be busy during this time of year, all work in the diving industry and the mentioned time is also the high season on Lombok, this project will be fairly long term. If you are an experienced diver, or a person interested in marine conservation, we’ll be happy to hear from you with your comments and suggestions at dive@divezone-lombok.com

the martin asked:


I am planning to visit the Perhentian islands in Malaysia.
I want to do snorkelling and Scuba Diving.
Looking at the seasons recommended to go I am quite late: mid to end of September.
Do you still have clear sight underwater at that time of the year? And is the sea not too rough to snorkle?

If yes, which alternative would you recommend which is better at that time of the year?
Also what else is there to see on the way from singapore?

ltjlogic asked:


I was in Mexico last week and while snorkeling I saw guy with a tiny digital camera (without housing). It was very small and skinny (like the Sony T10). Does any know which camera this could be? I loved it because it doesn’t require a separate housing! Thanks!

easylikesundayz asked:


I’m really hoping that the monsoon doesnt play spoilsport on my trip to Krabi. I’m staying in Au Nang beach so that I have access to other activities. What im dying to do is to see the beautiful small islands around Krabi including that of Phi Phi and I want to know if thats possible in early June. Just worried if the rainy season puts an end to those sight-seeing options. Someone help me (give me good news)!!

WWWNTHEFLORIDAKEYS asked:

http://www.n-the-florida-keys.com The Florida Keys had lots of shipwrecks as artificial reefs for scuba divers and snorkelers to enjoy. They become encrusted with corals, sponges and all kinds of marine life in no time. They provide home for lots of fish. Jewfish, shark, grouper and cobia are just a few of the fish that live here.
