A small selection of photos from Wednesday diving on the artificial reef of the former HMAS Brisbane off the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Few more can be found on my website http://mattiovaska.com

Hi There, Finally getting some good diving weather here on the east coast of Australia and managed to get out for a couple of dives at Byrong Bay at Julian Rocks. Fantastic dives with Manta Rays and mulitple Leopard Sharks ( at one point counted at least a dozen visible at one time). The link below will show what Byron Bay has to offer.

I hope that you enjoy the photos half as much as me experiencing the sights while diving.

Hi There,

 

Instead of a diving trip late last year I went on 2 month trip to India and Nepal. I started in Nepal and went on a hiking trip into the Annapurna Sanctuary followed by a few days around Pokhara and Kathmandu. From there I went to India with two main area travelled in Ladahk in the very most northern parts of India and Rajasthan. I also did the tourist thing and visited Agra and Varanasi. I hope that you enjoy the photos as much as I did taking them .

Hi There,

I have got an Aquatica 5D MKII housing up for sale.

Housing is in good condition the only things different from original standard supply are:

· The housing has deep rated springs so housing rated for 120m instead of 90m (factory installed).
· I have disconnected the cable from the hydrophone, as I didn’t find it really useful and had to be careful when putting on the back cover that the cable didn’t get caught in the o-ring. I have heard of people flooding cameras due to this cable so I felt it safer to not have it and remove the risk.
· I also have two zoom/focus gears that I won't be needing. These are the 18708 for the Canon EF16-35 MKII lens and the other was the 18702 which was for the Canon 15mm Fisheye which I have machined to suit the Canon EF8-15mm Fisheye Zoom. Never used it on the 15mm Fisheye as the generous focus range and quick focus but very useful now as a zoom gear for the 8-15mm fisheye.

I was thinking $2200-2500. you can have both gears if you want as I won't be needing them, sorry but I don't have a spare port.

If you want more details or photos then send me a message

Hi There,

I have just completed my book on travels in Raja Ampat and Ahe Island (Cenderawasih Bay) in West Papua Indonesia in October last year. You can look at it via the followiong link.
