Nice shots, like the panoramas.  Would like to try a resort, have you ever done a liveaboard in the same area?  How do the compare?

I would start with the 17-40 or the 16-35.  Get your solo hammerhead, sealion shots in the can.  Then once you have those put on the 15mm and you can go for the big school shots and if lucky up close whale shark shots.  

The Arenui 14 day trip is just about perfect, you hit all the major spots.  On our last trip we missed the Pier and Sweetlip Rock.  I was so happy I had the OMD and Lumix 8mm.  But as mentioned I just think it is the best all around diving in the world.  We ended with Giant Mantas, a first for us!

My wife named this Giant Manta Frosty, she stayed and played the whole dive.

I had a Super Dome, $1200 that had a serious scratch, dead center.  Novus is meant for acrylic domes but thought "what the heck" the port is trashed as is.  Went to the Auto store and bought a foam car polisher that would fit on a hand drill.  So for about $40 and 15-20 minutes of time was able to buff the deep scratch out to the point the dome worked fine.  $1160 saved.  

I totally understand the process you two are going through, lol.  The motivator for me is a better half that does not do the editing but wants to "see and enjoy the trip again".  Happy wife, happy....
