Spear fishing is sustainable if done few diving and does not lead to little fish. Dinamite and nets instead decimate the animals Anyway I will report back my finding in a short time

Have had two separate weeks diving Bunaken - last time was 2009. Personally I was disappointed in the fish life - lots of pretty, small stuff but very little of any size except the occasional very wary blacktip. Medium sized fish - eg butterflyfish and such like - were very wary and difficult to approach but then there is a lot of spearfishing goes on there so that is not too surprising. Local people on the Bunaken islands are allowed to spearfish to catch fish for subsistence but not for sale and we saw lots of them doing this.

A few Bangka area "pretty reefs" shots, just in order to illustrate my point above. You won't find those in Bunaken :

Am going to bunaken so now am a bit concerned
Shots similar to those I have take. Pretty much everywhere I have been it is close focus wide angle.
Does it mean there is no fish in bunaken?!

A friend of mine has the Canon G11 with the proprietary housing. This housing does not have a threaded port or any other mount for wet WA lenses.

I have boosted about how much a good WA lens would do, hower with this housing what are his options? With an adapter there should be a selection of fish eye and rectilinears avaiable?


How about the "BigEye Lens G Series", he got an offer to buy a scratched one, but these does not seem to be that wide.


Cheers

The G11/G12 in orm housing have no wide angle option at best you can buy an air dome to restore the air field of view

It is possible that the +7 is on land and the +6 is in water

However if it says focal length 10cm it is actually a +10.

I would think it is most likely a +6 in water and I do not believe Bluewater are in bad faith

It is possible that Dyron gets them done in Japan

It says focal length 10 cm that would be a +10 diopter but maybe in water it looses power and becomes less?

What is the spec it has been sold to you?
