I've also been watching the press about the E-M5 with interest. More details about the Olympus housing seem to have appeared in the last few days:http://www.olympus-europa.com/consumer/pen-camera_pen_21693_accessory_pt-ep08_25870.htm

I'd be interested in any informed speculation about whether this is likely to be any good, or whether you think other manufacturers will produce housings.

I know more info will trickle out in time but I'm traveling overseas in about 3 wks. If I can decide on my next camera before then I can reclaim the tax and get to know the camera before the housings arrive!

We will be returning to Wakatobe for the 5th consecutive year in April 2012. It is the best land based diving I have encountered and is only rivaled by a few liveaboard destinations and out-of-the way locations that take more time and adventure than I am willing to tolerate and have accommodations that are substandard.

One can get a flavor of the resort from the site page (www.wakatobi.com).

However, here are my two trip reports from my 2011 visit:

We spent a fabulous 10 days there in Nov 2011, and It certainly is the most fabulous destination. The only problem we had the whole week was finding a finger size dead space on the reef to steady yourself for a shot!
The boats and crew were all great as well. Highly recommended...
