Check out Dive Aventuras. The dive operations are very photographer friendly. Mike and Karen Doody are the owners. Karen is an avid u/w photog - so they know how to cope with u/w photography gear.

My housing has a BIG RED light associated with the leak detector.  On a trip this summer I was checking the integrity of my housing, at night, after setup / change over for the next day's diving by immersing the rig in a big igloo cooler used for the rinse tank.  I noticed a red glow flashing in the cooler - it didn't immediately register what it meant but I quickly pulled my housing out of the water to investigate.  I had neglected to completely close one of the housing latches.  The leak detector saved my a$$.  I learned two things that night - don't do critical things when you are tired from diving all day and move quicker when that RED LIGHT starts blinking.

Nothing was damaged, no harm was done, I was lucky, thank goodness for the leak detector.

OK, you got my attention...
Several of us are booked on the Komodo Dancer's Flores - Alor itinerary in early June.  What kind of weather / conditions can we expect?
