Bali dive trip report by Andrea and Antonella Ferrari
FiNS Associate Editors Andrea and Antonella Ferrari recently returned from a two-week trip to Bali, Indonesia, and took the time to writeup a review of the experience.
The article features photographs of unusual species, and takes you through not one, or two, but five different resorts in the clear, descriptive writing style present in so much of the Ferrari’s work.

DEMA 2006: People pictures, Nov 9
During my first year at DEMA four years ago, I was able to wander around the halls totally unnoticed. These days it is very difficult to cover the show because I get stopped in the hallway every ten feet! But it’s these reunions combined with the opportunity for serendipitous business deals that make DEMA so much fun. And did I mention how much I love Orlando?
DEMA 2006: Patima
Patima had quite a few products on display including a housing for Sony’s HC1 HD camcorder, housed E-TTL and iTTL flashes for Canon and Nikon digital SLRs (respectively), a modeling light, a strange-but-interesting arm light, and a housed high-resolution personal multimedia player (PMP).
DEMA 2006: SeaLife
Pioneer Research’s popular SeaLife cameras showed off two new products at DEMA this year. First was the DC600 Digital Camera, an update to the older DC500. The DC600 is 6.1 megapixels and offers a new “spy mode”, which sets the camera to automatically take multiple, time-delayed shots until stopped. So by setting the camera down and swimming away, a diver might be able to capture images of critters that are particularly shy. I think it’s cool that companies like SeaLife are putting in such interesting new features into their products.
DEMA 2006: NiteRider - Dive Lights International
