I-NSC

Hi fellows photographers, my name is Ivan and I am based in Singapore. Aquatica AEM1MKII user and also working with an Aquatica authorised service center in Asia. Can we do a roll call of our fellow users around the world and which system you are currently using?

Good day Chris, I do have one second hand #5510.24 Port Extension that one of my clients is looking to sell from Singapore. Will include a brand new #0132.41 o-ring. Port extension and o-ring is S$135/- + Paypal service fee of 4.5% + S$1/-. Shipping to Australia by registered post is S$20/-. Total with Paypal fee is S$155 * (4.5%+S$1) = S$162.98/- As you might know, any registered mail sent to Australia will not be trackable once it is handed over to Australian Post. I am not sure why either.

Thank you Tim. Right after posting this, I received the contact for Vladimir as well and within the last hour, Harald wrote back to my email to say that they are closed this week for the National Holidays and will get back to me on Monday when they return to work.

Greetings fellow photographers, I like to enquire with fellow photographers who are using Subal systems and how if any have they had any issues with their system go about getting it resolved. ​A friend of mine / client purchased a brand new D800 for a real bargain a year ago but was unable to use it due to work. Only this year was he able to test the system and on his first dive, he reported that there was a leak in the housing. After returning the housing to me, I tested it in the chamber and found that after 8m, water was indeed leaking into the housing from one of the push button assemblies on the top left of the front housing. Needless to say, for a new housing that was not used, I took the conservative side and changed the o-rings on the push buttons assembly and tested it again. Alias, that did not work and this time I in the chamber, I was certain that the module that was holding the push button assembly (as seen in the photo) was leaking from the screw mount that holds the extenders in position. I tried messaging Subal via their Facebook page, emailed to Harald and also to their office@subal.com address but have not received any replies, though their FB messenger indicates that my messages were read. Contacted Alex Mustard too if he knew anyone there too but even that came to a dead end. The local dealers listed on their website have also told me that they do not deal with Subal nor stock any of their parts. All I like is to get a reply and purchase a replacement module shipped to me so that my friend is able to use his housing. Not asking for any warranty claim or anything if any. Neither does it sound economical to have the housing sent back from Asia to Europe just to have the module replaced. What are your thoughts about this?

Items are still available. Apologies for the delayed reply as I was totally out and still am out of the diving circuit due to back injury.

Thank you Leslie, I will look into the acoel worms to see if there are any other similarities and information. It is interesting to know that it is something not too observed due to it's size but when your waiting for a videographer dive buddy and looking around at a single spot, you tend to notice the smallest of things moving on the ground.

Dear Leslie, I am afraid that I do not have any other images of the subject as I lost most of the images when my HDD crashed.

Glad to hear that your strobe is working again.

Interesting... thanks Jim. Will have to read up on the papers.

It is not a nudibranch as it does not have any gills or rhinophores nor is it an underwater banana. It does crawl and is about 5mm in length. The head is on the left while the body is almost circular instead of flat. Shot in Mataking, Sabah, Malaysia in the day, at the depth of 12m. What could it be? I have initially asked around and one results I received was a juvenile sea cucumber. Can anyone verify and confirm? Appreciate your viewing and comments.

To start 2008, I like to wish all in MDC Happy New Year by starting the season off with some of my images. I dedicate (slowly in this thread) my love for Lembeh, North Sulawesi Indonesia through these images. Note: *Please show some morals by not plagiarizing my works*
