stphnmartin 115 Posted May 2, 2019 Back in March it took a dive trip to Central Sulawesi to Tompotika Dive lodge. One of the great things about this destination is it's the only dive operator in the area so it's just you and your friends on each dive site! Sites are varied from Raja Ampat-esque reefs to Anilao-like muck dives. The lodge is right on the beach and there's a muck house reef. Dive sites are usually around 10 - 30 minutes away on the boat. I shot the GH5 in a nauticam housing with an 8mm, 12-50mm and 60mm with a cmc-1.Comments and critiques are welcomed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBGKdzHcaAY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phxazcraig 116 Posted May 27, 2019 I've never been to Sulawesi - what's the travel like to get there? (I'd be coming from Phoenix, so west coast starting point). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimG 62 Posted May 28, 2019 I've never been to Sulawesi - what's the travel like to get there? (I'd be coming from Phoenix, so west coast starting point). Easiest way maybe is to get to Singapore then, if North Sulawesi (Lembeh etc), flight to Manado. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stphnmartin 115 Posted May 28, 2019 I've never been to Sulawesi - what's the travel like to get there? (I'd be coming from Phoenix, so west coast starting point I'm in Seattle and went Seattle > Taipei > Jakarta > Makassar > Luwuk. Yep, 4 flights, with 8 hours in the Jakarta Airport--got a room at the hotel to rest. At the end of all the flying is a 3 hour van ride. The upside to the distance is you will not see other dive operators in the area! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Interceptor121 766 Posted May 30, 2019 I think this is a video where the aerial and land footage looks really great and the editing is really good too In the underwater section the close up work is really neat while the wide angle has plenty of clipping like the camera is not coping with the dynamic range of the scenes in the section around 4:20 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
