Hello from Nusa Penida !!

Preventive maintenance is a good idea for BCDs' as well. Or it could lead to leaks, self inflating BCD or stuck buttons. Not something we want to deal with when we are in the middle of the ocean.

Our trained and certified technicians are also instructors, they can conduct training to help you maintain your own equipment too.

Contact us if you are interested.

Despite no significant upgrades, the latest Tough...the TG-7 is voted the best underwater compact camera.

We have all the hardware and "software" to help you if you are interested in underwater photography with the TG-7 or 6 or 5. Our "software" has years of experience with the system and was appointed as TG trainer by Olympus. He is also our in-house trainer for underwater photography.

Forget your phone. These compact, pocketable point-and-shoot cameras are more fun and take better pictures.

One of the best time to get the DJI Action 4...prices are super attractive. Plus the adapter from AOI is arriving soon. Get closer and get sharper images with the UWL-03 wide angle correction lens or UCL-03 for close-up lens for smaller subjects.

The adapter works with original DJI housing. The housing is for DJI Action 4 and Action 3

A good article on how macro works on phones and to a certain extent some cameras too. It also describes what "macro" photography actually is.

Your phone doesn't take (real) macro photos... allegedly. Here’s what you need to know about this technical term
