Being a photographer at Froggies Underwater photographers and videographers are very bizarre divers. They are slow, spend a lot of time on the same subject, always complain about the visibility and want their cameras and housings to be treated as very fragile babies. If you are one of them, don't worry. At Froggies, we understand you. We love our underwater realm and really appreciate that people could spend time, energy and money trying to bring nice images from the sea. We know as well how difficult it is. Hence we will always try to group you with other divers handling cameras. We will as well assign you with our most experienced guides, who are used to find subjects according to your desires and your specific type of equipment. "What do you want to see today?" That will be the question to you! And for your baby, you will probably appreciate that a big fresh bucket of water will always be waiting on the boat after the dive. Warning The dilemma of wall diving: Concentrate on the tiny rare creatures living on the corals and you'll miss the passing shark behind you. Drift in the blue scanning for turtles or (why not) mola-molas and you will miss the ghost pipefish hidden in the crinoid. Bunaken is both for macro and wide-angle, which can really be confusing. Bring all what you have and if you really have to choose, concentrate on macro. Some tips Based on our experience, we shall give you the following advice: As a general recommendation, you'll have to bring everything that you might need, with as much spare as possible. No equipment can be bought or even repaired neither on Bunaken nor in Manado. Bring enough of your own film, as you can't find any on Bunaken. Classic negative film can be purchased on Manado but you can definitely forget about finding decent slides films. Negative film can be developed on Manado, we can arrange it for you. But we unfortunately can't guarantee the results. If you shoot slides, you'll have no choice than keeping your rolls undeveloped until you reach back home. That's the challenge! Same advice for batteries: bring your own high quality alkalines and please do dispose them properly (our staff will help you on this). We highly recommend the use of rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries for long stays at our resort. The power is 220 V, euro plug. If you need a lot of power (big strobes or video lights), you might even want to bring spare batteries to cope with any power supply shortage (quite rare but that can occur).
