Nice!

wow thanks sifu for the sample picture for with/without red filter, now i really get to understand clearly.

The settings of yours above is the setting in go pro? Can I know what red filter u using or where u got it? I bought one but it seems too thick until all the picture & video i took is in red color...

Hi guys, pardon me if the question that I'm gonna ask is quite out of topic.

I'd like to ask abt this volunteer project, Help Our Penyu (HOPE)

http://www.grassrootsjourneys.com/explore/...help-our-penyu/

is this a "valid" project? I need to pay around 1.2k for two weeks of this volunteer project.

I know that these turtle projects needs you to pay quite an amount.
since it is affiliated with Bubbles maybe you could call them and ask.
I know that bubbles have a turtle conservation projects but not sure if HOPE is part of it.

This sounds like a project b5n111 told me about, but I don't know what the name was. Maybe he can confirm.

he using Backscatter red filter flip 3.1.

i m tapao D6i ... reason because of compass and gas switching during dive ... d4i cannot switch gases...

Thank you for the useful info!

Thanks pal, will pm when I'm free

no budget lor... i think goPro at Mide offer better explanation and better package including red filter + monopod stuff... or would it be the same price if buy in retail?

If you use the gopro for taking landscape videos only, it's not necessary.

I don't have a pic of my setup, but it's similar to this:

Which one do you have? Try and get another one, and only buy filters that other people have reviewed before...

I had the Polar filter, it worked well but broke. I am using the Backscatter Flip red filter now.

I'm not quite sure bout this volunteer group but I can suggest you to another group and I knew them quite well. Most active 'volunteer' group in Perhentian. They are the Ecoteer Team, you can google them out and they've started this https://www.facebook.com/perhentianturtleproject Most of the dive centre are affiliated with them, including my shop.


Eh, V6 already?

Hi heavensea,
I have no personal experience with Hope. Are u referring to their project at perhentian bubble dive resort? I visited bubble dive resort 2 yr ago, they r a eco aware resort and run a turtle awareness or conservation program. Personal observation, Its a well run program with the knowledge n right attitude then. But 50-100 nestings a season, kinda low if I recall rightly...

Bubble Dive Resort Conservation

I attended another conservation at madaerah terengganu by WWF and also visited Juara Tioman turtle camp.. Neither worth mentioning further ...

Seatru conservation program by UMT, I attended this program twice. 8 volunteers per week for Rm700 now, with 2-3 research assistants on site at their designated Chagar Hutan beach, Redang island.

No hotel here, light off after dinner... 2 wooden buildings houses the male n female sleeping areas, kitchen n makan area, lepak n knowledge area but we were normally slept on the beach with canvas n sleeping bags under the stars filled sky n natural music by wave...

Volunteers...
1. Daytime, Patrol the 500m beach, prevent predator eg, monitor lizard stealing telor
2. Late afternoon, migrate Nesting in high risk zone, dig n throw away left over shell by baby turtle.....
3. After dinner, walk the private beach for visiting mama turtle, assist research assistant for required data, Eg, time the mama lands, sand bath, egg.... Touching the mama for measurement, shake hands with her for tagging....

Seatru @ Chagar Hutan 30-60 nestings a week roughly from may to Aug.

There is another program at melaka which I know too little.. Google..

Turtle island at Sandakan Sabah, manages by Sabah Park has 30-50 nestings a night but we can visit as tourists only, not sure if there s any volunteer program now... Used to b rm5-10 per entry but was privatised....

After a turtle program, we must agree Female is Hot!

During MIDE would be cheaper but if got other fairs also it should be cheap. Not sure if there is a camera fair.

hahhaa... buy the best within my budget ... so later when heading advance, no need to get a new one... (hopefully)

now thinking of transmitter... how much per unit or anyone willing to let go?!

The one filter my friend bought from Ebay with 6 bucks.

Polar filter will works as fine as red filter under water? can I know how much was it for the polar filter & red filter when you buy them?

The last i checked, suunto transmitter is going from 800+ to 1k.


There is another turtle sanctuary worth mentioning that is legit and said to be one of the cheapest around.
