This article was first published on Wetpixel in November 2010. Down the years, I have tried to review the important digital Nikon SLRs Ð the ones that have introduced new technology with the promise of taking our images further. Typically these tend to be flagship models, which showcase the new features before they filter down through the Nikon range. Small in size, but packed with many pro-level features, such as 100% viewfinder, 14-bit A/D converter and 1/320th flash synch.Dive Savaii - Sites
All islands of the island group of Samoa are surrounded by a protecting reef. Separated from the surrounded seam reef, beautiful snorkeling areas of turquoise blue lagoons encircle most of the islands. Towards the open seas, the external reef breaks the water, forming a white foam belt around the snow-white beaches of Samoa.

Scuba Diving in Vanuatu has two main epicentres, Efate and Santo. Both have a wide range of dive sites and diving services. Snorkelling can be done just about anywhere and on all the islands - but you may have to bring your own gear if you are headed for rural areas. Almost every Vanuatu resort has snorkelling gear available and there are lots of snorkelling tours and excursions but the Vanuatu village bungalows generally do not have snorkelling gear.

Darwin's Jellyfishes
Palau's remarkable marine lakes are portraits of evolution in action 08-01-2006 // Pamela S. TurnerA virtually untouched series of limestone islands is now easy for Australians to reach, writes David Barbeler for The Age Traveller. As a Westerner who's visited numerous stunning countries corrupted by tourism, I initially had trouble understanding why the people of Palau were getting so excited. Located 800km east of the Philippines, the Republic of Palau is a series of more than 250 limestone islands virtually untouched by tourists. Many compare it to the feel of Bali 30 years ago.
