Default Layang Layang

Hi

Am heading for my first trip to Layang Layang next month

Would like to know what kind of DSLR set up would be ideal (ie would you dived with a 60mm macro lens or 10-20mm zoom wide angle or standard lens (18-55mm) set up) when diving there? I have no intention to bring all three lens set up (maybe 1 or 2 max), too much on baggage weight.

Any suggestions from you guru(s) or advice from those that have dived there?

Thank you.

Hi hx632

Am just following the crowd (friends) who decided upon the destination. I am just tagging along since I have not been there. As for hammerheads, I have seen them before in the Maldives.

Does that mean 8mm Fisheye can do the job? Ain't the hammers far?
