. But with the use of the Bak-4 prism, the small size of the lens is deemed unimportant.
All-in-all the Olympus 8X25 WP I binoculars are great for camping trips or for destinations with pleasant views. And with the range of features to make your viewing experience all the more easier as well as being waterproof, it can prove to be money well spent. Other binoculars, which are in the same price range are fairly similar but have the disadvantage of not being waterproof. There are also may better than this but have a price tag which exceeds over £200. It is stated that the Olympus 8X25 WP I binoculars are intended for professional use, but I like to think of them as all round use for everyday people.

Advantages: Interesting exhibits Disadvantages: lack of disabled access
I've passed by the RSS Discovery many times without visiting and when I had some Tesco days out vouchers to use up I decided to visit as it is next door to the Olympia leisure centre which the kids love visiting.
The Royal Research Ship Discovery is the ship which Captain Scott used for his groundbreaking Antarctic expedition in 1901 and it has now been lovingly restored and sits in a custom built dock on the Firth of Tay near to the famous Tay road bridge.
