OH YAA, if any of wetpixel members is going to lembeh during that time, please let me know. I hope i can meet any members from wetpixel.com

Lembeh actually has some very nice reefs, especially towards the North, but also in the shallows at some of the sites near KBR (e.g. Pante Perigi, etc.) If you don't have any weight restriction issues, I'd recommend that you bring the 10.5mm along.

I remember doing adrift dive on the wall / shelf just in front of the lighthouse - lots of yellow soft corals , tubestrea everywher and zillions of fans and anthias.

The was a lot of nets that seemed to be hung up on the rocks that were home to all sorts of things. It actually made a great hand hold for a rest in the current ( which was pretty strong )

It was a great way to break up 3 weeks of muck and crittures.

Have fun Andree

I'm arriving into Lembeh on Oct 30.

Don't scare away all of the critters!

There is also the large wreck closer to Bitung for WA also. I would bring it for some of the dives but, ingeneral macro will be your focus.

Cheers

I'd add a Woody's diopter to your kit for itsy-bitsy stuff. The wreck provided some nice W/A which would be a good contrast for your macro shots in a show. But we did find macro subjects on top and even a blue-rigged Octo in the nearby shallows.

Jack

that's a lot of information for me,

thanks a lot

tonight i will try to fit all the gear inside my Lowepro nature tracker backpack.

If everything can fit inside this backpack, then i will bring the 10,5 + the new optical domport from sea&sea.

Once again, thank you

Andree

To Larry Chan, dont worry i wont scare all the creatures there hehehe
