Pics from Indonesia

Hey all,

Just back from a dive holiday to Indonesia (Tulamben and Alor) where I had an excellent time! Here are some pics taken using a Canon A570 IS in the Canon housing. Happy diving all :-)

Wonderful, fun series! I'm loving the last one. I'm a sucker for color and texture combinations.

Thanks for sharing your images with us. Where did you stay and would you recommend the resorts/operations?

Cheers,

Steve

Love the last one as well. Blown away by the FOUR Rhinopias. Would love info. on where/who with.

Best,

Steve

Beautiful Images!

I especially love the seastar photo...

Thanks for the kind comments all!

In Tulamben I just turned up, and stayed and dived with Aqua Dive Paradise, they have a few nice clean bungalows / rooms next to the dive shop, which is located almost in front of the Liberty wreck. Great guides who showed me all sorts of things I'd have otherwize missed!

For Alor, I stayed at La Petite Kepa, where I had an excellent time diving with Cedric and the crew. He can show you the divesites in Kalabahi Bay where the various rhinopias fishies can be found. Kepa is a wonderful little island to stay on. Traditional thatched bungalows (and a couple of larger, family sized bungalows with sunset views), solar power lighting in the evenings, great communal meals cooked by Bibi Nene using local market produce, and an interesting mix of backpackers and divers staying at this friendly homestay / resort. Highly recomended!

Definitively , it's not the camera which do the good photographer !!Such beautiul pics with the small A570IS !!

Congratulations !!

Wow! Beautiful photos and such incredible creatures. I can't believe that seastar - it looks like some sort of fractal image.
