New Toy for the Captain


Watch out for some cracking new photo's on this (and I'm not sponsored by Sony, wish I was :-) the Captain's new toy. Sony DSC-W300 with an Ikelite Compact housing and W20 Wide Angle lens.

With the underwater white balance setting its producing great results at depths of 30mtrs as can be seen from the soon to be posted Temple Garden and Canyon Wreck photos.

Anyone looking for something compact and full of features, manual plus auto, without breaking the bank or the baggage allowance. Then this is the toy to get. Highly recommended by the Captain.

An thus it was Temple Garden was made for them all to play in. Lighting incense is a bit of a bugger though so bring a torch instead. Lost city of Pemuteran? Ancient pose for happy divers.... Diver checks watch to see what century she's in. ZOMBIE BUDDA!... Swim away, swim away..... Deeply Deco Spirits. Petrified sweetlipped turtle. And finally a communion of spirits. The facts: Sank in 2005 as part of the still ongoing Reef Gardeners project. This little dive has become an interesting change from the reefs of Pemuteran. The often hazy vis creates a wonderfully spooky atmosphere. Home to nudis and Electric clams, Temple Wall (or Pura Tembok) above also offers a lot of , well stuff to look at. Personally I prefer the ancient gods story ;-) Om Santi Santi Om. The Captain
