Down by the temple

Yesterday was a good day to pray

Hanging out in Temple Garden, Pemuteran, NW Bali
Sabine and Katrin hanging out at the temple gates.

Nudibranch seeking wisdom at the feet of Buddha, Temple Garden, Pemuteran, NW Bali

Nice little Nudi rests in contemplation at the base of Buddha statue.

Way cool and very difficult to photograph hairy lobster or is it crap? Temple Garden, Pemuteran, NW Bali
Hairy lobster or crab, I forget.

Vis was so so, with lots of large particles in the water but otherwise a great dive as usual.

More photo's can be found on the new Facebook page

Sea Rovers Dive Centre, Bali's Facebook Page

Where I'm setting up albums for each of the divesites.
Also a good way for the Sea Rovers Brethren to keep in touch with each other and share diving stuff, photos etc.

Underwater Temples makes it difficult to light incense

Image
Om Swasti Astu, as we say here in Bali. Back when the world was younger, the ancient Sea Gods of Bali decreed that a temple should be erected in their honour at 30mtr depth (yes, even the Gods went metric). 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

Mucky Pirate Nights

Image
Mucking around in the dark, always fun. Me, me camera and Robin (guest pirate) headed out into the dusk to watch the change of shifts in Mucky Pirates Bay, Pemuteran. Armed with our spanky new UK C4 eLED's we headed out to explore the murky depths right in front of Sea Rovers home port. Again, this place is proving to be full of hidden surprises. Pipeworms, pipefish, shrimps, crabs, seaslugs, cuttlefish, scorpionfish, wasp fish and more. Will definately be doing more of these. The Captain (Note: highly recommend these touches and no we don't get sponsorship (not that we wouldn't object if they gave us some ;-). Went the whole dive on half power as they were just too bright otherwise)
