Brethren Harrie Wassen Photos

Image
More photo's from the brethren. This time from Harrie & Reit Wassen who were here over November. This nicely illuminated Ornate Ghost Pipefish enjoying the night dive. Whats left at Anchor wreck, Menjangan Island. A very colourful scene of coral and somewhere in there is an octopus. Transparent Cleanie shrimp on an anemone. Really nice picture of an Octopus taking a respite next to a plastic bag in Mucky Pirates Bay. Thanks for the photo's Harrie The Captain

Lee, phyllis & Gary's, Secret Bay Memories

Image
The Sea Rovers Brethren's ranks continue to swell with the addition of Lee, Phyllis and Gary our American affiliates. Below are just a small taste of some of the many, many underwater photograph that Lee took during their time here. This time I chose some of his Secret Bay photo's as I liked them the best. First a Self Portrait of the Photographer himself Mr Lee resplendent with his HydroOptics mask. Very dashing Mr Lee. Nice little Gobby takes a ride on a passing starfish. Probably be faster to swim, but hey, who's in a hurry. This is Bali after all. Yellow frogfish striking a dramatic pose. Often seen at Secret Bay and nicely photoed by Mr Lee. A folded nudibranch. Amazing what you can accomplish with origami and some sea lettuce. This Cuttlefish seems to have crash-landed in the sand, must have mucked up his landing. Aye Eye Mr Lee! Cool Catfish finish off this collection of interesting images from Lee. We look forward to seeing many more on your next trip out. By the w

Dan The Photoman

Yet another photographically inclined member of our ever expanding Sea Rovers Brethren has left us some memories to post. Decorator crabs are always weird things, but here in Sea Rovers own 'Mucky Pirates Bay' we do extra wierd. This, one of many, uses one of our resident upside down jellyfish as a cunning disguise. Puffer Fish and friend A friendly little Octopus on one of Dan's night dives provided a nice pose. This Octopus decided to stretch out and go for a wonder. Lionfish gliding in amongst the corals, nice warm colours on this one. Hermit crab with accompanying anenomes. And finally looking from stern to bows, 'Canyon Wreck' shows us her Booty :-) Nice Photo's Dan, look forward to seeing more on your next trip out. The Captain

The Freeflow divers return.

Image
Fellow Sea Rovers brethren Gwen & John from the Freeflow divers in Singapore return with new recruits and new friends, Terry & Helen. Helen Just completed her confined training and open water dives for her SDI, Open Water Scuba Diver certification having done her theory online prior to coming out. Left to right, John & Gwen Gillies, Terry & Helen Benton enjoying some well earned apre dive 'Storm Beer'. Also a celebration for Terry's Birthday. Sunset set the scene for the whole affair, all in all a fun time was had. And then Captain, family and friends enjoying a pleasant evening at Warung Susu, just down the road. Well its not all fish and critters you know, we do have a life between dives ;-) The Captain

Hella & Wayan's New Scorpionfish?

Image
Have we discovered a new species? Who knows and who cares? All we know is that our Wayan who has been diving here like myself for the last 13 years has never seen one like this. Old friend Hella Binder was visiting and fortunately had her camera with her so we got a couple of very cool shots to post on the blog. Picture was taken out at the Coral Bommie, here in Pemuteran. Nicely spotted guys. See what you get when you dive with the Sea Rovers brethren :-) How about calling it "Hella & Wayan's Flamboyant Dreadlocks Scorpionfish" The Captain
