Sea Rovers Dive Bali

Diving Deep Reef has always been interesting and here are a couple of reasons why. Praying Mantis Shrimp Shrimps in a Feather star Nudi branch More nudibranch Buddy through a Gorgonian The Captain

Greetings all Michael and his wife Karin have been here the last week, diving and relaxing. Yesterday me and Michael sat down in front of the office computer and narrowed down 800+ photo's to some 169 usable. Michael then had the task of wittling down the photo's some more till we had 8 to chose from. Of which the final 5 were photoshop'd and put up here for all to see. Enjoy. Ornate Ghost Pipefish, Very Colourful. A Mantis Shrimp awaiting some prey. Not to close with that camera Michael or he'll have it. Love this one, the green shrimp on the feather star. Nice image. A Cuttlefish using sponge as camoflage. Another more colourful Mantis shrimp, so many varieties to photograph. And Up here in still sunny NW Bali, despite the best efforts of the rainy season, we have so many to find. Thanks Michael for sharing and I look forward to perhaps getting out diving with you an Karin next year. The Captain

The latest Mucky Pirates Bay photos. Been playing with Photoshop for this first one, getting an interesting sort of woodblock effect. Using the cutout feature and then a second layer high pass with threshold adjustment, you get this nice art print. Mantis shrimp playing peak a boo. That green algae behind him is all over the Mucky Pirates Bay at the moment, brought with it a couple of very interesting nudibranch though, which typically I only ever find when I don't have the camera with me :-( I like this pic! A very nice young lionfish Filefish hanging by one of our moorings. The Captain

Ssshh... don't tell anyone but here are some Secret Bay photos. The Captain

Welcome Brethren to Bo & Steina's Photo's Bo & Steina come from Sweden and this is not the first time they have been here to sunny Pemuteran. But this is the first time I've had some photo's to post. I chose these out of 100 because 'I like them.' If you want to see more of Bo & Steina's photo's then visit their website. http://www.overklighet.se/ I hope you read Swedish as well, the photo's are in universal diver bubble language so easy to understand. As yet Bo hasn't uploaded the new Bali images so these will be a first peak. The images were taken in Pemuteran, Menjangan, Secret Bay and of course Mucky Pirates Bay. Bo is using a very nice Nikon D200 setup with Ikelite housing & Strobes. Steina had fuji Finepix with a Sea & Sea YS27 strobe. Like I said I had to narrow it down, I wanted to put more wide angle (the Commodore complains that we need more wide angle as we have tons of macro. I like macro! :-) But the guys wil...
