Mucky Pirates Nights

Been incredibly busy the last few weeks with high season in full swing, so not much time to take new pics. However I did get some nice shots early in July while night diving Mucky Pirates Bay.

Sand Eel in Mucky Pirates Nights, Pemuteran, NW Bali
Sand Eel, usually you only ever see their heads pocking out of a hole in the sand. But this night we got to follow him as he hunted.

And last but by no means least a very pretty Anemone.

More can of course be found in the Sea Rovers face book page where the reef photo albums keep expanding.

Now Back to Diving ;-)

Underwater Temples makes it difficult to light incense

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

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)
