    Question Advice needed diving Sumbawa

    FYI, in September 2017 I joined a liveaboard trip on the "Wunderpus" boat, arranged specifically as a nudibranch hunting expedition. The route was: Bima > dive in Bima bay > Pulau Sangeang > back to Bima for some resupply and more diving in the bay > Pulau Sangeang again > Komodo National Park...

    What size desiccant packs for TG-6?

    I've used 3g desiccant sachets, they are about the right size to fit between the camera and housing.

    Indonesian Borneo

    Thank you. We did see a manta from the boat at Sangalaki, but otherwise they were elsewhere. I heard they were back a week later of course, ha!

    Indonesian Borneo

    I stayed on Derawan and dived with Scuba Junkie Sangalaki in July 2022 for just over a week, and had a really good time. Some beautiful corals fringing Maratua, Kakaban, and in the shallows around Sangalaki. See below for a video I put together. Have fun.

    Why can my eye pick up more color than a camera sensor at depth?

    Then there was the internet viral image of 'the dress' which was percived as different colours by different people - some insight into how our brains white balance images :) : The dress - Wikipedia

    Some Alor trip videos

    Well, while we wait to see when travel and diving to Indonesia will become possible again, I thought I'd share a few diving holiday videos. These were taken around Alor, using a Canon S100 camera for 2013 - 2016, and a Canon A570 IS camera for 2010. They're not professional quality, but I had...

    TG-6 with PT-059

    Just an observation (not something I've actually tried) but compressed air from a tank should have practically 0% humidity - maybe its possible to 'purge' humid air from an open housing using a dry / unused / spare octopus, then closing the housing quickly?

    Environmental orgs in Indo?

    I get regular updates from the Turtle Foundation, who assist with projects in Indonesia. They work with profauna.net who's website has quite a lot of information about different campaigns in Indonesia, including this one: Turtle conservation, Belambangan island, east Kalimantan.

    Trip Report: Komodo with LOB Wunderpus and DRP

    I had a really good trip on the Wunderpus in September 2017, a charter organised specifically as a nudibranch hunting expedition (that's why not so many colourful corals or mantas in my video). We visited Bima bay, Sangeang, and ended in the Komodo NP. Great crew and a very nice boat...

    Has Banda been fished out??

    Very interesting documentary about whats likely to happen with fish in pretty much all the oceans... Its quite an old documentary (2010), but things have not changed a lot since it was made.

    Safety at Jakarta airport

    The new Terminal 3 (international flights and Garuda flights AFAIK) is very nice! Some very comfy reclining / dentist type chairs if you want a snooze further down near the departure gates.
