Dumaguete macro photos - Canon G9

[Geoff_H]

Just back from a quick trip to Atlantis Dumaguete and the diving, accommodation and good were - as normal - top notch! Only three and a half days diving, and I missed Apo Island but still I saw tens if not hundreds of new creatures and fish.

Some of my favourite photo's :

A cardinalfish with a mouth full of it's own eggs

A bug eyed squat lobster

Mating mandarinfish

Solo mandarinfish

An imperious hawksbill turtle

Couple of mating Nudi's

Ornate ghost pipefish in the sea grass

And a much better camouflaged one!

Couple of general reef shots

A sailfin goby

Dancing shrimp and moray eel

Spiny devilfish

A Toyota

Ornate ghost pipefish family

A white frogfish

The resort can't go unmentioned either:

Looking along the beach

The man behind the meals - head chef Edward

And some of his best creations.. normally I reviewed my pictures over dinner, I don't normally photograph my meals but these deserve to be immortalised

Nice shots! You probably have more. The pictures you selected to show give a great overall idea of what is above and below the water. What month did you go and what was the water temp?

You're right, I have loads more

I went in September (just got back) and the water temp was 28 or 29 degrees C. I dived in shorts and a rashguard top - no need for a wetsuit even with four or five dives a day.

Cracking shots Geoff, sorry I missed that beer with you...

No worries mate... actually I haven't had a beer for 186 hours and counting now. Got to lose a few kg to squeeze into my wedding suit next year

Oh - one question - what is this? I am sure someone there would know!
