Hi Jeff: I went to penuktukan and meet nyoman, what an awesome site! my client isn't impressed with the deeper parts, but the 18 and up areas is on par with some of his best sites out there with all the alleys and softcorals and boomies. This will definitely be my regular itinerary from now on. Nyoman wants me to promote the site. How about we do a gathering here?
The only problem I see is since the entry point isn't in the middle there is a chance of diver unable to come back to entry point when the current is really gusting. they need at least have some ways of notifying if indeed a diver has drifted too far and was forced to come up further south. During the 2 dives there the current is always going south, and thus I was trying to keep from going too far south incase unable to come back. IS this alwasys the case? (current going south) or does it sometimes go north?
The parking could be a problem if there are too many divers, but he showed me the lot which they have to the right and that is plenty enough.
Only if thers's a macro site around the area, even if have to go by jukung. I think if they have this we could spent 2days if not 3days diving here only.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I use ttl now on the 110a, by adjusting the strobe closer to the subject and I can run f/s on 16, worked out ok. but next time I will try your thing and see how it goes. Last time I use manual (2) it didnt fired. The pre-flash on the camera is off btw.
Little report on SSR on the 5 dives we had here: harlequinn shrimp (many), tiger shrimp (very small), tosuma shrimp (3), bumble bee shrimp(1), red frog fish(1), coleman (with baby!), pikachu(1). Very nice indeed. See my gallery (uploading soon)
Arun: Have no more leaks, even with repeated use. I would definitely recommend a leak detector from Jeff Mullin, it gave me a lot of peace of mind...
Just be aware when you have the rear door opened, make sure the shaft is not protruding in any way. Also always when open the rear door, plastic side latch open first before the top metal latchm andd when closing metal top latch first before the plastic side latch
Happy diving to all!
