Thanks for sharing the video.
Doesn't look like you had the greatest of diving conditions. Looked quite dark and gloomy. Also did not see any shots nice blue water shots of th soft corals of Sahung.

Wrong time of year for Bangka. Currents stirring up sand. I went because I was diving Lembeh and an old buddy was in Bangka so I joined her for a few days.

Apologies. I need to correct what I said about the current causing the bad viz in my previous post. I now remember that one of the guides said that the waves come from the north at this time of year and it stirs up the sand. So it is the waves, not the current. I believe the guide was referring to the monsoon winds driving the waves.
