Well done with a 'borrowed' housing! Nice pics... and thanx for sharing.

Hi Whyzzzzz. The last time i was at Southpoint my group were small (3 excluding AhWang, all are DM trained except me - OPEN only). Me and AhWang was hovering at 40m, then suddenly he bang his tank and point down, then flip and fin down towards a leopard shark laying on the sand. So i follow lor, thinking he can't go wrong. And when we hit the sand 3 metres from the shark, my watch click 52m. Then already feeling drank liao. And in the turtle tomb. My torch suddenly turn off. And i had no choice but to follow AhWang's light, so didn't explore much of the cave. My friend behind were so scared, as suddenly one light gone, she thought i disappear. hahahaha! What an experience! Diving in total darkness. So good to see the turtle skeleton in your photos. Ah Wang a bit don't care attitude, but he is good in the sense that, if you dare to follow, he will bring you to your limit.

Never dived with this chap before...will he also bring divers to the limits of their housing? ;o)

[serendipity]

I don't think he know much of your housing. That's why i am the only one following him in the last trip. As other friends all carrying small cameras with casing to 35m. You know he got his DM in one month, starting from nothing. Dive everyday in the one month. And he had dive Sipadan so many times that he stopped logging after his 2000+ dives few years back. He is one experience diver but poor in talking.

But good in drinking! Think all of them are. I was with another dive master but see him drink...WhyZzzzzz also drink like fish...

[serendipity]

No wonder AhWang like to go so deep. He like the drank feeling.

i actually find it easier to handle than my 10bar/G5 setup.
focusing is quick when there is ample light. ( ikelite DS125 helps alot with it's built in light)

no shutter lag makes it so easy to capture the moment.

there is nothing to compare... it's really miles apart. i didn't even bother bringing my G5 down into the water after my first dive. hahahahha... i think it will be very jealous.

<yoda>Do or do not, there is no try. Pick it up, you must ... and feel the force. It is your destiny.</yoda>
