Default Dayang June 24-25

Hi guys,

Some shots to share, as well as any tips and advice from you guys.

Dives were great even though the water was pretty cold, and got attacked by triggerfish. Cuttlefish everywhere, as well as lots of squid. Sadly, seems like there's lesser marine life..

All pictures taken with a Canon A95 and an LED torch for the night shots

Enjoy!
((=

1. The evil eye

(would have like to get closer and at a more oblique angle, but there was a rock beside)

2. Hermit crab


3. Nudibranch (someone help me ID this?)


4. Smug cuttlefish


5. 1 of 3 cuttlefish living around the same bunch of staghorn at Rayner's Rock


more here: www.antacid.os3.sg

would appreciate any tips and comments..thanks!

Wow, cool! I was there on the 24-25 Jun weekend too.. Maybe we might have bump into each other there. But mine was for the openwater training dive, so didn't really get to go around seeing too much. Oh btw, nice pics u have there..

Ooops.. Think I dun remember seeing someone with that description but then again, I was fully concentrated in getting into the waters.. Haha.. I think I reach Dayang somewhere around that time too.

The OW dives were absolutely great! Will certainly be back for more next time!

Neville Coleman's 1001 Nudibranchs

True true... ended up borrowing from a friend. Might as well experiment with different lightings instead.
