Top Photos from Today’s Dive
I had the opportunity to dive today with a Sea Rovers’ guest who had an even more monstrous camera than mine. We were both kitted up for macro and dive guide Edy found us some lovely critters at Midway here in Pemuteran. I enjoyed playing with the octopus who started with just the top of

I got on the boat today without my macro wet-lens, so it was a great opportunity to shoot fish. I need to replace my old fish ID books, so I can get the proper names of all these guys. Dive log: Pemuteran Coral Bommie / Max depth: 66 feet / Time: 81min Napoleon Reef /

I enjoyed a great morning of local diving with Sea Rovers. There was only 1 guest, so it was almost like a private boat. All of today’s shots are from Close Encounters. Dive log: Pemuteran Close Encounters / Max depth: 80 feet / Time: 58min Coral Bommie / Max depth: 56 feet / Time
Sunscreen Chemicals Dangerous to Corals
I see divers and snorkelers slathering on sunscreen every time I go out on the Sea Rovers’ boats. Since there are only a limited number of dive sites at Menjangan and here in Pemuteran, it really worries me about the impact these chemicals may be having on the reefs. Here are some excerpts from an article

Today I accompanied Captain Paul, owner of Sea Rovers, with an Advanced Open Water student doing her deep dive at Temple Garden here in Pemuteran. We had great conditions–mild current, warm water and decent visibility. I’m still struggling with keeping the sand/backscatter out of the photos in my wide angle shots–it doesn’t help that I’m probably
Creature Feature–Sand Shrimpgoby and Shrimp
One of the joys of diving for me is learning about and trying to photograph behavior. Today’s photos are not really portfolio-worthy, but they show the interesting relationship between the sand shrimpgoby and the shrimp they share a home with. These two creatures are symbiotic (meaning their interaction benefits both of them). The gobies stand guard while

It was an interesting day of diving today. I went out with Sea Rovers for a local dive in Pemuteran Bay at Close Encounters. The guide noted that there was a current, and I was first to do a backward-roll into the drink. By the time I popped back up, I had already passed the

I had the opportunity to do a shore dive with Sea Rovers’ guest David and dive guide Edi at Mucky Pirates Bay here in Pemuteran. It’s always great to have one of the local guides to find the tiniest and most unusual critters. Dive log: Mucky Pirates Bay / Max depth: 46 feet / Time:

Today I did a morning shore dive at Mucky Pirates Bay here in Pemuteran. I decided I want the Sea Rovers record for longest dive–at 138 minutes, I’m probably in the top 5. The tide was changing so the visibility was pretty bad, and most of the photos I shot had too much sand in
