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
Top Photos from Today’s Dive
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.

First shots with the new camera in Menjangan
It’s been a really long time since I had a proper wide angle lens and two strobes, and since the guys at Sea Rovers had a spot on their Menjangan boat, I thought this would be good baptism for my new system. The lovely walls of Dreamland and Pos II Belok Kiri provided many photogenic subjects, which is
Goody Goody…New Toys
