Underwater Bali, 2008

An 11-day dive trip on a liveaboard in and around the Komodo National Park. An absolutely incredible richness and density of life.

Photos from the surface part of the trip are in https://pbase.com/pstubley/hong_kong and https://pbase.com/pstubley/bali_2008 .

Impressive gallery Peter, with stunning colours. Not a field of photography I have attempted. Obviously you use an underwater housing for the D200. What sort of housing do you use for the flash? I know what you mean about "the sense of light" and wholeheartedly agree. Thank you for your recent comments on my work. Regards John

One of my friends while shooting underwater was swept by a stream and waited for hours to be found, so what you did was not free from danger, but really was worth. Thanks for sharing the magic of underwater world.
