2008: Indonesia

As this was the last holiday of our "Year Off" we thought we would do something a bit different and try some muck diving in Lembeh, with viz not much better than back in good old blighty, but with what is described as creatures that are Gods rejects!!! Well, they weren't wrong, there was weird stuff galore, and we still can't work out what we photographed in some pictures, but hey what an excuse to go back again. Second week was on the other side of Sulawesi around Bunaken National Park for some BIG wall dives, where viz was much better but photography was made interesting by some very fast drifts and erm.... interesting currents.
