Cambodia trip videos uploaded

I was at Koh Kong province for 18 days - this is at Cambodia, and we went to this island from Sihanoukville.
Nice time with the kids.
I was there as the uw videographer for them to produce a video for the government to consider gazetting the area as a marine reserve.
Some of the uw shots are viewable at the grouper site.
The land videos of the school children are at youtube.

New Videos uploaded


I found some old tapes of a trip in 2004 to Lembeh, Sulawesi, Indonesia. This must be my best trip ever - great companions, and great marine life shots. There was this strange frogfish (it's more knobbly and rough looking than the usual painted frogfish, which seems closest to it) ardently following a bigger similar one.
AND the dive guide spotted a mimic and wunderpuss octopi facing off one another. We arrived and they split: the 4 of us took turns shooting both of them. Glorious.
I was there for 10 days - first with the marine biologists, and then with my ex gf. The former did not see any of these things mentioned - they were found after they had left. And so i post these videos - for them and all else to see the beauties of these great macro dive site. I think it is the best ever - well I have yet to go to PNG and Wakatobi.

You can see these 4 video clips of Lembeh at the youtube link on the sidebar.
There is also a small clip of the marine bio on the boat..too bad youtube's flash conversion process pixellated the pics and garbled the audio. Watching the video gave me a good chuckle and brought back some nice memories.

Sabah video uploaded

Finally managed to upload this megabyte file of a Sabah trip -spent 3 weeks over 4 resorts. Lovely time. Best stay ever at Kapalai in one of those water bungalows.
