Lee, phyllis & Gary’s, Secret Bay Memories

The Sea Rovers Brethren’s ranks continue to swell with the addition of Lee, Phyllis and Gary our American affiliates.

Below are just a small taste of some of the many, many underwater photograph that Lee took during their time here.

This time I chose some of his Secret Bay photo’s as I liked them the best.

Lee The - a self portrait

First a Self Portrait of the Photographer himself Mr Lee resplendent with his HydroOptics mask. Very dashing Mr Lee.

Gobby on a starfish, secret bay, Bali

Nice little Gobby takes a ride on a passing starfish. Probably be faster to swim, but hey, who’s in a hurry. This is Bali after all.

Yellow Frogfish, secret bay, Bali

Yellow frogfish striking a dramatic pose.

Folded NudiBranch, secret bay, Bali

Often seen at Secret Bay and nicely photoed by Mr Lee. A folded nudibranch.
Amazing what you can accomplish with origami and some sea lettuce.

Rough landing, Cuttlefish, secret bay, Bali

This Cuttlefish seems to have crash-landed in the sand, must have mucked up his landing.

Eye eye Mr Cuttlefish, secret bay, Bali

Aye Eye Mr Lee!

Cool Catfish, secret bay, Bali
Cool Catfish finish off this collection of interesting images from Lee. We look forward to seeing many more on your next trip out.

By the way Phyllis, the Saga of the Skolian Empire books that you left here are brilliant, hence its taken me so long to get round to going through the hundreds of photos you left to narrow down to these.

Dan The Photoman

Yet another photographically inclined member of our ever expanding Sea Rovers Brethren has left us some memories to post.

decorator crab with an upsidedown jellyfish hat, mucky Pirates Bay, Pemuteran

Decorator crabs are always weird things, but here in Sea Rovers own ‘Mucky Pirates Bay’ we do extra wierd. This, one of many, uses one of our resident upside down jellyfish as a cunning disguise.

A Puffer fish, Mucky Pirates Bay, Pemuteran

Coiled Octupus posing, Mucky Pirates Bay, Pemuteran

A friendly little Octopus on one of Dan’s night dives provided a nice pose.

Photo’s By Bo & Steina

Orange Frogfish, Secret Bay, NW Bali

Welcome Brethren to Bo & Steina’s Photo’s

Bo & Steina come from Sweden and this is not the first time they have been here to sunny Pemuteran. But this is the first time I’ve had some photo’s to post.

I chose these out of 100 because ‘I like them.’ If you want to see more of Bo & Steina’s photo’s then visit their website.

http://www.overklighet.se/

I hope you read Swedish as well, the photo’s are in universal diver bubble language so easy to understand. As yet Bo hasn’t uploaded the new Bali images so these will be a first peak.

The images were taken in Pemuteran, Menjangan, Secret Bay and of course Mucky Pirates Bay.

Bo is using a very nice Nikon D200 setup with Ikelite housing & Strobes. Steina had fuji Finepix with a Sea & Sea YS27 strobe.

Like I said I had to narrow it down, I wanted to put more wide angle (the Commodore complains that we need more wide angle as we have tons of macro. I like macro! 🙂 But the guys will be posting more on their website and I’ll be watching to see what I missed.

Thanks guys for the great photo’s and good company.
