A photographic negative entry

One of the new techniques I learned while diving around Komodo was the negative entry. When the currents are really strong you need to get down to the reef asap to avoid being swept away. That means no bobbing around on the surface etc. I enjoyed the little rush of adrenalin it affords, but its seems an appropriate term to use here too... I need to get some some overdue photos down quickly before Wends arrives and we're swept away on the next adventure.

An afternoon of strenuous sailing on the Perama boat...

I woke up early and found the sunrise revealing the mountains of Komodo Island.

Mean!

This would make a good advert for Coca Cola...

The coke crates give a good idea of the size of these things.

They seem so slow, but they can move really quickly when they need to.

Ooh, he's coming right towards me...

And veers off at the last minute... (obviously checked out my guns!)
