Just googled that. Looks great!
I'm off for 3 weeks of fun in Indonesia.
First week is mick diving in Lembeh, looking for the macro life - frogfish aplenty!
week 3 is in Lembongan looking for the big guns! Mantas and if lucky the mola mola.
Week 2 is planned as a 'dry week...'
Was thinking the same. Looks almost identical to where i worked in croatia!
Anyone got any advice on where to dive in malaysia and decent centres to use?
Technically the Ionian
I'm in the middle:

It is a real shame at the lack of sea life, especially with me having done a lot of diving in Tofo, Mozambique, but the geology here us amazing, plenty of amazing caves and cliffs with us finding more every year.
*edit* Does anyone know somewhere good to complete my instructor training? Somewhere with a bit of life, South America, Northern Aus, Fiji etc.

Enjoy training in the UK in a wetsuit
Ha, dry suit diving for me back home! My mate lives in Plymouth & goes out in a wet suit, madness!
Have another picture:
That is the exit of one of my favourite caves out here, pitch black in side with a lot of nice small spaces to squeeze in to and thousands of little shrimps
The exit is at about 22m half way down a cliff which drops down to 35-40m, with the entrance at 7m on the top of the cliff, awesome dive!

Ah training at stoney cove in February in a semi dry, I must have been mad.
I stupidly decided i wasn't going to dive this term so left my drysuit at home. Stoney cove in a semi dry on tuesday :/. Made even better by the fact ill be doing someone 35m depth progression most likely. 5 degrees here i come!
On the plus side my backscatter housing has arrived for my gopro so will get to test it out!
I saw that in the 'Things bought this month thread', report back with results!
Will do, most likely not very well as i will have no torch and dont have a green water filter. Will chuck the blue water one on and see what happens.
Was bought as im off to asia for 4 months to do Koh Tao, similans,Perhentians, Sipadan etc so wanted to make sure i got some decent video.
To quote myself from another thread:
Professional diver here
As for mounting it on something the best thing is something like this:

They are great & very resistant to the salt water. They offer the most stable platform and you will be able to get the GoPro much closer to any fish & critters for some awesome shots.
Obviously with taking a camera under water, red is the first colour to go so a red filter makes footage 10 times better but is costly as you need an after market housing.

They are very good and do make a world of difference.
Cheers, though i prefer mounting it on a goodmans handle. Leaves both my hands free while filming.
Red filters work great abroad but in the UK you really need a magenta filter
Anyone dived in Belize?
I'm thinking of going with the GF at christmas and she wants to learn to dive and I want to get another couple of dives under my belt after getting mine last november. Does anyone have any recommendation for a reliable dive company?
