New Dive Season – New Camera

Rob: Returning back to Koh Lanta for the new dive season is always special and exciting. I came back on the 20th of October finding some of the dive shops had already opened for a few weeks. I was then unfortunately taken ill so had to take 2 weeks off to recover and here i am announcing the New Dive Season Is Open!!!!!!!

Go Dive the shop i work with opened its doors early since the start of October.

Lanta Diving Safaris, Koh Lanta’s only Liveaboard trip was due to operate in October but finally went on the maiden voyage in November.

Lanta Scuba our speed boat operator opened as usual at the start of November and also did the Sail Boat.

All boats are fully operational now with regular visits to Koh Ha, Koh Bida and Hin Daeng.

This is Lanta Scuba enjoying lunch at Koh Ha this week.

But here for the fun part the diving! I have had a new camera the Canon G9 and underwater housing. Now it is a real beast! it seems even i can get great photo’s easily.

Please try to remember tho, if you take your camera be carefull of your buoyancy, your fin / body position and please don’t hang on to the reef. Sometimes one great photo isn’t worth damaging the corals and home’s of the things we want to remember.

This Nudibranch was on the move. Its just arching up trying to find the next point to connect to so it can keep moving. Check out its amazing colours! I took this photo at Koh Bida Nai a dive site near Koh Lanta.

This Ornate Ghostpipefish photo was taken at Koh Ha 1, a dive site visted from Koh Lanta. It was the biggest of a family of 3. Sometimes they are so well camouflaged they are hard to find, but usuaully they stay in the same area which is great!
