Map Title: Turtle Heaven,
Map Notes:
Red is Sipadan - zoom to see how much reef it has - we are sorry, but we don't have imagery at the zoom level for this region - doh :) Soon though!

There must have been some mistake, I've died and gone to Turtle heaven. Floating around 20m down I start to count the turtles, I count and count - 55 turtle sightings on this dive. Photoblog memories from Sipadan 2007... when I die, I want to go to turtle heaven.

Upping the Ante?
Wow Ali, you've really outdone yourself this time! Seemingly every picture on the first page is a 5/5 for me. I LOVE those cuttlefish!!! It must be hard to spend so long down there taking pictures... I mean hard to come back up! You're obviously in the zone underwater, becoming one with egg laying cuttlefish.. :)

It's like another world down there!
Mate your photos are sooooo cool! You've single handedly made me want to learn scuba diving. Is it hard to learn? It seems totally worth it :)

So envious!
Sipadan was the most amazing place i've ever been diving! I've just been to the Great Barrier reef, and it doesn't even compare! Is there anywhere as beautiful as Sipadan or is everything after Sipadan bound to be a bit of a disappointment?

Wicked!
Your photos are really amazing. If you are heading to the peninsular, the diving at the Perenthian islands is also amazing, the best place that I have dived. Keep taking great photos and enjoy your travels. X

Underwater Camera
Firstly WOW I am in awe of your turtles pics, just out of interest I was wondering what underwater camera/housing you use. Only ever used a Canon Ixus with housing and the new olympus which I know arent really gonna produce pictures like yours. Do you have a dead expensive professional camera? Let me know thanks Vicky

I don't think so!
Dependent on the coral, incredibly fragile... but yes beautiful. Apparently there is a Dwarf Seahorse that is kept in aquariums successfully - a ton more info here http://www.fusedjaw.com/biology/pygmy-seahorses/
