It's 6.30am - I'm awake - eyes wide no time for coffee; and I'm heading up to the dive shop, the streets of the sleepy village of Tulamben are quiet - the only sounds are from the ever present cockerels and the hiss of scuba tanks being tested and filled.

Those pics are tempting me to learn how to dive. There seems to be a whole world underwater that I am missing out on.

Keep it going!
I can never go diving. I THINK I am scared. So, awesome job! The pics look fantastic. Nice camera, eh! For a min, I really thought you were using a DSLR. But then again, I remember, good photography is not all about the camera.

I remember stumbling down that grotty old beach with a pair of flippers and a mask over ten years ago. I saw a load of old gray wreck, got caught in a tornado of jack - but jack all else - how do you do it? I only wish the elastic umbilical of internet access didn't prevent you from heading way out east from there - where even I, armed with just mask, managed to discover another-under-worldly paradise. One can only imagine what you'd find and document in hyper-color (genuinely an exciting prospect). So anyway, that's the brown-nosing out the way - you seem to be getting more 'hits' than me nowadays, are you sure you're not massaging the figures from the inside?

You have just untempted me to learn to dive Aspiringnomad. One of the reasons I have never bothered so far, is that I assumed that I would need centuries of training and practice before I would see more than ''a load of old gray wreck, got caught in a tornado of jack - but jack all else'' :)
