They are amazing pics, the blue spot ray, moray eel and tomato clowns in the anenome's are my faves.

I knew you'd be interested Dave
I don't know which camera. I read that Dan's Dutch friend took most of them so I don't suppose Dan knows either!
Makes you want to go down and look for yourself doesn't it? Or in my case maybe not as I can't even swim and have a fear of water!

My wife is the same - i don't understand people that can't swim, but i did grow up in and around water all the time!!
Can't wait til the kids are older so that we can all go scuba diving in Thailand - missus said I should have a day when we were over there but it's not really fair on her me swanning off for a days scuba and leaving her with three kids. When the boys can do it we can go and the missus can sun her self on the boat!
Keep reminding us of any updates on his blog Jan as i'm always interested in travel and might give me some more ideas of places we can visit!
Lovely pics.
I like the water and am a good swimmer, but I'm a bit panicky going under and breathing.

They return home today Dave, but their blogs are almost up to date. I haven't read them all yet
It will feel strange for them after being away 9 months.
My mother will be more than pleased to see them though!
lovely pics
Thanks sye
Dan phoned me this morning. He was at my mother's. Had his breakfast there and taken his dirty washing so normal service has been resumed LOL
He told me that he didn't get a suitable camera for underwater by the time he did the Thailand dives. Had been researching them too long! But his diving buddy took loads
He was also telling me about the clown fish and how territorial they are. Families of them all over the place in and out ot their anemone homes. He said one came right up in front of his face just staring at him when he was close to his family. But when Dan moved a bit closer to the anemone, the fish swam away back into it
A turtle swam along side him for something like 15 minutes on one of the dives in Australia. He's sorry he has no pics of that.
