9 March 2010 Sometime August last year, during our trip on the Seven Seas diving around Komodo National Park, we met Jack Shargel, an animated American jeweler based in Bali.

12 – 18 September 2009 S8 16.585 E115 35.585 While in Tauch Terminal, the easy access to the Liberty Wreck and a house reef made us dive and dive and dive till we couldn’t see straight anymore. And we had LONG dives. The house reef or Coral Garden had an incredible cleaning station at 27 […]

The WWF Global Photo Network had been patiently waiting for their hi-resolution images but we could feel their itchy fingers wanting to get hold of the files! 🙂 So in […]

That meant that a whole battery of experts was ready […]
