couple of virgin (wrecks) and a bunch of crazy aussies

Drmike · 5th June 2007, 14:10

Just back from a 10 day trip diving a bunch of deeper wrecks in the South China sea and a few virgins. What we had hoped would turn out to be a Jap sub turned out to be a merchant ship in 127m. Another virgin in 95m was found to be a large cargo ship - probably a Maru.

Tried using a new d200 camera and nexus housing instead of old point and shoot in home made housing - with mixed to poor results.

For those that are interested pics are posted here: - Drmike's photos - powered by SmugMug

Great bunch of blokes, Chriso, Craig, Mike, Kevin D'enlay

, Karl, Mark and John, 5 Megs, a Boris, a YBOD and a MK15.5.

All units had issues of varying degrees - but all survived the trip

A couple of loop floods comfirmed that caustic coctail does desolve the glue that holds the cells together......

Im sure the others will come along and mention some of the stuff that went on

Jeez that caustic cocktail must have caused some brain damage

Mike = Mick "Gas Monkey"
4 Megs = 5 Megs since you forgot "Captain Bailout"...

I'll leave the antics for the others though...

Amazing that the conditions changed so drastically in just a week, the pictures are amazing Mike.

Glad to hear that you met up with the "fun" group of Aussies on your trip, unlike us...
