Hello from PNG

Just wanted to drop a quick hello from the other side of the world. Diving has been amazing. Loloata was everything I could have hoped for. Lacy scorpionfish, pygmy seahorses, great muck diving. Yes Chinacat, I got a picture of the Lacy. It's not great though. It took me a few dives to learn to use the 100mm macro lens. Unfortunately, that killed most of the Loloata diving, but I got better towards the end of the Star Dancer trip.

The diving aboard the Star Dancer was just amazing. Fathers was by far the best diving I have ever done. I'll post a full trip report when I get back from Fiji. Currently we're in the Eastern Highlands of PNG. The people here are amazing. Again, I'll share details when I return home.

Kewl, glad to hear you are having a good time. Last year I got pics of three different Rhinopias. The Lacy, Weedy and the Paddleflap. Got the Lacy at Milne Bay also in PNG.
