Yup one of the most anticipated trip of the year. Lembeh Straits. A trip almost canceled but with passion and persistence. We got there. Lembeh Straits offering amongst the best muck diving in this part of the world has now been chronicled.
So did it lived up to its reputation. Wildly so. She wooed my camera and bedded it forever. Now lost in her bosoms, I'll never see it again.
Even before the trip started I was already planning a lot of shots in my head and wanted to share tonnes of pictures with you lot, sadly not to be so. As fate would have it, rather than just simply post as I would normally do I decided to take on a little mini project.
While on the trip down to Lembeh, I was browsing through the latest edition of AsianDiver Magazine and pondered what it would be like to be and underwater photojournalist and a publicist for a magazine. Thought to myself it would be a pretty fun thing to do living it for a while pretending to be an editor of a magazine.
I knew already there are few dive magazines in PDF format available freely for download such as UwP and UWJ. So taking these dive magazines as a template for my pet project I started digging in. Was it easy, not really but I soon got the hang of things, editing here and there. Could have done it better though but I think with practice I could probably do it faster now.
So how did I fair. I'll let you be the judge of that. Here it is. Grab it while its still hot. The first ever unlimited issue and its FREE :). RIGHT CLICK and SAVE Offline viewing. My Lembeh - Black and White
So here it is. finally managed to embed.

Bro .. I m speechless ... awesome ... how cool was dat .. our journey in pdf format .. I read it every word & it was sooo smoothing thinking back the good times during our trip ... I was particular impressed with your decision to use black & white version for the photos & God it did have a nostalgic effect while going over the story .
Ya .. pity the cam has been lost but I'm eager to see your new cam arriving soon because I know you have that special spot for underwater photography ...
Yeap .. everyone enjoyed the trip .. I'm very glad ... & I more than happy to meet Cheehowe & Anna & Joanne althought we didn't had the chance to dive with them ..
All in all it was truly a masterpiece put together by you. Good work & I have to give you the credits again & again ... well done ... & a big thanks for sharing ... which of course most of us will try to if we manage to find the time ...
"She wooed my camera and bedded it forever" => LOL! She really loves your camera and knows that you should get a new camera. =) We shall look forward to better pictures next time!
It was great meeting up with you guys! Shall go visit you all some time. =) And we did "dive together". Heh!! We crossed each other's path during one of the dives. Perhaps you did not see us but I remembered waving to SS and DD. =D And with you guys being much more experienced divers, it's also good that you did not dive with us and see us fumbling. =P
