Yesterday started gloriously! The sun was out and the sea was calm, so Elisabeth and I decided we should take a break from designing the new BSAC Professional Underwater Video Course and get wet. We resolved to make our way over to Nangyuan Island and get some stock footage on both the video and photo cameras. Elisabeth prepped and brought along a Seatool HD underwater video housing that a friend asked us to keep an eye on while she was away, and I took out our new Canon G10 still camera.


The wreck at Japanese Gardens- Koh Tao

We planned to get some shots of her diving and filming around the small wreck at Japanese Garden and to also go off the beaten track at Twins to see what we could find. Everything worked out beautifully. We got what we were looking for and more, as the sea once again offered up some amazing scenes!


The Wild West, Underwater

 The visibility around the wreck was a bit limited, but it added an eerie feel to the underwater photos, especially in black & white.  Also, as luck would have it, we came across two gorgeous seahorses- both a male and a female. They were willing models and posed beautifully for us. Just as we got back to the Oceans Below offices, the beautiful blue sky opened up and reminded us that we live in the tropics, giving Koh Tao a good soaking. We’re glad we got back when we did and can’t wait to get out and document some more amazing underwater experiences!
