The Eastern Fields Await

Wed, Feb 18th, 2009  |   Featured, Places, Adventures, Trips, Workshops 4 Comments

Yes, I know that the news is filled with stories of doom and gloom, end-of-the-world scenarios and panicky pundits all over the place. But no matter how bad things look, you still have to plan dive trips!

There are a few places left for the Eastern Fields trip I’m doing with Eric Cheng later this year, in November and December.

The boat is awesome; the captain is the guy who has the most knowledge of the Eastern Fields in the entire world; diving in PNG is always awesome; there are wide-angle opportunities galore; and if the world really is going to collapse, I can’t think of a better place to be.

Trip details are up at Wetpixel.

Oh, did I mention we’ll be visiting other, even less well-known, more pristine reefs?

Lembeh Strait and PNG Trips

fish in a canIf you’re looking for an excuse to go diving this year, there are a few spaces left for a couple of trips that I’ll be on.

The first trip is a dedicated photography/ video trip to the Lembeh Strait from 14 to 21 March, arranged by Scubacam in Singapore, in association with FiNS Magazine. We’ll be discussing all sorts of photo topics, and you can feel free to ask all the questions you want. I promise to try to be (more) coherent (than usual).

Also, we’ll be selecting the best photos taken during the trip, and there will be a whole bunch of prizes available…things like a Z240 strobe, a high-powered rechargeable LED light from Scubacam, a wet macro lens, and more. We’ll be staying at the very comfortable Kasawari Lembeh Resort. Read a write-up from my last trip to Lembeh here, and contact Sanah or David at Scubacam for more details.

The second trip is a liveaboard excursion from 8 to 19 December to the Eastern Fields (and related remote reefs) in Papua New Guinea aboard MV Golden Dawn, in association with Wetpixel.

Here is a write-up from my last trip to the Eastern Fields. It’s one of the most, if not the most, amazing places I’ve ever seen. If you’re a keen photographer and are looking to visit someplace extraordinary, where only a few hundred other people have ever been to, this is it.

A full write-up of trip details is available here.
