Thinking of taking part in a photo competition organised by International Programs, and submitting one under the theme of 'Animals and Natural Landscapes'.

Lembeh night dive. 3. Lembeh nudibranch 4. Sipadan Hypselodoris ? 5. Sipadan Chromodoris 6. And one laying eggs! Sipadan 7. Sipadan- a curious turtle 8. Lembeh- Anemone shrimp 9. Sipadan 10. Sipadan's full of fish 11. Sipadan- a white-tip shark comes from the deep 12. Sipadan- Lionfish in full glory
