I hope the attendees enjoyed last night's slide show at the Sabah Society on the delights of TARP's underwater environs as much as I did presenting it. The picture above seemed to catch the imagination of a number of people there: initally set up as a 'boring' shot of the overlapping edges of disc anemonies (family DISCOSOMATIDAE) it transpired later that the flash had reflected back off an apparently drab yet deeply orange (depth tends to reduce red tones to grey) sponge beneath them giving the sense of a lava back light. It was taken on 27th October 2007 on the southeast slope of Gaya island.Wednesday, May 28, 2008

hi ditch, i did have a real good time listening to your talk yesterday. it was really a great eye-opener, and i bet the rest think the same. whenever talking about diving in sabah, people will think of sipadan, mabul and other east coast islands... now we know tarp is also an excellent diving site, which we should appreciate and protect. keep up the good work!
Hi Ditch,
Many thanks for a fascinating presentation. My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the questions and diplomatic answers.
Keep it up. we look forward to more.
