Photos of my trip to Irian Jaya

[Josh]

I finally got around to putting together the photos from our trip back in March (it only took me 4 months!).

I am working on a narrative for the dive websites, since this particular region is one of the least visited places in the world. But for now, here is a peek.

Thanks for the compliments! The corals deserve all the credit though.

My wife took pictures with an underwater 35mm that cameout well, but they are on slides and she hasn't scanned them yet.


It takes 3 days to get there. Once on the boat, you dive nonstop for 10 days 3-5 dives per day.

I am working on a nice dive trip review. When it is done I will post that as well

I am planning a Great Barrier Reef trip for sometime next year if people were interested in going. There are good prices for shared boats. Fairly expensive, but you can't beat the scenery.

Thank you so much for sharing! Eric and I just planned our first 'real' dive trip to Cozumel in October. I actually got a tooth squeeze the last time I tried to go down in Palm Beach so we have our fingers crossed that I won't get stuck being a spectator!

Great shots!
It must have been very hard to resist the urge to frag yourself a few bits to bring home (or maybe that's just my criminal Australian mind working)
