Français Borneo: Indonesia + Malaysia - July 2013
Hop, we go to Malaysia to dive to Sipadan ... As a mouthing, I made it simple: a video, a shark, a minute.
White tip shark
I told myself that this short plan of shark (a harmless shark with white point) in the middle of corals full of life, would make a small entry in sympathetic matter, to begin my series of articles on Sipadan…
It's a "rough-out" video, without editing - with a white balance that pulls a little too much on the orange, but never mind. It gives a good idea of the atmosphere ...
Fun: rummaging in my impressive stock of images brought back from these dives in Sipadan, I came across this picture of me, which I had completely forgotten ... It was taken by Vicente, a Spaniard who was in my palanquée. It fits right when I turn the little video clip above, with my 7D !
Hello, Vicente! There you go. One more adooore pose with sharks from Sipadan…
Sipadan III: the return of the revenge of the bubbles of the girl who makes photos under the water
Sipadan was the high point of this new trip to Borneo in July 2013. I was going back for the third time ...
And I was not disappointed, unlike Sangalaki and Maratua. So I keep Sipadan in my little top 3 staff of the best dive sites in Asia (with Raja Ampat and Komodo) ! ! !
To see the articles on my previous dives in Sipadan, in 2006 and 2009, it is there:
- 24.07.2006 → Sipadan: swimming with sharks
- 11.07.2009 → Sit with Sipadan sharks
- 14.07.2009 → Latest bubbles in Mabul and Sipadan
- 28.08.2009 → Sipadan flashback
But note that in 2006 and 2009, I had not yet my 7D, for photos and videos. Neither the experience I have gained since, for the underwater shot. I was therefore REQUIRED to return to Sipadan for a third episode. I had to check my progress under water in the same context.
Very rewarding and very pleasant, I admit ...
But I'm really behind in my articles. We are already in mid-October and I rediscover, at the bottom of the hard drive, my images taken in July, full of sharks, turtles, barracuda swirls and jacks.
I evaluate them with a fresh eye. I sort, I dismiss, I select. It will still take time ...
However, I had already managed to put some online on the Facebook page, almost direct from the island of Mabul where I stayed (thanks to the mobile connection of an Indonesian diver, who had pity to see me row on the poor common wifi of the center). You can have a look, to wait.
The following will be to discover (soon) in the next post! ! !
