Lankayan, Borneo: Some Underwater Pictures

Posted on 3 July, 2006 in Borneo, Malaysia by Chris
     

Here's a few photos, from both above and below water, that I took at Lankayan island in Malaysian Borneo last year.

I've got a long way to go before I ever produce a professional-level photograph underwater, but I had a lot of fun all the same snapping shots during my scuba dives at Lankayan island in Borneo. I've been to the island twice in the last couple of years and have found it to be an excellent hideaway for that real desert island feel, with only one resort, great staff and beautiful reefs to dive each day. I wrote a full report about my first visit to Lankayan a while ago - and now I've added some photos.

The thumbnails above click through to full size versions on my travel photoblog Photohappy. From left to right, top to bottom, you can see a lionfish; a huge jawfish in its hole (my favourite) ; a cuttlefish amongst the coral; some more coral which is very nice to photograph because it doesn't move; a storm moving in over Lankayan's beach bar; and a puffafish on the Lankayan shipwreck.

All of these pictures were taken with my Canon IXUS 400 in the Canon WP-DC 800 underwater housing. The IXUS 400 is obsolete now but Canon have continued to upgrade the very portable and compact Canon IXUS range of cameras - I really enjoy using mine, although for underwater shots the momentary shutter lag is problematic. The cheap price of the underwater housing, however, makes the IXUS camera and housing combination very affordable - I see them continually in the rinse buckets on dive shops.
