In July, 2000, I was scheduled to dive in the Solomon Islands. Unfortunately, rebel fighting near the airport caused my flights to be cancelled. The folks at Island Dream suggested I visit Kungkungan Bay Resort in the Lembeh Straits on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It's the best "muck diving" in the world, and a photographer's paradise. I took over 1500 still photos, and five hours of video during nine days of diving. Here are some of the better stills.
