Coral Spawning at Raffles Lighthouse, Singapore
A couple of shots when the corals spawned on the night of 4th of January 2002. This happened between 2130-2300 h and is one of the most awesome underwater sights ever witnessed by me. These photographs taken using a Canon Powershot A20 digital camera in its underwater casing and lit up by my dive torch! Here we go....

One of of my first cold water dives at near freezing temperatures of 7° C. It was amazing to see the diversity and colour of lifeforms thriving at that temperature. The first dive was a wreck dive on GV Church and other was a wall dive. The visibility was not so great owing to a plankton bloom.
