Winter has arrived.<br /><br />And what a winter it has been so far. Exceeding expectations, this is by far the most determined winter in the last 25years..

The following pictures are taken from the wreck "Salem Express"<br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Location: 26° 39’ 01" N, 34° 03’ 48"E. Hyndman Reefs, southeast of Saa</span><span style="font-size:85%;">fag</span>.<br />I have not yet seen many photo's from inside the wreck, so i think these are quite uniq and rare.<br />The story is quite the dramatic one, hundreds of pelgrims returning from Mecca found here their last resting place. During this last voyage it hit a small reef and sank quite fast, what i have been told it sank within 8 minutes. The ship is laying on its portside which at times when i was cruising inside the ship can be confusing and disorienting. The dive was done with a small group of 5 on the 9th of Augustus 2009.<br /><br />Gear used: My standard NikonD90 with a 18-105mm kitlens set to 18 mm.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/Ss0JJRYHQDI/AAAAAAAAAqk/ddfgEtgUr4c/s1600-h/DSC_0135.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/Ss0JJRYHQDI/AAAAAAAAAqk/ddfgEtgUr4c/s320/DSC_0135.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389974383920365618" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/Ss0JqKE9aTI/AAAAAAAAAqs/BmRlLH-bZFA/s1600-h/DSC_0134.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/Ss0JqKE9aTI/AAAAAAAAAqs/BmRlLH-bZFA/s320/DSC_0134.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389974948896663858" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/SvncPoVBrfI/AAAAAAAAArM/fT7kVlRsAsw/s1600-h/DSC_0140.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/SvncPoVBrfI/AAAAAAAAArM/fT7kVlRsAsw/s320/DSC_0140.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402591389089377778" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/SvnhG2Ht5lI/AAAAAAAAArc/rvPcxGqCvTw/s1600-h/DSC_0181.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/SvnhG2Ht5lI/AAAAAAAAArc/rvPcxGqCvTw/s320/DSC_0181.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402596735730968146" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/SvnfxXTyw-I/AAAAAAAAArU/G3hbp5JQo94/s1600-h/DSC_0169.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_u1bVnDzLwSs/SvnfxXTyw-I/AAAAAAAAArU/G3hbp5JQo94/s320/DSC_0169.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402595267171238882" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6611709408581940554-2868397696612746673?l=nologon.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Thijnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04528700910419361095noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611709408581940554.post-57402398463678204972009-07-06T12:24:00.000-07:002009-07-08T12:48:18.411-07:00Finally, after waiting some time to get the opportunity to get submerged to test my new underwaterkit.
