Wetpixel Sharks & Dolphins 2008 expedition a success
Alex Mustard has posted a placeholder in the forums for reports on the Wetpixel Sharks & Dolphins 2008 expedition, from which he has just returned.
OK, so the title turned out to be something of a misnomer - as Jim corrects me – it also included Palm Beach muck diving (Lembeh is now know as poor-man’s Blue Heron Bridge), Gulf Stream night pelagic drift, super macro plankton photography, nocturnal critter hunt on Sugar Wreck, “fishing” for birds as well as more sharks and dolphins than you could shake a stick at. Or in other words, just another amazing Wetpixel/JASA trip.
We can’t wait to see the photos!
Team Wetpixel gets low-bandwidth skin
Along with Wetpixel’s software upgrade, we have added a special feature to the Team Wetpixel subscription package. Although the upgrade made the forums area much faster (have you noticed?), Team Wetpixel members now get access to a new, low-bandwidth skin that makes browsing and participating in the forums *really* fast.
Team Wetpixel was started as a means for you to support Wetpixel, but we thought that you should get something useful in exchange for your hard-earned dollars. Continue reading to see a video of Team Wetpixel in action.
Wetpixel server software update
Hello, readers. Cor Bosman and I have been working for the past couple of days to upgrade the software behind Wetpixel.com to current versions. We are pleased to announce that the upgrade went smoothly!
Please let us know if you experience anything strange while you browse around here. We still need to make the POTW and Maps area fit into the new design, but the home page articles and forum areas are done.
Bilikiki Cruises hosts Solomon Islands video competition on YouTube
Bilikiki Cruises has announced a final call for entries to their Solomon Islands-themed video competition hosted on YouTube - all footage submissions must be posted by the end of July. If you’ve visited the Solomon Islands on either the MV Bilikiki or MV Spirit of Solomons and filmed video of the trip, you could win a seven night trip on one of the boats, courtesy of Bilikiki Cruises, simply by posting your video to YouTube with “Bilikiki” in the title and visiting the competition submission page.
Entry is free, and there are currently only a few submissions, so this is a great opportunity to win a trip back to a beautiful dive destination. View the latest Bilikiki enius for more details - good luck!
