What is the definition of bad luck? Starting the autumn diving season in Lembeh, and discovering at the first dive that the Gopro is dead. It was still blinking the night before. Some analyzing and internet search in the afternoon let me suspect that the batteries are (probably) ok, the cable is ok, the loader is ok. So it’s really the camera.
I mean, this is Lembeh. Today I saw my first blue-ringed octopus, which is quite deadly, but on the other hand, probably too small to capture successfully with the Gopro. And a school of bigfin reef squid, which definitely would have given me some great videos.
So what to do? Maybe I can get a Gopro in Manado. Meanwhile, I’ll just have to relax and watch and remember what I’ve seen. And refer to Wikipedia:

And enjoy the views at dusk.
