Bodrum    Turkey 2004

Photos taken on the Dive Gulet holiday with Neilson. Great holiday, and great diving experience, especially as I'd only recently done PADI OW. I took the PADI AOW course as part of the 13 dives done over the week (4-11 October). Viz was fantastic, except for one day when it rained (though I'd only had experience of UK waters before). Camera used was a Fujifilm Finepix F410 and underwater case. Photos have been post processed in photoshop to compensate for underwater effects.
