We have plenty of boxfish sightings in different colors around Bunaken. They are so cute and look like they are ready to kiss you! They are also a bit skittish and when you move closer they slowly move off hiding in the reef crevices. Not easy to take good pictures of them. Don’t be fooled…
I arrived on Gili Air for the final three weeks of my Divemaster Training, after three great weeks in Bunaken. It was easy to adjust to Island life and Kay, the instructor, showed me a great local warung which turned into my lunch spot every day! I stayed at Villa Karang which was lovely and…

He was diving solo and without a camera, however, so we wondered about the truth of the story… Until they were spotted again by Daniel, snorkelling in the shallows! Dugongs are quite rare but can…
