Welcome to our Weekly Roundup! Last week we had aliens, trimix diving, the end of tanks, ghostpipefish and the amazing Shark Buses of Hong Kong!
In Bunaken we had lots of little wonders; in Lembeh we had a Ghost Pipefish bonanza; in Lembongan we found aliens in the water; in TEC we had trimix wall dives around Bunaken; and we have a report from our DMT intern who went from Bunaken to Bali.
Meanwhile, from around the globe we offer you some more tips for taking a better photo; give you some interesting facts about the manta’s mating in a train; share with you the possibility of tanks being replaced by crystals; show you an amazing Shark Bus on the roads of Hong Kong; and explain why marine reserves work.
Plus, here is a photo of our new hammock area in Lembogan – its right next to our pool bar, fancy a swing and a cold beer?
Happy diving!

Bunakens little wondersThis week in Bunaken … dive guides have been showing off to our divers Bunaken’s little wonders underwater, including ornate ghost pipe fish, Potoh’s pygmy seahorse and the usual range of candy & orang-utan crabs, skeleton shrimps and whatever else is smaller than the normal eye can see. Pictured here is the ornate ghost pipe fish (black & yellow variation) hanging upside-down next to a feather star.

Trimix Wall Dives in Bunaken!This week in tec … Our helium supply has been replenished so we have been out doing some amazing trimix wall dives around Bunaken! Of course, this means we talk a bit funny afterwards, but the helium in our gas mixture allows us to go beyond the 50 meter range to explore the life at these greater depths!
