The blue (or blue streak) cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, are the dentists in the sea on our reefs here in Bali. The black and white cleaner wrasse live in small groups and usually set up ‘cleaning stations’ on the reef. At about 10cm long, they are the perfect size to swim in and around the…
We had a rare week of not seeing Hammerheads at Belongas this week. Normally this would be a source of disappointment down here at Two Fish Divers South Lombok but the easy diving in mild currents, with clear waters full of schooling mobula rays and the occasional mola more than made up for it!

This week we’ve been lucky enough to watch one of our favourite fish in both of our South Lombok locations, Belongas Bay as well as on the reefs around the “dive farm” in Sekotong (South Gili’s). The fish in question is the bluefin trevally (Caranx melampygus) or jackfish. Some divers make the mistake of thinking…
How to get the perfect shot of a Manta Ray? This week in Nusa Lembongan our main goal was to show our guests Rita, John and Chris from the USA some Mola-Mola and Manta Ray sightings around Nusa Penida. They are all really experienced divers, Rita even celebrated her 1500th dive with us this week…
