Usually at this time of year the water begins to get colder and the nutrient rich currents bring to Lembongan megafauna like the Mola Ramsayi. This week the Mola was seen by our guests Alex and Richard, who were here diving with us for 5 days, and on their last day of diving they were…
A very lucky Mola encounter in Nusa Penida at Crystal Bay during an coincidental all ladies day. Our ladies day started at Manta Point where we were circled by mantas and had the pleasure of having some private manta shows away from the crowds. It cooled down to about 24°C which was a good sign…

The currents and the thermoclines keep the corals alive and awesome. Only in the photo attached, you can find different kinds of hard corals in…
Looks like we have some new neighbours in our Dive sites. They had been around, but the last months had gotten difficult to spot them. And now, because probably they know that we are getting closer to High Season and that the waters are getting colder. Or maybe they are also getting ready to enjoy…
