This week in Amed, we saw many Green Humphead Parrotfish! These amazing one-meter long creatures are usually seen in a school of 5 or 6. Swimming in the blue around the Liberty Wreck or simply eating the coral. Did you know that the excrements of parrot fish are actually white sand? This week in Amed…
2 years ago when I did my DSD I would never have imagined training for my Divemaster on the way to becoming an instructor… in Bali! My name is Andrea and here is my story about how I got there, and my video that tells you about a typical day on my Divemaster Internship. From…
This week in Amed, we managed to get a closer look at the “Kuro Sapsucking Slug” or “Costasiella Kuroshimae”; lucky we’ve got the photography equipment required to capture such a small crawler, maximum 0.7 cm in size.

Many can be found on the Local Dive sites; with a trained eye…
This week in Amed, we keep on adding some more Muck Dives discoveries and get to admire the Leaf Scorpionfish; a pretty fish with a weird shape that preys on shrimps, crabs and even smaller fish thanks to its venomous spines; a strong venom still considerably weaker than that of the stonefish. Just as many…
This week on Lembongan some of our guests spotted one of the most unique looking fish on the planet, the Unicorn Fish. The unicorn fish has a long horn that protrudes from the top of its head but biologists are unsure of the purpose of it. It isn’t used as a weapon or swimming aid,…
