Our guests had a treat last week when we one of our dive guides found a blue-ring octopus. These guys are only 3-4 cm long and are normally the colour of rock/sand so are very hard top spot.
Their blue-rings are only shown when they are agitated, they show them as a warning to keep away. Naturally everyone stays away – they may be small by their venom is lethal. If they bit you then you have about 2mins to live which is not promising if you are 20m down on a dive! There is no anti-venom and, despite their small size, it is thought that they can carry enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. Wow!

We had previously stayed at Two Fish Lembeh which we had an amazing time at, and I'm glad to say Bunaken was no different.Bunaken operation was run with the same efficient friendly staff and great food.Looking forward to visiting the new set up in Bali.
