Welcome to our Weekly Roundup! Last week we had skeleton shrimps, sharks at 50m, protecting sharks and rays, eating lunch underwater and lots of blue rings!
In Bunaken we had skeleton shrimp for halloween; in Lembeh we had a Blueringed-tastic time; in Lembongan we had Whale Shark, Molas and Mantas; in TEC we had sharks at 50m in Bunaken; and we have a report from our DMT intern who just fimnished her divemaster course.
Meanwhile, from around the globe we introduce you to the PADI video competition; give you a view of an incredible tornado of jacks; give you some tips for night diving; ask you to help protect sharks and rays; show you an amazing underwater restaurant for dinner; and explain some of the ways that you can inflate your SMB!

Skeleton Shrimp ready for halloween in BunakenThis week on Bunaken … Some of the tiniest creatures known as skeleton shrimp are ready for Halloween here on Bunaken. Our guides are famous for finding the tiniest things underwater and there is no exception for this one. The skeleton shrimp is only millimetres long and completely transparent – they hang around on pieces of soft coral in a sort of praying mantis like way. The picture here is taken by our repeater guest Keith from New Zealand on one of his dives with Rolly. Nice job focusing on such a tiny and clear creature! |

Blueringed-tastic in LembehThis week on Lembeh … our guests have been having a Blueringed-tastic time in Lembeh, nearly every day we have been having sightings of these rare octopus. As well as these we have also been having a lot of the usual suspects as well, coconut, log arm, starry night, mimic and the lovely wunderpus octopus. |

Whale Shark, Molas and Manta in LembonganThis week in Lembongan … it has been a week of large creatures with our divers seeing Whale Shark, Molas and Mantas. Dive guide Rheyn and his divers had one amazing dive in which they saw 2 molas within the first 10 minutes and a whale shark not long after that. |

Sharks at 50m in BunakenThis week in tec … our most recent tec student Markus finished off his PADI Tec 50 course with two really nice decompression dives that both had sharks at 50 meters! Among the different kind of sharks we had included black tip reef sharks, white tips and even one thresher shark who swam over head. By staying around 25 minutes at 50 meters it’s amazing the creatures that you get to encounter! |
