Wow, Chao and I have overcome the challenges that have been thrown at us on our first week as DM intern with Two Fish Divers in Amed. A super blood wolf moon just over a week ago combined with tropical storm conditions off Australia have combined to make things a little trickier here in Amed…
They are an animal that many guests want to check off their critter lists and still bring joy to even the most experienced divers but who are the Seahorses of Lembeh?

Divemaster training is about to commence for our Two Staff Mr. Munahir (or moon as most know him) and Mr. Ipan. Both of our boys are ready but also a little nervous as it is going to test some of their weaker areas such as physics, physiology and their general English skills. We are going…
