October has been a great month for sightings of the Wonderpus with one literally being seen on nearly every dive and some dives seeing more than one! Wonderpus (Wonderpus photogenicus) are solitary octopodes, who are usually buried themselves in the sand in the shallows. They will display a brown and white stripped pattern when agitated…
We had some great diving last week. The blue-ring octopus and mola-mola captured the headlines, but we also saw clown frog-fish, a brown pontohi sea horse as well as the normal white one, and robust & ornate ghost-pipe fish. We also had some incredible night dives – marble shrimps, sponge-crabs and other small crabs. Bunaken…
