Gym membership not required….On the first day of my Divemaster, Markus – one of the course instructors – asked me the reasons behind me wanting to join the program.

I arrived in South Lombok to continue my DM training and everything is great. I started diving following the guests. The reef is great and there are so many things to see: turtles, pygmy seahorses, trumpet fish, leaf fish, scorpion fish and the list could go on forever. The coral is also really nice, and…

This week in Bunaken on a dive site called Mamaling on the north of the island, guests were treated to a flyby of two spotted eagle rays. With beautiful mottled markings on their upper body, it’s always a pleasure to see eagle rays. And then later in the dive, the same rays returned for an…
