Behind the scenes we’ve had a busy couple of months technical diving in Bali and Lombok. At our Amed centre, we hosted our first DMT Tech internship, added gas blending facilities, taught just under 20 courses – and found time for a little bit of exploration as well. Divemaster Tech internship Two Fish offers a…
What an amazing week in Bunaken! We had sunshine and calm seas the whole week and one amazing creature after the other was spotted! At Mandolin we saw four Dugongs in the shallows including a baby Dugong! At Fukui we had the nice surprise of a Mola Mola which gently cruised by! And to top…

They have relatively longs arms and are reddish or brown and quite often have a bit of debris stuck on their hairy arms. We had a…
The Nembrotha Cristata was just one of the Nudibranchs to delight our guests in Lembeh this week. This particular one resembles an old English Gentleman, with a large drooping moustache! We have some crazy, beautiful Nudibranchs here in Lembeh and this great shot was captured by our guests, Victor and Lynn. Nembrotha Cristata are from…
