Diving is Fun

HDR image of a dive boat pulled up on the beach. A sign facing outward beneath the boat’s awning read “Diving is Fun with Siladen Resort and Spa.” In morning and evening the glossy paint on that boat picked up the sun and seemed almost to glow. The neat beach, colorful ocean, boats moored nearby, and the volcanic island Manado Tua in the background just made the scene more appealing.

Comin’ Atcha

(Mimic Octopus photos) During the week we were in Lembeh, I learned to spot the mimic octopus. What probably surprised me most about the mimic was its diminutive size; in life, this octopus is only about the size of an adult male’s hand — not at all the size that a Caribbean diver might assume from the photos we all have seen.

Pool With a View

What Are You?

(Photos of Peacock Mantis Shrimp.) There are several types of mantis shrimp in the Lembeh Strait, and most are easy to see and not easily intimidated by divers. The so-called “peacock” or “harlequin” mantis shrimp is beautifully colored in brilliant blues, green, red, and orange.
