This week when going in for the second dive at Aer Bajo 1, we decended as usual on the buoyline in the shallows. That buoy is ankered by concrete filled oildrums at 6 meters in the sandy bottom. The ropes up to the buoy are always filled with squid eggs – and often when…

To spice up our resort a little bit, we have planted a lot of different herbs and chilis in the garden. Besides Rosemarin, Basil and Mint, we also cultivate Dwarf Peppers, Sweet Peppers, Habaneros, Jalapenos, Maldivian Chili and the legendary Bhut Jolokia. This picture is a shot of our first fruiting Jalalapeno plant … and a lot are following up. So extra sauces are coming up for those who whish to spice up their meals …
As mentioned before, our old Dive Boat Banggai is now a Wreck on our housereef. This week i went in to sink another wooden boat close to it to put a second wreck attraction on the housereef. After finishing the sinking job i also went to check out the marine life on Banggai itself – and…
We love Critters, we love unusual behaviour, we love night diving – and this is why we will have another Night Safari in 2012 – a week with a rather extreme dive schedule for extreme encounters! What to Expect: A Weeks stay at NAD-Lembeh Resort; with Night Diving as the main focus. In 2011…
Even though diving in Lembeh is very shallow, people often reach the reserve of their Air or Nitrox Tank. Because the Buddy uses less Air, because divers get too excited about the Lembeh critters, because the critters stay deeper, because people have bigger lungs … there are many reasons why 80 cubic feet…
Today at Aer Bajo 2 it was quite busy, so i decided to look around a bit deeper and swam down the slope off the divesite. At 29 meters i found this little Frogfish under some pieces of sponges and leaves. The Bugger is only about 2 cm big and has that extraordinary white line…
While looking for some Tiger Shrimp, we found this cool little Frogfish in between some sponges and ropes while diving in one of Lembeh’s shallow Back Sand Bays. Even though we see quite some Hairy Frogfish, Hispid Frogfish and other rather special Frogfish, we still fell in love with this one – just because his colour…
In Lembeh everybody is looking for Hairy Frogfish, Rhinopias, Mimic octopus, Flamboyant Cuttlefish, Pygmy Seahorses and other “Premium Critters”. But sometimes it is the rather ordinary looking species, that fascinate me. And it was exactely the same, when i found this little fish in the shallows of a black sand muckdive in between some algae…

And on that housereef we have a new attraction: Banggai – one of our previous diveboats – is since some months our…
