The Thecacera Nudibranchs – often also called Pikachu (named after the similar looking Pokemon) – are without doubt one of the more attractive and spectacular groups of nudibranchs. Plus they are not so common. This makes it always nice to see them under water. And over the last week i have already seen several of…
Last Week one of our lovely guests got a glimpse of an unusual sight in Lembeh, a Manta Ray. Mantas are not often seen here in Lembeh, and when they are seen it is usually in September or October – so this was a very nice surprise. Congrats to Chaani Desai for getting a photo…
On a muck dive this week we saw a unusual high number of Ceratosoma Nudibranchs in different colours – yellow, white and red. I stopped counting at around 20. The nicest one of them was without doubt this one: It had 2 Emperor Shimps hitchhiking a ride on its back. I am always happy when…
This week we had a couple of wonderful dives at TK Bay – with many different critters including Velvet Ghost Pipefish (white), Seahorses, Cockatoo Flounder, Coconut Octopus, Tiger Shrimps and many more. But the highlight was for sure this couple of mating Wonderpuses. We watched them mating for about 10 minutes before they split. Even…
On yesterdays morning dives i went guiding some of our guests. Due to waves and surge we had to switch divesites and jumped on a protected reef. At around 30 meters i saw a white sponge and i immediately had the feeling that something was “unusual” about it. But i did not expect something that…
On his recent Trip to NAD Lembeh our guest and friend Eun Jae Im filmed the little green Phycocaris Shrimp that we discovered last year here in Lembeh. Eun Jae is shooting his video with a Canon EOS 7D in a Nauticam Housing and a external monitor in a prototype monitor housing by Nauticam –…
NAD Lembeh Resort and Diving Manager Serge got mentioned in a recent Article by Brooke Morton in Scuba Diving Magazine. In the March/April Issue 2012 there is an article about Octopuses and we are represented in the portion about the mimic octopus. Thank you very much for this article Suba Diving Magazine … and of…
Today a nice group of divers from Barclays Diveclub left the resort and yesterday they had their last evening. As a special dish they requested “Babi Putar” (a local version of spitroasted pig, which is also known in Bali as Babi Guling). We ordered the whole pig in town and picked it up by speedboat…
If you like Nudibranchs, then Lembeh is the place to go – a trasure chamber full of Nudibranchs and Slugs of all families. This was proved again on a recent dive at Nudi Falls. I can’t really remember how many different species of Nudibranch we counted in total, but it was very impressive and our…
Like most people here in Lembeh Strait, we really like shrimps. And one popular shrimp here is the Leander plumosus, which – due to its protuding nose – is also called the Donald Duck Shrimp. But there is also a close – more unknown – relative of the Donald Duck Shrimp … the Brown Grass…
