It seems to me, that we see a lot of Phyllodensium Nudibranchs at the moment. We encountered 4 different Types only yesterday – and 3 Solar Powered Nudibranchs (Phyllodensium longicirrum) on a single dive at “Tanjung Kubur”. The one you can see on this picture was a smaller one. As i was preparing for…
So here it is: My second Introduction Post on the NAD Lembeh Blog. My Name is Serge and after having written the updates here for one year as the Dive Manager i am now back for a 1 month visit and will use my time to keep you updated on what’s going on at NAD…
Last night I was feeling a little bored and felt that I needed to relieve some urges from deep in my soul. The only cure to that was to go and watch some sex! Before you all start thinking im losing my mind, I am, of course, talking about Mandarinfish (Synchiropus splendidus). These beautiful little…
The other day at TK I found (well of course i didn’t, the guides did!) a pair of Commensal Shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) sitting on the back of a Glossodoris nudibranch. I also managed to get a few video clips of them feeding as well, these are some of my favourite shrimp, just behind the coleman shrimp……
I could be posting about the Hairy Octopus, billions of Blue Rings, Wonderpus, Bumblebee Shrimps, Harlequins, Ambon Scorpion Fish, Hairy & Green Shrimps etc, but im too busy to go out taking pictures and im so out of practice it will be embarrassing to compare them to Bent‘s Pictures. In the mean time, Paulus and…
We’ve got lots of Critters around the Lembeh strait at the moment, but Blue Rings are still present in good numbers, and to be honest they are one of my favourites. I went on and afternoon and night dive to try a new camera, and he also came back with some video too. Here you…
On a recent dive our Dive Guide Paulus found this beautiful Tiger Cowrie (Crenavolva tigris) on a red seafan, which it feeds on. This Yellow-Black patterned Cowrie is a real beauty and well deserves the name tiger cowrie, which is also commonly used for the much bigger but also much less attractive and less rare Cypraea…
Over the last three days we were lucky enough to have a pod of porpoises staying just off our housereef. They spent most of the day doing these strange manouvers, raising and lowering their tails out of the water. We were even lucky enough to see them whilst freediving from a kayak, in the evenings…
On todays morning dive at Nudi Falls i found this cool crab. It is a very weird looking elbow crab whose colour and shape strongly remind of a skull – even though the shape is not really human … rather the one of the stereotypic Alien. So i will call it Alien Crab (i am…
Vivian and her two Friends George and Carolyn stayed with us in March this year. Now she just put up a trip review on her website. We thought we share this, as she put a lot of effort, pictures and information into this report. Thank you very much Vivian for this nice review 😉
