Creature Feature: Paper Nautilus

Creature Feature, Critters, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerSeptember 9, 2020Leave a comment

Blackwater Dives are all about the weird and wonderful. Strange larval fish that you haven’t seen before, little crustaceans seemingly just floating around, and hunting squids are all part of the regular sightings we get here in Lembeh. One critter that is not so common but just as strange and interesting is the paper nautilus,…

Frogfish – Why do they Yawn?

Critters, Lembeh Behaviour, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerAugust 27, 2020Leave a comment

It’s a dream photograph for many, capturing that moment when a frogfish chooses to yawn. It happens very quickly so your reflexes have to be on point, and it doesn’t happen very often. Sometimes divers will spend a whole dive just waiting for that precious behavior to take place. But why do they yawn? In…

Cephalopods – How do they change colour?

MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerAugust 5, 2020Leave a comment

Most of us love cephalopods, and will never get tired of seeing them whilst diving. It is well known that Octopus, Squids and Cuttlefish are able to change colour and sometimes even skin texture by will! Today we are going to explain both how and why this happens. Cephalopods have something called chromatophores that lie…

Creature Feature: Bobtail Squid

Biology, Creature Feature, Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerJuly 15, 2020Leave a comment

One of our favourite subjects to see on night dives is the Bobtail Squid! Here in Lembeh we often see Berry’s Bobtail Squid, sometimes known as the Hummingbird Bobtail Squid (Euprymna berryi). These tiny cephalopods are always fun to try spot and then shoot, as their jewel like appearance makes for a great colours. Berry’s…

Poisonous or Venomous?

Critters, Lembeh, MiscellaneousBy NAD ManagerJuly 8, 2020Leave a comment

There are a lot of things to be mindful of when going diving. Making sure your buoyancy is under control, your breathing techniques and making sure you are not touching anything underwater are some examples. But why is it so important that we don’t touch anything underwater? For one, you might harm the marine life…

In the Blanket Octopus family there are 4 different species (Tremoctopus spp.) all of which share pretty much the same characteristics. Their…
