Diving in Bali

Photography, Travels, underwater

We finally were able to get back to Indonesia after this long break due to the pandemic. Bali opened to tourists in August this year.

We were happy to stay with Anna and Alex and their wonderful team at Bali Villa Dive Resort

We are editing all our images and uploading them to flickr in the coming days. Stay tuned for some exciting stuff.

Here some teasers

The tasselled Wobbegong

The wobbegong is a carpet shark  and thus spends much of its time resting on the sea floor. At daytime one have to look under rocks and overhangs to find them resting.

On our trip to Raja Ampat we came across the tasselled wobbegong (Eucrossorhinus dasypogon), one of the 12 species of the Orectolobidae family aka carpet sharks on a regular basis.

Luckily we found some of them laying in the open or even swimming around.

 

Here some video footage of a swimming wobbegong

 

It’s a fishbowl

Diving in the Raja Ampat area is a priviledge. I can’t remember having witnessed that many schooling/shoaling fish in other areas. Sweetlips, barracudas, snappers, fusiliers, batfish, trevallies, surgeonfish and bigeyes all gather into one fantastic underwater symphony!

Take a plunge into Raja Ampat’s fishbowl!
