* Eurypegasus Draconis


I found this fish when dove in Tanjung Jepun;PadangBay and surprised cause always be there. Now I would like to suggest my customers especially under water photographer to dive here. Famous by the name Pegasus and including elusive fish under water. It's length to 10 cm and be in depth 1 to 50 m. This fish more active in the evening or at night and usually in pairs. When captured will sometimes freeze in displayed position and appear dead. Periodically shed layer of mucus to prevent build up of growths on body.

* Aggressive marine Life

As long as my experience working as Dive guide, I have seen many marine life that people note as aggressive marine life. I was ever seen Oceanic white tip shark, Great Barracuda, and the most frighten 'Bull Shark'. When I saw the last one., this funny cause I didn't recognize it and just thought that was a reef shark;(mostly kind of shark founded in Bali)...but now its size only bigger

That was time I have three customers that came from Thailand. They are new instructors who just finished their IDC over there. They took our program 3 diving in Menjangan Island. When we did the 3rd dive, and had been 15 minutes spend dive time, I saw in the bottom...around 8 meter below me, one big shark..swam slowly. I was happy and want to show to my customers. I gave sign to got attention and point the position of this big shark. Suddenly all of them gave me sign for came up. When we were in the surface, do you know what they were told to me? 'Indra' almost screamed,...why you didn't tell us if there is 'Bull Shark' here ? and me with confused replied,'Oh was that Bull Shark..?

Even some diver in Bali ever seen the frightened marine life same like me, but we never heard about shark attacked, or accident cause aggressive marine life here. My opinion The most really aggressive marine life are Titan Trigger Fish. Do you agree with me?

* Sunfish on February 2010..???

Yes..! this is true and not lie.., I met with my friends today and informed me, they saw the giant Sunfish or Mola-mola yesterday, when they were diving in Crystal bay, Nusa Penida,Bali; Indonesia. And what funny about it ? they saw in shallow water cause one of my friend took student for open water course.

This rare condition cause I posted about this fish before and wrote usually appear at the end July until The first of October and in the deep places. I wrote it based of my experienced when dove there and met with this fish.

I thought this only lucky but in the bottom of my hearth hope this will make no limit time to see this fish and Bali will have special thing to share with other divers. Now just always believe in open water we have chance to see anything. Have a nice dive....

* Bali Diving Activities

Squat Lobster

This creature little bit difficult to see with naked eyes, that's why better to spend a few time to look thorough. Usually found in sponge,.

If you interest to see this creature, you can diving in the wreck, coral garden and drop off Tulamben, Bali.

Remember to bring your underwater camera, cause you still have chance to see other unique and rare creature over there, such us ghost pipe fish, pygmy seahorse, leaf scorpion fish and many things.

Underwater photographer usually will spend 2 or 3 days diving in Tulamben dive sites and still found something new. Hmmm I believe in open water we have chance to see anything.
