Time for a Bath
We were diving the volcanic reef of Sangeang Api, an active volcano in the Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia, when we ran into this cute black spotted pufferfish (Arothron nigropunctatus). The hot spring water was constantly bubbling through the black sand and reef, and he was enjoying a nice bath.
Fall colors - Southern California version!
We may not have the fall foliage like other places, but in fall we have our own fall colors. Fall is the best time to dive here. It’s time of the year when the water clears up and the giant kelp is luscious. The sea is calm, and the water temperature is not much lower than the summertime temperature.
Full of Life
Soft and hard coral, crinoids, sponges, sea squirts, etc… The reef in the Coral Triangle are so full of life!
Posing with Cuttlefish
This friendly cuttlefish didn’t mind sharing the rare photo shoot opportunity with Ronny, our handsome Arenui Senior Dive Master, and our team of beautiful underwater model.
Explosion of Colors
So many colors in this one corner of the coral reef. Beautiful and healthy reef like this is a typical scene you see around the Coral Triangle. This is why we keep going back to dive there year after year.
