pictures from Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia

We're staying in Tulamben for a few days before we hop on a liveaboard to Komodo Island. The muck diving at Seraya is amaaazing. I've never had this many photo ops! These were shot with a Canon T1i + 60mm lens in a Sea & Sea RDX-550 housing, and one Sea & Sea YS-01 strobe. Only my 4th time with this rig, so bear with me. My other strobe malfunctioned so I'm kinda giving up on using my fisheye for now. Below are some of my favorites from our 1st day of diving here.

Finally, a shot I can be 100% proud of. This is the tiniest frogfish I've ever seen.

You don't believe me? Here.

What kind of shrimp is this?

This baby clearfin lionfish was the size of my middle finger.

I believe your un-id shrimp is an "Anemone Shrimp" (periclimenes brevicarpalis)
Pacific Clown Anemone Shrimp (Periclimenes brevicarpalis)

Your photos are really wonderful with great colors and sharpness (goals that too frequently are not achieved in my photos).

Awesome photos! That was the location of dive #3&4 for me many years back. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Nice shots
We love Tulamben and Seraya too.
try night diving - more critters will come out.
