Good place, eh?
Thought from your mail you were staying nearby BRD.

Love that place! Did you get to dive with Samuel or Li Li? Awesome photos!

Thanks! Your gallery reminds me so much of Lembeh.. though I didnt see any rhinopias in Lembeh Strait. What was the weather like when you were there?

Love ambon too, nice shots
we're not lucky with rhinopea, another reason to return next year
hv you heard any Psychedelica sighting recently ?

@Luko, my email was to find out how to stay at BRD. thks for yr help!

the weather was perfect! but the current was very very strong! reef hook for muck ? is there such a thing? well we were there after a full moon so every dive was a fight to take photos.

the night dive ended up a drift dive, hahaha and we surfaced at the house reef.

err what is a psychedelica sorry? nudis?

i was just blown away by the rhinopias man. i stay in singapore and lembeh is a lot easier to get to then ambon. but a re visit is definitely on the horizon.

if you see from one of the photos, the remains of the tuna were a source of food for all the fishes, i wonder if thats the reason why so many critters were found there?

A "psychedelica" is a type of frogfish that was newly discovered in Ambon a couple of years ago.

Here is a picture of one.
