Manado North Sulawesi

Hi folks,

Back home from Indonesia :-(
Stayed in the Santiki hotel in Manado.(perfect service, but they dont accept dollars older then 1999 :-( )
Dived in the Bunaken National Park with Thalassa divers.
Nice walls full with nudibranches and some pygmee seahorses.
White and blacktip rifsharks.scools of barracuda, batfishes etc
One of the divers also spotted a dugon dugon.

Also visited the Bangka Islands in the north, beautifull soft corals, pygmee seahorse and frogfishes !!!

But the highlight was diving in Lembeh Straith
Some very strange things there lol (see gallery)
We went there from Madano with our guides from thalassa.net, but it's a better idea to stay in a local resort and use the local guides (some off them have 10.000 local dives)

Regards

Raymond

I tried to offer some ID's on your critters pics, but I was not able to add anything in the comments box. I know some of your critters and would like to help you label them. Any ideas of why I can't get any text in the box?:mad:

The spellchecker modification we added interfered with the comments part, so we turned off the spellchecker feature till we have a resolution, but in the meantime comments are now back up and working.
