It is supposed to be rainy season here in North Sulawesi but the weather past weeks has been absolutely great! Sun is shining almost every day, some afternoons we have little bit of rain to make the nature happy. If you are planning your holiday, the good thing about Bunaken National Park is that you can travel here all around the year!
Every day Siladen Diving Center’s dive boat goes out to the Marine Park. This week we have had amazing dives around the islands. Couple of days ago one group saw manta ray in Fukui, yesterday we were spoiled with sharks, eagle rays and barracudas.
I have been here in Bunaken National Marine Park now over a year. Still I get excited on every dive, there is always possibility to find something new. Like yesterday in Sachiko dive guide Danny found a nudibranch we have never seen before.
I was doing Advanced Open Water so I didn’t have my camera with me. The nudibranch was pregnant, huge (about 12 cm) and green. Some thing had happened to it like it happens to frog fish when they grow very big: it is hard to see the edges anymore, the whole animal becomes blurred and unfocused. Very strange and still fascinating.
Look in National Geographic web page some amazing pictures of nudibranches.
