 The
island of Sulawesi in the Indonesian archipelago lies in the middle of
the area of the highest marine bio-diversity in the world.
The N E Sulawesi peninsula
includes the Bunaken National Park, Banka Island and Lembeh
Strait.
We visited the area in June 2001, 2002 and July 2006 and stayed at the Hotel
Santika, diving with the wonderful Thalassa
Dive Centre whose great guides led us to
wonderful creatures on the reefs and dark volcanic sands during our many
expeditions.

 In March 2007 we visited
Raja Ampat, north west of Papua New Guinea on board the MV Odyssea 1.
This fascinating
journey took us to another magical area, introduced us to new
diving friends and provided many more images. |
