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.
