Deep dive, Navigation dive, Night dive and these photo's show their Photography and Fish ID skills Erin, slate in hand, pencil at the ready. Oooo. Look greeny fish Biowreck looking like a thriving little eco system. This is your Captain speaking. I'm hovering at the moment, so please leave a message after the bubble. Bloop. Guys you could have chosen a better back drop. Thats better. Peace wench! Erin heading out on the Cynical Seahorse on a quest for fishy adventure with Sea Rovers Brethren Chris, the same with the Vicous Guppy and Nasty Nemo at anchor in front of Sea Rovers office behind him. Whoohoo! I'm an Advanced diver! Congratulations guys, you did well. The Captain

Hedi's review

This nice review was sent to us by the daughter of Hedi. Time to test the google translate button. Fuer uns “Weltenmeertaucher” war es der erste Besuch in Bali. Wir waehlten die Tauchbasis Seerovers auf Empfehlung von Freunden . Wir haben den Besuch dort nicht bereut und sind fuer die Empfehlung wirklich dankbar. Was uns natuerlich gut gefiel war die an der Tauchbasis und am Strand direkt angrenzende neue Hotelanlage mit 2 Pools. Keine langen Wege, keine Hotelburg, sondern kleine Gebaeude mit schmuckem Zimmer , Freiluftdusche und Toilette, eingefuegt in einen zauberhaft angelegten Garten. Es gibt dort eine wirklich gute Kueche und der Preis absolut fair . Tip: Lasst Euch taeglich mit Saeften verwoehnen, die werden naemlich alle direkt aus frischem Obst zubereitet, sind koestlich und kosten wenig. Die direkt am Strand liegende Tauchbasis ist klein aber sehr fein. Die Tauchlehrer und das gesamte Personal sind voller Freude bei der Arbeit. Alle sind locker drauf , und stecken D

Once again the dread Captain Slackbeard strikes as I catch up with the Brethrens photo's. Night diving 'Mucky Pirates Bay' this time. Carefully does it lads thats a hoard of razorfish. One false move and there'll have ya all mincemeat like in a flash. Oh No, they spotted us! Swim away, swim away...AAAAAaaaaaggh! Have they gone? Good. And here is another frogfish. A face only a mother could love. A full winged lionfish giving us the classic fish tail shot. Pretty wings though. And finally a really nice Nudibranch. And thus endeth another nice lot of images from the brethren. The Captain

Richard Rigby's Really Good, mainly Menjangan Island,Photos

Captain Slackbeard strikes again. Another group of photo's that have been here a little while (though not as long as Nicola's. Cough! ). Are those of Mr. Richard Rigby of the British International School in Jakarta. I do have an excuse though. I run a dive centre and have to work (occasionally). Which tends to strain me brain and make me forgetful of things like sorting out and Photoshopping the hundreds of photos the Brethren leave with me. I digress. Nice one this of a porcelain crab and a tiny, tiny anemone fish. If you know how big porcelain crabs are you'll have an idea of the size of the fish. NEMO! on the wall at Menjangan Island by the look of it. Secret Bay catfish all in a row. Crab in a feather star, no idea what its doing. Ex-resident giant frogfish. He spent a good few weeks on the stern mooring block for the Vicious Guppy before moving on. The Caves at Menjangan Islands South side. Anchor Wreck at Menjangan Island. Can you spot the Anchor yet? Well can you? Oh

Nicola Symberlist, Fish-eyed wonders

Image
Been a while since Nicola and her family were here and I have to say that I have been a bad, bad Pirate. I completely forgot to post these fish-eyed wonders. Can you ever forgive me Nicola? I shall go fall off a boat right now as punishment for my crimes :-) Captain Me drifting along the wall at Menjangan Island Captain Paul again obviously trying to figure out the settings on me camera Ok figured it out. Lets get a nice wide angle of the wall. One of our Favourite sites these days, The Coral Bommie, with the Biowreck and Bioboomer structures next to it. Diving here helps to support the Reef Gardeners. Top of the Coral Bommie, tons of colour, teaming with life. What more do you want from a dive? Thanks Nicola for all the pretty pictures. The Captain
