The Report
It was really interesting to be back on the boat where I started my first full liveaboard work as the head divemaster onoard Sea Safari 3 for Kararu back in 2000 where the Kararu folks had whisked me away from Wakatobi Dive Resort with the lure of Liveaboard diving adventures on the islands of Komodo, Flores, Alor and later on the exploration trips round Irian Jaya too.
The cheery captain Pak Yan was still onboard Sea Safari 3 and had been calling and sending me text messages asking me about the intended route. It was great to hear that he was still really keen and cheerful as ever. I was surprised to see Sonny (the engineer) still onboard as well, just about all the crew had since moved on and many of the crew were very new. The boat, Sea Safari is fundamentally still the same with a few slight changes onboard. Sea Safari 3 being the oldest in the fleet for Sea Safari looks a little rough round the edges but it still makes a great dive platform and once everyone had been ushered to their cabins they all came out smiling. The level of comfort and the amount of space we all had was fantastic.
Sea Safari do not have any dedicated dive staff which works ok for me as I can bring onboard my own dive crew to suit each particular trip I make onboard the Sea Safari fleet. I had brought onboard one of the Indonesian guides who had always looked our clients for Bali trips when I was unavailable. Menyun had previously worked for Bali Scuba and we would only book with them for our clients when Menyun was available and the reports always can back with great praises for his professional manner, spotting abilities and his knowledge of marine life. Now Menyun freelances and will be working with Diving 4 Images on many future trips throughout Indonesia!
This wasn’t going to be your average Komodo trip, far from it! Onboard were a group of hardcore critter lovers who had been asking me for over 5 years to take them to dive nothing other than Bima and Sangaeng island, two of my personal favourites that are on the standard Komodo Liveaboard route. I had wanted to do this trip for years and somehow we always ended up elsewhere. I’ve took many trips and spent many days non stop diving in these areas.
Starting of in the islands north of Labuan Bajo, just for some exploration diving. I checked out a few spots and the second spot I checked had all the right habitat for good critter diving, I continued and checked a few others spots but this second spot was the chosen site. Our first dive revealed a few cool macro subjects but we all amazed at the big fish life that came by. An eagle zipped by a few divers, there was a giant thorny back stingray and a school of yellow striped jacks as well. The critter was not the best we had seen but with such an interesting habitat we had to check it out again at night…
Wind blew up a little too much so we moved to the other side of the island. Here we found another spot that looked like it could be a good habitat for small critters. On entry there was a mild current, though the current picked up and made the dive a little awkward to say the least. After 60 minutes the current the subsided and a few of us managed to find a few nudibranchs we hadn’t yet noted including the giant bizarrely named Asteronutus cespitosus, there were big lobster and a few other including a very unusual crab that was making its home in the large barrel sponges, not one of the small porcelain crabs, this was a much larger crab with slight purple markings. I’ll be keeping a look out for this on future trips for sure…
The weather on Sangeang turned out to be perfect and marine life was amazing, especially for nudibranchs and weird animals, which was exactly what we were looking for. There were only a few juvenile frogfish, we didn’t find any larger adults anywhere on Sangeang but they were seen in Bima. Of the ghost pipefish family we had plenty, a few different coloured ornate ghost pipefish, most of which were on new sites too, there was the usual robust, delicate, there were even some of what I think were the long tail ghost pipefish Solenostromus armatus, there was also a lovely velvety looking ghost pipefish too! A couple of the usual super hot critter sites didn’t perform at all so we only made one dive on these, even so we still found at least one really cool or totally new animal on every dive. However, a few other new spots came up with many amazing new critters, quite a few totally new to me as well! A few of the reefs we dived weren’t just mucky critter sites, there were also spectacular reef scenic dives as well. Bubble Reef was perfect with about 25-30m visibility and buzzing with small fish, Deep Purple was a bit of a wash out and we ended up in a drift dive, discovering some really interesting fish filled coral reef spurs from 14-20m and during the drift we even saw a few big eagle rays cruise by.
We had planned one of my favourite dive sites on this island for unique species and many really interesting nocturnal nudibranchs, though the tides weren’t going to be right, I wanted to avoid current, we had already been caught out once on Mentjeng Wall so I didn’t want any more current, especially on a night dive. We moved over to Bima and dived one of my old favourite sites in the mouth of the bay for a late night dive. It was good with a few interesting nudibranchs and a pair of huge ornate ghost pipefish. I always feel so sorry for ghost pipefish at night as they get so easily blinded by dive lights and especially strobes. I usually ask dives not to shoot them at night for this very reason but the temptation for most is just too hard to pass by. As this site was good but not excellent as it used to be I moved the boat deeper into the bay for some more serious critter hunting, where I knew we were going to find some other critters we had yet to find on this trip and hopefully a few more totally new animals as well!
We woke in Bima with another dive boat close by, this was the first other boat we saw the whole time out on this trip. I headed over to find out where the other boat planned to dive so I could choose alternative sites. There are so many great sites in this bay that it’s stupid to drop divers on top of another group here. We found a few really interested animals in the bay here, the list was great and on every dive we found something new. There was one really interesting nudibranch (see photo below) that we were unable to find any close ID on in any of the books we had.
- Just one of the new nudis to me. It could be Chromodoris tumulifera, thanks to Terry Gosliner for pointing me in the right direction. Not yet photographed in Indonesia on Nudipixel anyway!
We were really hanging out for more diving around Sangaeng so we headed out of Bima and over to the majestic volcano once more. I headed to another place we had yet to dive on this trip and divers were still amazed at the number and variety of sites this island had to offer. Again even more new species of nudibranch to add to our list and even more cool critters too! On our last day for a possible night dive conditions were just right and we eventually managed to dive on another of my favourite sites, this time my favouite site for nocturnal animals. I really wanted to dive this so much and as it turned out, it was off the charts. Not only was it great for critter action at night, there were a few divers who opted for a day dive and loved this site for the reef scenery and fish life too!
On our very last day, I wanted to try and go out with a bang. There were a few new sites we had dived previously that I wanted to check out again as we had been finding lots of really tiny nudibranchs and other tiny critters. As not everyone is into the super tiny critters I organized the diving so one group could go for a few larger animalsand one group for the tiny which I led on a site we decided to call Small Wonders while Menyun led other group at Sangeang Rox which is more of a reef dive with bommies scattered with lots of gorgeous black coral bushes and a great variety of coral, fish and some larger critters… Our dive on Small Wonders turned out to be non stop critter after critter with a tiny harlequin shrimp, a few different ghost pipefish and we only covered a distance of about 30m width and 20m depth the whole dive. Our group photographer Jayne who was new with her Canon G11 didn’t know where to turn next, poor Jayne went from critter to critter and had so many subjects it was hard to know who to go to next! What a great way to make our final dive!
In all we saw more critters on this trip than we had seen in many years diving in all other locations. Keep a watchful eye out for more forthcoming Sangeang Critter Cruises…
Guest Comments
Comments will be added soon, in short there were rave reviews from all on this, even Menyun, our dive guide with thousands of dives round Bali, many more in Wakatobi and other ares said “wow, Sangeang, I don’t what to say, it’s too much”.
