Indonesia - Lembeh Strait

Diving in Indonesia, especially the Lembeh Strait, offers exceptional experiences. What makes muck diving (diving in mud and sand) so special are the often very bizarre-looking creatures of the underwater world.

Electricity has often played a major role in my life since childhood. Especially in my vocational training and later in computer science. It is therefore not surprising that when I hear something like "Electric Clam", I feel compelled to visit these figures.

Hard Workers

Octopuses always fascinate divers. Watching them at work is magnificent. They are especially well-suited for video recordings.

Gangga Island: Life Underwater

Underwater life around Gangga Island is exceptionally beautiful. Here's a glimpse.

Gangga Island: What's crawling around there?

You don't always see big fish when diving. It's always worth taking a look at the many little creatures crawling around.

From small to even smaller

Take a closer look while diving... there's a lot to see.
The magic words are macro photography and macro video.

This is where a unique fascination begins!

Endless variety of shapes and colors

There are over 3000 different species of nudibranchs. At dive sites you can find up to 100 species in a small space. There are different variations within the species, so you'll probably see something new on every dive.

That's why I like to take always my video camera with me. Here are some scenes.

How to create squids?

Octopuses (cuttlefish) only reproduce once in their lives.

And that's where it gets serious... Check it out!

Where, when and how?

Yes, that happens too! Sometimes you see it when you dive.

Here are some examples. Check them out!

You can also find some explanations on the topic below the video.

Manta ray entangled in fish net

We humans have put a lot of strain on our environment and thus changed a lot. Often not for the best. The animal world suffers as a result.

Here is an example that gives to think.

Have a look for yourself!

Diving trip to Indonesia

Photographs from Gangga, Lenbeh Street and with the diving ship Pindio from Raja Ampat to Ambon.

The fascinating life of octopods, giant squids.

From island to island

Dive safari with Carpe Novo, Maldives.

Strong current, it was blowing like crazy. We were all secured with a reef hook and watched the spectacle.

Jucaro, Cuba

Diving with Oceans For Youth Foundation.

Due to the long blockade of Cuba, the underwater grounds are in very good condition and now well protected.

Not an underwater music

The Symphony of Bubbles - slightly different...

Even divers sometimes inspire new ideas.
