My Manado pix!

[Achilles Tang]

I just came back yesterday from Manado.

Great dive destination... stayed at the Kima Bajo Spa resort and dived with Odyssea Divers.

Dived at both Bunaken and Lembeh... the reputation of it as THE place for muck diving is undisputed... I have never seen so many firsts in one dive holiday before... even better than Sipadan!

I got a new Canon A620, Inon 2000 strobe/ultralight rig, Inon macro lens and here's what I shot...

Here's some clownfishes...

Hawkfish...

Peekaboo!!

Ghost pipefish... blending really well and looking like a leaf or seagrass!

[Achilles Tang]

So many species of clownfishes are seen at Manado!

"Honey, are you done with your cooking pot shopping yet??!"

[Achilles Tang]

What a sight! My first giant hairy frogfish!

Mimic octopus... it simulated a flounder while swimming away!

[Achilles Tang]

A real flounder...

Nudibranch at Lembeh... note the black volcanic sand... great for photos as it doesn't reflect light and provides good contrast against the subject.
