I am sorry I haven’t been posting anything recently – it has been a bit difficult mustering the motivation these days. Today I came up with an idea to help me change that, and I now have a way to help me eliminate the difficulty…

Not exactly sure which species of guard crab this is (even with my ID books), but I like the super aggressive posturing by such a relatively tiny animal.
This species of shrimp has been on my list of ones I was hoping to see some day, but they’ve been quite elusive… so imagine my surprise when we found multiple of them on the same dive… and not just in the same spot, but…
Another closeup shot of that coconut octopus from the other day…
A handful of dragonflies photographed at Jiwa Damai…
Again, I’m not sure if these are true Thecacera pacifica nudibranchs, but they are definitely in the Thecacera family, and thus likely qualify as Pikachu nudis – especially the second one… and definitely more so than the darker black one I posted before…
One of the last couple days during my last stay in Bali, I borrowed a motorbike and went for a ride up into the hills and then along the coast. It was a little bittersweet as I knew I was leaving, but I am pretty…
A colorful Desirable Flabellina (Coryphellina exoptata) nudibranch photographed on the USAT Liberty wreck.
If you watched the cephalapods video from the other day, you may remember the small clip with a squid. I also attempted to take some still images with the 100mm macro lens, but they didn’t come out so great. Thankfully, because it was not a…
Continuing with the shaky video, here’s another one I put together… again, mostly shot with the 100mm macro lens, and mostly of several coconut octopus we found during a night dive at a muck site not far from the resort. The clip of the squid…
So I have been trying to shoot more video with the 100mm macro lens. When the results are good, they are really good. There is a definitely steep learning curve with keeping things stable and in focus, but I figured I would share this video…
Today’s video is the real treat… Ales is from the Czech Republic and is paralyzed in three limbs (only has function of one arm), but because the underwater world is a different set of physics, Juan was able to see past the difficulties and we…
Ok – a bit a treat for you here for this and the next post… while working on my Dive Master certification here at La Bila, I’ve also had the opportunity to do some fun dives with some of the guests and I’ve made a…
I have no clue what kind of moths or butterflies these caterpillars turn into, but they’re still beautiful in their own right.
