Went diving yesterday at Crystal Bay, Nusa Pernida near Bali and lucked out in the third dive: Unspun and friends saw the coveted mola Mola or Giant Sunfish (pix by Unspun, touched up in Photoshop by Biji Jawa who's good at these things) These creatures are fantastic and weird of shape.

Unspun was in the Komodo Islands a couple of years back for a diving trip and paid a visit to the Komodo Dragons at the Nature Reserve there.The Dragons don't look good. They don't smell good.

Priyadi is second from right. That event has promoted us to think that we should perhaps organize a gathering for bloggers, which will be conducted both in English... Continue Reading →
It is a very long trip from Jakarta to Togian to dive. We left Jakarta at 5.30am and reached Togian only about 1am - more than 18 hours on the road. The diving was so so, the food was mediocre, the lodgings did not have AC but the people were friendly. All in all, its... Continue Reading →
Some will celebrate Indonesia's Independence Day tomorrow in parades but not me. Tomorrow I shall be in the Togians diving. Where's that, you may ask. Don't worry if you don't know.
