Part Time Traveller. Full Time Dropout.

Indonesia

Lembeh again, and its Cephalopods.

November 6, 2018 by inge Leave a Comment

I’m on the road again. Enjoying the critter hunt at Lembeh, the fantastic dives, the sun, the friends I’m meeting again, the new friends I am finding. But. The new camera, hyped by everybody, is not up to my expectations. It is primarily an actioncam, but it really can’t deal with macro. Well the old … [Read more…]

Better late than never: Raja Ampat Critters – in March

November 6, 2018 by inge Leave a Comment

Reader, I am deeply sorry. When staying at Papua Explorers in Raja Ampat, uploading photos and editing posts is somewhat difficult, the internet being far away and not always even a little bit accessible. And after coming home, many things, not all of them positive, happened that kept me from updating this blog. But since … [Read more…]

Sick in Lembeh.

February 28, 2018 by inge 3 Comments

Last time I went to Lembeh, my Gopro misbehaved. This time, my health gave out. After two days of diving, I got a bad cold. I thought I would be better today, but my ears are completely blocked. I hope I can dive tomorrow. But, I have a new camera with me. And the first … [Read more…]

Close and Awesome Encounters

December 8, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

In my short but intensive diving career, I have seen Mantas often and in various locations around Indonesia. So I was excited to go diving in the Komodo Marine Park, I hoped to see Mantas, but I did not expect anything even more breathtaking. I mean, Mantas, yay, I love Mantas. However I was wrong. … [Read more…]

Scorpionfish and others…

December 8, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

Apart from the Mantas, which deserve a post of their own, underwater life at Komodo is diverse  and colorful. I’ve seldom seen as many Scorpionfish in one dive. Besides, the currents make diving interesting here. On the same coral slope, we encountered down currents, currents in variable directions, upcurrents, and all that while well staying out … [Read more…]

Cast away at Komodo

December 8, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

The more I am travelling around Indonesia and its diving resort, the more I am gravitating to the really luxurious and beautiful ones. Why spend time in less comfort? Komodo Resort and Dive Club, in the middle of nowhere on Sebayur Island, fits the bill. Nice accomodation, italian food, beautiful surroundings. Sunsets. Wine. CHEESE. Great … [Read more…]

Yet another Maluku Island: Ambon

November 26, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

‘Twenty hours from Banda brought us to Amboyna, the capital of the Moluccas, and one of the oldest European settlements in the East. The island consists of two peninsulas, so nearly divided by inlets of the sea, as to leave only a sandy isthmus about a mile wide near their eastern extremity. The western inlet … [Read more…]

The Colours of Halmahera

November 26, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

Maybe it is a good thing tht my little Gopro went dead on Lembeh. I was not able to shoot any photos and videos while diving Halmahera, but luckily I have good dive buddies. My friend Martine agreed to give me some of her photos, and they are indeed magnificent. Dear readers, find below some … [Read more…]

A perfect day on Halmahera

November 16, 2017 by inge 3 Comments

The sun is rising from a perfect, calm sea. It is shortly before 6am. Another beautiful day. The bird noises are really loud. The birdwatchers have left the resort already at 5am to see the birds of paradise, and whatever else they can find. I have pineapple pancake and coffee before the dive boat leaves … [Read more…]

Up Lembeh Strait without a Camera. Well it could be worse…

October 31, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

What is the definition of bad luck? Starting the autumn diving season in Lembeh, and discovering at the first dive that the Gopro is dead. It was still blinking the night before. Some analyzing and internet search in the afternoon let me suspect that the batteries are (probably) ok, the cable is ok, the loader … [Read more…]
