Lembeh Strait: Diving with the “Aliens”
Everyone has their first time did something special and keep that moment for life. So does a scuba diver. During my diving trip, I have encountered several first time moments that made me smile every time remember those days. From the first time diving with tens sharks, to a long dive with mantas. And in Lembeh strait is the place where for the first time I encountered the aliens look-alike marine species, from hairy frogfish to just “normal” looking cardinalfish. The diving in Lembeh strait was addictive, and I wish someday I will return again, to dive with these “aliens”.

Dive Liberty Wreck
My group consist 4 divers for this trip and this is an important moment because this is the first time I dive with my own dive equipments – although I have made several dives at Liberty wreck but I always excited to make others, We pass the middle of ship straight to deep to find a 40 cm purple gorgonian where we find the pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti). We met a big hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) then we swim to the bottom of wreck and find something which hide behind corals. I come closer and see a red color and it has blink with bright blue white color like an electric neon. This beautifull biota known as flame or electric scallop (Lima sp.), feed from filtering water to get micro plankton. This dive spot is one of my best dive! As an wreck this spot has complete attraction for divers who come from all over the world. At the end of the dive we swim between school of thousand of trevallies.
