We all have our favourite underwater animals, and below we have showcased the top 5 as selected by the team from Siladen Resort & Spa in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

 

Turtles

JMR 191231 7283

Bunaken Marine Park, close to Siladen Resort & Spa, is home to a huge amount of turtles. The vast majority are green or hawksbill, although loggerhead and olive ridley can be spotted here too, and leatherbacks are known to patrol the deeper waters. Siladen’s white sandy beaches are important turtle nesting grounds, and the team are very lucky to see multiple nests hatching every year.

Pipefishes

The waters around Siladen Resort & Spa have a large variety of pipefishes living in the marine park, including various species of seahorses, pygmy seahorses, pipehorses, pipefish, and ghost pipefish — including the very rare red variation of the halimeda ghost pipefish.

Cephalopods

From Siladen Resort & Spa, encounters with cephalopods are almost guaranteed on a diving trip to Bunaken. Among the highlights are blue-ringed octopus, reef octopus, coconut octopus, bobtail squid, broad club cuttlefish, and the flamboyant cuttlefish (just to name a few!)

Anthias

These little reef fish are just one of the reasons why Bunaken has such colourful reefs! Threadfin, purple, and square spot anthias are common sightings at many of our diving and snorkelling sites. They can shoal by the thousand, although within this shoal are smaller subdivisions known as ‘harems' where one colourful, dominant male lives with up to 12 females.

Anemonefish

If you want to understand how diverse Bunaken Marine Park really is, just check out our anemonefish variety. On Siladen Resort & Spa's house reef alone, there are at least eight species of anemonefish — each with their unique host anemone, and often complete with other mutualistic species such as porcelain crabs or shrimp.

This week on the podcast, a fairly damning report on the Red Sea Authorities following the Sea Story sinking. A couple of new records including a photoshoot at 50m and an underwater walking distance record. And a Malaysian dive resort has had its licence officially revoked by the government.

#AskMark - hey Mark. Thanks for all your great content. Can you please discuss the ins and outs of Partial vs Continuous Blend (and “banked” - if that’s different) nitrox? I know you need an 02 cleaned cylinder for PB but not for CB? Can you go back and forth between air and nitrox fills with CB or banked? Thanks!
