It was this big!

Here at Reef Seen we welcome divers at all levels.  What could be more special for a father than to share his passion with his daughter.   Peter is an accomplished underwater photographer who has come diving with us year after year, bringing his family to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Pemuteran Bay.  In the early years, excited by the clean, sandy beach and generally calm warm water here, his daughter Billie learnt to swim and ever since she has been an avid snorkeller.  This year was a new landmark for her as she extended her skills with Discover Scuba Dives.  We hope to welcome them both back again for more....

Another beautiful day out at Menjangan on Reef Spirit.  Many thanks to Peter White for the pleasure of diving with him and Billie.  And some great photos too.  We hope to bring you more of his album later.

Oh! it's changed.

I live in a hole

I've been through the entire Debelius book of Crustaceans of the world and I can't find what it is

One in a million

OMG! Dives like this really don't happen every day or even every year - & I am taking an introductory diver at 11m for his 4th ever underwater exploration. We are diving from the Mangrove mooring westwards. The visibility is as clear as it can be top to bottom. Fish everywhere. Then below us the black tip reef shark cruises by in the other direction. Minutes later a middle aged (i.e pretty big)  Green turtle slowly lifts it's bulk from the reef to cross our path seawards. My diver shook my hand.
We continue our saunter along the dramatic wall interrupted by the masses of fusilier, mackerel and the rest around us - just the two of us no-one else in sight.
Making for the the ledge at 5m preparing to surface. No,  stop... what's that looming out of the blue - WHALESHARK!! a mere baby at around 5-6m. We have enough air to backtrack and follow it for a heavenly few minutes before it turns and fades back into the blue. OK, time to go, safety stop.  But no, my diver taps my shoulder - behind you, the magnificent beast is heading straight at us for a last encounter - awesome :))))
oh how I wish I hadn't flooded my camera

World Oceans Day

Reef Seen in Pemuteran has always prided itself in promoting a caring attitude to our fragile natural world. Every day our beach and shoreline are swept to remove the debris from stupid and careless people who seem to think it's OK to leave a trail of plastic behind them.  As a result we have a healthy reef and pleasant environment for everyone to enjoy. 

Today was especially important as our small local efforts get the boost of worldwide publicity from this internationally celebrated day.  To encourage a future generation to keep up the good work over 40 children from Pemuteran SD5 school came down to our beach this morning.

After signing the World Oceans Day pledge we armed them with collection bags, gloves and tongs provided by kind support of Reef Check Organisation.  They headed off down the beach and through the fishing village making a real impact.
