Bangka

In Indonesia, the pretty little island of Bangka is located in North Sulawesi, not far from Bunaken, Manado, and Lembeh. It is a peaceful haven for diving away from the crowds and exploring coral reefs teeming with life... Nature, calm, and pleasure. It is an island of dreams.

    The agony of the mola-mola

    It's just a fish, I know. No misery moved. Still, it's sad to see, a mola-mola in agony ... 
    We must start when we see his flamboyant dress orange and blue patterns, because the second after, it has disappeared into the depths of the coral substrate. (Pulau Bangka, Sulawesi, Indonesia, July 2010)

    A mandarin at dusk

    The flamboyant little mandarin-fish does not dare to come out of his coral den until dusk. I found it in Bangka (Sulawesi, Indonesia).

    The small critters of the reef

    In Indonesia, the word "biodiversity" makes sense. Here in the Sea of Celebes, the underwater world teems with bizarre and fascinating creatures, often tiny.
