Français Another Indonesian island I love: the beautiful and peaceful Bangka. I first take you under the surface, among the fishes, in video.
My treasure island
See and see again ... The little island of Bangkain North Sulawesi, enchants me more and more. I discovered it in 2010. I went back there in 2013. I did it again in July 2015, after my incursions in Lombok and Bali. I can't get enough of it... 😉
I take you directly underwater, in video, to the wonderful site of Sahaung. The huge schools of yellow snappers with blue stripes are still there. Dense, abundant, spectacular. Everywhere on the reef, life abounds. I love this site!
Bangka Island is less known by diving tourists than the very popular Bunaken, not far from there... So much the better. We are quiet underwater, there are not many people to scare the fish. 😝
It is still a small, relatively quiet and preserved paradise, where, really, the quality of the underwater walks never ceases to delight me, year after year. In 2010, I had shot very similar images... It's nice to see, after five years, that the seabed remains in excellent health.
Back to Coral Eye
I went back to my Italian friends, Clara and Marco, who are the Coral Eye Center, which I wrote about here in 2013 (the link to their website → Coral Eye). Warm welcome, simple but impeccable comfort, "marine biologists" atmosphere, exceptional location on a superb beach, with a pontoon as I like them, just above the coral.
My conception of happiness ... ????
I will come back to tell you about the rest of this "farniente and diving" stay in Bangka very soon...
