At Pulau Weh, most divers come to look for the \"big one\", the deep ones, the current. And me, who never does anything like the others, I have a lot of fun in a few meters of water at the edge of the beach, looking for small animals. <\/p>\n

The \"house reef\".<\/h2>\n

Welcome to the house-reef of the center Lumba Lumba<\/a>, on Gapang Beach, Pulau Weh (Banda Aceh, Sumatra).<\/p>\n

Among the usual small tropical underwater creatures, two new ones for me: one lacy scorpion-fish<\/em>, purple rhinopias with delicate lace (more famously nicknamed Larry by local divers), and a shy little mimic octopus<\/em>This is the place where the incredible Aris, one of our Indonesian guides, found us.<\/p>\n

\"Lacy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mimic<\/a><\/p>\n
