My favorite dive site is called Fish Soup. Here, the fish soup is in the sea, to be enjoyed underwater!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>Sites full of life<\/h2>\n<p>In 1992, a violent earthquake hit the Maumere region. A tsunami has razed whole villages. The deadly wave destroyed 18,000 homes and killed nearly 1,700 people.<\/p>\n<p>The seabed has also been damaged. As a result, Maumere Bay has stopped attracting divers, who prefer the spectacular bottoms of the Komodo archipelago, 500km west of Maumere, at the other end of the island of Flores.<\/p>\n<p>But today, almost twenty years after the earthquake, the coral reefs of Maumere have regenerated. The bay offers sites full of life, rich in fauna, both for the \"big\" and the \"small\".<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2172\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/UW-maumere-043.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2172 size-full\" title=\"Diving in Maumere, Flores, Indonesia.

My favorite site, the aptly named Fish Soup, is splendid, teeming with life. I dived there three times, and each time, white tip sharks appeared from the drop-off. We also regularly met turtles. And I was even lucky enough to see the graceful flight of a school of eagle-rays...<\/p>\n<p>The internet connection I have here is not powerful enough to put videos online. So I will put online later my little shark movies made at Fish Soup.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are some underwater pictures.
