Healthy reefs set the stage as fish of all sizes dance atop the corals in an explosion of […]

Another Action Packed Week

It was another action packed week aboard Mermaid II as it voyaged from Bali to Komodo. Sunday evening we went for a sunset dive at Satonda Reef where we briefly interrupted a pair of mating cuttlefish. Dive guide Bob spotted a tiny pygmy squid hidden amongst the coral reef. Our first day in the National […]
