Triton Bay or Halmahera?

Here are photos. @Laval

Great photos! Many thanks. It looks like there is not coral bleaching over there. Right?

There was a little but not to the degree of Central RA... although many anemones were bleached.

Socorro! Maybe one day me and my husband will make it there
Palau is not very easy on the pockets but the diving is really good. The bumphead parrotfish spawning was really something.
Ahh congratulations on being a new mother!!

Ah Bastianos and NAD, have checked them out before and will keep in mind the next time we go to Lembeh! Thanks for the information.

Ah yes! After the Lembeh-Halmahera-Lembeh trip White Manta is heading towards Sangalaki.
By the way, we have just confirmed the Lembeh-Halmahera-Lembeh trip today. Should there be no unforeseen circumstances, we might cross path on this trip!

To get to Tarakan is fairly easy you get there via Balikpapan or Jakarta and then to Tarakan. As far as I remember, Garuda does not fly to Tarakan so I guess it would be Batik Air which you need to buy extra luggage on top of the free 20kgs if you bring your own dive equipment and camera.

Hi there, I am curious to know about your Lembeh Halmehera trip on White Manta. We have dived in Lembeh and Bangka and absolutely loved it but we had a very disappointing LOB in Raja Ampat so very cautious about LOBs in Indonesia. We heard greath things about Halmahera from our guides in Lembeh and Bangka but I am seeing mixed reviews everywhere on it.
