Some pics from Bali

[bigbadwolf]

Did 2 days of diving at Nusa Penida, Bali, in late November. Had only a short time but was very lucky to catch 2-3 mantas at Manta Point. The rest of the dives were done at Crystal Bay and along the Northern coast of Nusa Penida. Bali is a great for diving and cannot wait to go back for more diving.

Great photos, I especially like the jawhead fish?? in the bottom photo.
What type is it, were they about to mate?

Hi Jamdiver

These are a pair of Fire Dartfish. I often see them in pairs, although I am not too sure if that means they are about to mate. It certainly means that they are a couple, though. You can find out more information from the link below.

Hi ScubaCo
I have always felt that Bali has lots to offer, especially for diving. I dived with Bali International Diving Professionals(BIDP for short). They have a website:

They are quite good, especially if you are going there to take videos or photos as they are accomplished videographers and photographers themselves. In fact, they have a very cool dvd which they will present to you at the end for your dive trip.

Hi Moderators
Not too sure if I am allowed to post the name of the operator I dived with as it might be deemed commercial in nature, though I am not affiliated with them. If this is not allowed, please feel free to remove my post. Thanks.
