Diving from the Gigantic to the Macro

The rough weather that has caused property damage in North Sulawesi has also affected Gorontalo with rough seas. Miguel’s Diving has been safely able to provide guests with two dives every day because of the various alternatives here.

This morning in blue water we were diving the City Limits dive site. We started at the tanker wreck. Since this is the first group ever to have dived this huge wreck, we were able to determine that it rests in 50 meters (165 feet) of water. The propeller is at 26 meters. Gorgonian sea fans and purple gorgonian whips decorate the deepest end. The wreck lies up side down and has buckled in the middle, providing access for large snappers, sweetlips, and the intrepid diver.

After the deep portion of the dive, we explored the shallow reef crest to purge our nitrogen build-up. There we discovered a baby Painted frogfish (Antennarius pictus) and a tiny Boxer crab (Lybia tessellata) and a spectacular Harlequin shrimp (Hymenocera picta). One guest was clearly audible underwater as she screamed with delight.

Miguel’s Diving is currently fully booked until December 27th.
