More Pygmies and More
Diving in Sulawesi never fails to amaze and delight. For diving guests fortunate to be in Gorontalo, we went back to look for those tiny seahorses today. There are not four but six pygmy seahorses on one sea fan.
At a muck site our dive master found a "White-V" mimic octopus, trying hard to move like a flounder, plus a very large Mimic Octopus with the banded arms, plus three cockatoo washfish, plus a couple beautiful red-banded Randall's alpheid shrimp. The list goes on.
For the third dive guests descended next to a school of hundreds of Purse-eyed scad, all swerving back and forth in turn-on-a-dime synchronicity. Those diving in Sulawesi's prime locations like Gorontalo can expect something special every trip.
