Treasure House

Diving in Gorontalo is indeed an adventure as divers found this week. In addition to our regular list of marine marvels, we managed to find and photograph too many ghost pipefish to remember and two pairs of exceptional Ambon scorpionfish (Pteroidichthys amboinensis). Even the extremely rare and tiny Teddy bear crab made a mercurial appearance before somersaulting off its rock. With the depth of focus so small, the slight surge made the cute creature in the viewfinder impossible to photograph. This week proved once again that Gorontalo is a treasure house for diving in Sulawesi.
