I found some old tapes of a trip in 2004 to Lembeh, Sulawesi, Indonesia. This must be my best trip ever - great companions, and great marine life shots. There was this strange frogfish (it's more knobbly and rough looking than the usual painted frogfish, which seems closest to it) ardently following a bigger similar one.
AND the dive guide spotted a mimic and wunderpuss octopi facing off one another. We arrived and they split: the 4 of us took turns shooting both of them. Glorious.
I was there for 10 days - first with the marine biologists, and then with my ex gf. The former did not see any of these things mentioned - they were found after they had left. And so i post these videos - for them and all else to see the beauties of these great macro dive site. I think it is the best ever - well I have yet to go to PNG and Wakatobi.
You can see these 4 video clips of Lembeh at the youtube link on the sidebar.
There is also a small clip of the marine bio on the boat..too bad youtube's flash conversion process pixellated the pics and garbled the audio. Watching the video gave me a good chuckle and brought back some nice memories.

Finally, I am here viewing your blgo. The frogfish looks interesting. I have yet watch the movie clip. It is coming 12 midnight now (thursday soon).
Anyhow, nice work and I am glad that I have found another place to gain more knowledge about Marine life.
Thank you!
God bless!

what is the squiggly wormlike thing swimming freely in the waters at the end of one of the videos? i saw it during night dive at molas house reef and wondered what it was.
