Nick Hope Scuba diving at Bunaken Island near Manado in Indonesia. This is the best of the footage from my 2006 trip, including a baby whale shark at Lekuan.

Nick Hope This classic muck dive is also on the Sulawesi bank of the Lembeh Strait and is so named because of the clumps of weed lying on the black volcanic sand. The video opens with a striated anglerfish (hairy frogfish - Antennarius striatus) "running" across the seabed then squaring up to the camera, and closes with an Ambon scorpionfish (Pteroidichthys amboinensis) lunging at a small bypasser. In between we meet various nudibranchs including the distinctive Melibe viridis, an orange devil scorpionfish, a moray

Nick Hope Tiwoho is a village on the Sulawesi mainland, just north of Manado and pleasant boat ride from Bunaken Island. The diving here is different from the sites on Bunaken Island, and has a more "muck diving" feel. The video open with a school of striped eel catfish (Plotosus lineatus). We then meet a chocolate chip starfish (Protoreaster nodosus), a black juvenile ribbon eel (Rhinomuraena quaesita) and a juvenile harlequin sweetlips (Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides). Nudibranchs are common at Tiwoho, including C

Nick Hope Aer Perang lies on the Sulawesi bank of the Lembeh Strait. The name means "war water" originated because just after WWI a passing warship blasted a hole in the rocks to get at the fresh water. The video stars the weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias frondosa), for many the 'holy grail' of underwater critters. The video opens with Banggai cardinalfish which originate from Indonesia's Banggai island. Legend has it that a bag of these fish intended for an aquarium was accidentally dropped into the Lembeh Strait, wh

Nick Hope The video opens with a coconut (veined) octopus (Octopus marginatus) at Pantai Parigi in the Lembeh Strait, sheltering inside a broken glass. We then encounder an amazing mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) at "Aw Shuks" impersonating a flounder and banded sea snakes while fleeing from observers. This species was not officially identified and described by scientists until 1998. There are hundreds of comments on the old version of this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y... but please rate or comme

Nick Hope The Molas shipwreck was a Dutch cargo vessel sunk during WWII near Molas beach, just outside the town of Manado in North Sulawesi. The deepest part of the wreck lies in 40m water. A school of longfin batfish (Platax teira) circles the top of the wreck. At nearby Tanjung Pisok, also on the Sulawesi mainland, we meet orang-utan crabs (Achaeus japonicus) in their familiar habitat on a bubble coral (Plerogyra sinuosa) and a delightful tiny clown frogfish (Antennarius maculatus).
