SERIRIT NORTH BALI INDONESIA

SERIRIT NORTH BALI

Seririt,the place for the best underwater pictures in Bali, in 3hrs driving from Seminyak the famous Bali resort,start early in the morning at 6am from my villa Kumpul-kumpul in.Approahing the sandy beach there isn't much to see (neither an official beach organization),however as long as you start diving you may find soft coral from 6m to 25m deep.Those soft corals could be the subject of some magnicifent photos. I was lucky enough to be with the master diver Daesuke of the Papas-dive center.The sandy sea

bottom is full of soft corals, and a big surprices to me was tha I shot the rarest so called Zembra batfish,the

mimic octopus,the ghost pipefish, the small soft coral goby, the urchin shrimp,and many of nudibranches.I can reassure you tht Seririt will offer you a great deal of chances for great underwater pictures. At the end of your diving day, you may enjoy a light traditional dinner at the small (warung) Balines restaurand.Papas dive center is always very well organized to help you with any of your diving request or any problems might arise.

COLEMANS SHRIMP, SERAYA BALI INDONESIA

SERAYA SECRETS
Two hours drive from Seminyak Famous Resort area in BALI ,arrive in to SERAYA, Located in 3m to 40m in frond of Scuba Seraya Resort,about 4km south of Tulamben North BALI this sloping black sand site, with coral and sponge oases has become one of the major macro havens of the Indo-Pacific, constantly producing Harlequinn shrimp,ornate ghost pipefish,mimic octopus and lots of other sought-after denizens.
The setting could not be more perfect for snorkellers,with Mt Agung clearly visible in the background and colourful rows of traditional [jukung] fishing boat lining the sandy beach.You can easily see the bluespotted rays,crinoids and hard corals below.
According to Daesuke my stellar dive guide in BALI from Papasdive, night diving here is also a promising proposition.
Nudibranchs,triggerfish ,sea anemones and a host of other invertebrates are commonplace here,but you will want to keep an eye out for the emerald-coloured mantis shrimp,Colemans shrimp host in urchin,
The best place for professional Photographed, most of me Photos i take here.
Thanks to Mr HARRY from Bali Cyber Cafe & Restaurand for help to burn the photos to CD.

THE TULAMBEN WALL

Should you want to take a break from wreck diving, there is a good coral wall beginning just off the eastern end of the beach. The rocky knoll southeast of town plunges straight down into the sea, and coral grows along its face. You must be cautious whom you dive with or what group you follow, as the fine gray sediment here is easily stirred up.
The Tulamben Wall is known for rare species, including the Longnose Hawkfish,
Large barrel sponges sprouted from the slope, and sponges in general, like the tube, vase, and encrusting sponges were abundant here. Once we left the wall, the coral grew only in small knolls.
The final part of dive was a short glide over black sand. This environment, though it may appear featureless at a first glance, is the home to many skeleton shrimps, ornate ghost pippefish, and juvenile scorpionfish.
Women from nearby village transfer the dive equipment on top their heads. Mimpi Tulamben resort provides for good Bali lunch and coffee. Papasdive offers an excellent service in affordable prices. Once more I would like to thank Daesuke for helping me to shoot my most interested underwater photos.
