Meanwhile in Pemuteran

by Capt Paul | Sep 28, 2017 | General News

Mount Agung continues to rumble

And Bali continues to be on high alert, we continue to look at fish. Not much else you can do, everybody is just waiting to see what happens.

For those planning to come, keep planning just be flexible. Remember the Icelandic eruption, it effected flight across Europe. You may have to land outside of Bali if the airport gets closed due to ash. But there is an Airport just across the straights from us in Banyuwangi East Java. Its actually closer than Denpasar. Same goes for those in Bali, There are plans in place for get you home if the airport closes.

For me, I’m here, waiting to see what happens. Be assured though that the Pirates of Pemuteran are all safe and well. We’ll keep you up to date if anything new happens.

Meanwhile this has been a good source of info, bit sensationalised on occasion but not the worse I have seen http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/859280/Bali-volcano-update-Mount-Agung-eruption-latest-seismic-graphs-news-maps-warnings-live

Cha…Cha…Cha…Changes

Some fish change dramatically as they mature from the juvenile to intermediate to adult stage. Let the expert pirates at Sea Rovers help you check them off your bucket list.

Batfish / Spadefish (Platax pinnatus)

I don’t have a photo of a true juvenile, so this is from photographer Todd Aki’s Flickr page

This is technically an intermediate phase since you can see stripes starting to form

Here’s the adult phase

Everyone loves Nemo

Always a crowd-pleaser, everyone loves Nemo. Anemonefish is the more accurate name for these guys–although most folks just call them clownfish. There are more than 30 different species of anemonefish.

All of these photos were shot in Menjangan. Let the expert guides of Sea Rovers find some for you so you can delight your non-diving friends with your pics.

Top 3 Photos from today at Mucky Pirates Bay

by Kat Ramage | May 29, 2017 | Kat Ramage Photos, Mucky Pirates Bay

The resident photo wench did another long shore dive today (138 minutes) at Mucky Pirates Bay with the helpful support pirate crew from Sea Rovers. Although not as productive as yesterday photo-wise (no trusty guide to find critters), I thought I’d post the top 3 shots. Enjoy!

Surprisingly, this little guy let me get close enough for the +10 diopter

One day at Menjangan–Eel Garden & Dreamland

Green, black & orange nudibranch (Nembrotha kubaryana)

Menjangan Island isn’t just about dramatic walls–there are lots of other small critters to see there if you look (or stay close to the observant dive guides). All of these photos were shot on the same day. The Sea Rovers crew along with guide Edy took us to Eel Garden first, followed by Dreamland. Long dives (60+ minutes) at both sites offered many photographic subjects–here are some of the best shots.
