Deeply impressed and in awe, we enjoyed the view of a starry sky in the dark night. At the right time and in the right place, a spectacle of a very special kind opens up for us. The dormant volcanoes of North Sulawesi, illuminated by a powerful flash of lightning in the shadow of the Milky Way.

Finally! Southeast Asia has us back. Again. Welcome back to North Sulawesi. Around Bangka Island and the Sea Souls Dive Resort we enjoyed a third time endless white beaches and dived down into colorful coral landscapes and sandy underwater deserts full of bizarre creatures and crazy critters. So, no need for Lembeh.

How do you define luxury? The Coralia Liveaboard, voted the world's best liveaboard in 2019, gives us a very clear answer. Family atmosphere, cabins that resemble an oasis of wellbeing, first-class delicacies and excellent diving in Indonesia's most diverse waters.

There is hardly a diving area that is so rich in bizarre and quirky microorganisms that Bangka can hold its own. At the Sea Souls Dive Resort we went for critter hunting again and portrayed freaky skeleton shrimps, cute bobtail squids and glowing flamboyant cuttlefish.

A warm welcome in the northern part of Sulawesi, more precisely in the northwest of the island Bangka. There we visited the Sea Souls Dive Resort. Family atmosphere and individual, cordially service compared with an absolutely intact underwater world. Bangka, center of the coral triangle, seems to be the source of all critters and quirky microorganism.

Selamat datang to Raja Ampat. Again. Home of the manta rays and birds of paradise. Dive sites for sure on every divers bucketlist. Located in the heart of the Dampier Strait it is a place which reflects the pure beautiness of our blue planet above and below surface. And at least mantas, mantas, mantas. Here we go, let´s go diving!
