Ron Scholte's dive at Pantai Parigi on Oct 5, 2009

Description

Diving holiday Indonesia Bunaken Pantai Parigi is something different, this site has a healthy reef in the shallows, then a gentle white sand slope that is a good alternative to the predominantly black sand elsewhere along the strait. A superlative location for small Crustaceans, especially commensal species (commensalism is a class of relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is not significantly harmed or benefited). This slope also has a variety of Cephalopods, Frogfishes, Gobys, Mantis Shrimps, Seahorses, Devil fish and Robust Pipefishes. And if you are lucky a wonderpus or a mimic octopus. In the shallow part of the dive site the are some coral blocks where you can find pipefish, tiny sea dragons and some nudibranch.
