Sulawesi Sea Slugs

Loading
The Indonesian archipelago lies in the middle of the area of the highest marine bio-diversity in the world. This site, named after the island we first visited, covers many other areas around the country.

Update 26 October 2011

  • Sea Slugs updated - lots of new species added and additional images. We have increased the image size to help make identification clearer.
KLM Aurora

We cruised on the KLM Aurora from Alor in the east along the north of the archipeligo boarding in Alor and finally leaving this lovely and friendly boat in Bima, Sumbawa.

The trip from 10 June to 4 July 2011 was a specialist nudibranch research expedition that resulted in a total of 410 species (over 100 of them undescribed).

We also saw many other underwater wonders and the site has been updated to reflect this abundance.

raja ampatIn March 2007 we visited Raja Ampat, north west of West Papua on board the MV Odyssea 1.
This fascinating journey took us to another magical area, introduced us to new diving friends and provided many more images.

 

We visited the North East Sulawesi peninsula including the Bunaken National Park, Banka Island and Lembeh Strait in June 2001, 2002 and July 2006. We stayed at the Hotel Santika, diving with the wonderful Thalassa Dive Centre whose great guides led us to wonderful creatures on the reefs and dark volcanic sands during our many expeditions.
