Mantis Shrimp

Many of us do not think that mantis shrimp is a very special fish in the sea. Most of time, we just try to ignore it. Even sometime we pretended did not to see it. Really? did we? No! That wrong. For us, every creature in the sea is special.

Every creature have their own life style. How do they eat? How do they hunt for food? How do they avoid themselves from predator? Every movement can be very interesting for us. Try to spend more time to observe fish behavior.



Peacock Mantis Shrimp

This mantis shrimp is the famous mantis shrimp among divers. They have colorful body and sometime will come out from their hole.


Giant Mantis Shrimp

This mantis shrimp quite common here. They do not have colorful body and seldom can see them come out from their hole.

We Can Find These....!Believe or Not?

As a fish watching guide, we are trained to find small stuff as well. The question is how far our eyes can reach to these "Small Stuff". 5 centimeter or 3 centimeter? Maybe? But the stuffs below are even less than 1.5 centimeter. Believe its or not?

Macro lover always like to search for very small fish. It is one of the challenge. Challenge your own eyes. Once you get to find very small fish, you will feel satisfy. And sometime you will feel proud of yourself.

Do Not Think They Are Not Exist!

I think some of u might see these stuff before. But for those like big stuff, maybe they did not realize actually these kind of stuff are exist in our seas. They are small and some of them can camouflage very well until we unable to spot them even they are just in front of your eyes. Need good macro eyes then can find them. We have this kind of service. Believe it or not?

Still In Weak Internet Coverage

Here still have problem uploading photos. So, I still unable to complete my work many days. Anyways, here just pass you some information about Mabul, Kapalai and Sipadan Island.

These a few day, the weather is good. No rain no wind. So, the sea is very calm. But, the underwater visibility is not good even in Sipadan Island. Don't worry we still able to see big school of barracuda, big school bumphead parrotfish, jack fish......

Mabul and Kapalai still the same. A lot of nudibranchs, shrimps and crab, pipefish...... Now we also can see flamboyant cuttlefish.
