Indonesia - North Sulawesi
2 certified divemasters more on this planet... YESSSS, we did it!
"Merci Bjorn - be careful with this bottle... ;-) Many thanks Jim and Carey and to the whole Eco-Divers crew - we had a fantastic time!!!"
Mokupa, das Dorf, in dem wir einen Monat lang mit Indonesiern lebten - im Haus ganz rechts wohnten wir!Soccer fans may already have noticed the Italia flag - the WHOLE village was Italia fan!!!
Our kitchen/ living roomJoyce, Helena, Emily, Esther, Prima, Ellen, Mona, Merry - it was so cool to meet you guys!
Das ganze Dorf roch staendig nach "Naegeli" (cloves), welche wie ein Teppich zum Trocknen ausgebreitet liegen! Gewuerzhandel ist einer der wichtigsten Wirtschaftszweige von North Sulawesi und macht Manado zu einer fuer indonesische Verhaeltnisse reichen Gegend!
Our alarm clock every morning at 6.15am, directly in front of our window... The loudspeaker with which the village people were informed about the day's events and duties -
Unser allmorgendlicher Wecker um 6h15 - der Lautsprecher mit welchem die Dorfbewohner jeden Morgen an ihre Pflichten und die taeglichen Events erinnert werden - direkt vor unserem Fenster!
Every morning, we were driven by motorbike to the dive centre.
Nach einem eher langweiligen Tauchtheorie-Studium wartete unsere Belohnung in Form von ausgiebigem Tauchen im traumhaften Bunaken National Park auf uns! Und Ausfluege nach Lembeh Strait oder Bangka Island waren wunderschoene Abwechslungen zum Tauchen im National Park!!
Often, our diveboat was escorted by two dozens of dolphins and, twice, even by pilote whales!!!!
These creatures (pix made by Michael Aw) stand for the whole fantastic and partly weird underwater world of Sulawesi... Frog fishes, scorpion fishes, pink leaf fishes, great green turtles, mandarin fishes, seasnakes, mantisshrimps, seahorses and stargazers and a lot more...
Pigmy Seahorse
Stargazer
Frogfish
Clownfish, aka Nemo...
Wenn wir nicht tauchten...
A rather disappointed Marco at Pizza Hut, in front of a full-size pizza... God, after two months of rice and fish only, I was so much looking forward to a real treat, i.e. a nice big pizza...
Sulawesi, we will definitely miss you!!!!!

Marco - that pizza is about one bite for you!! Did you snort it whole? More beautiful pictures of my favourite Swissies.... looks incredible and so do you both (although you both look like you need a few big macs!). Grosse Muntsch and say a big hello to my Australia when you get there!! Liebe dich, Megsy
Wow, ur divemasters now, thats fantastic !!!! Sulawesi sounds really great, I'm jealous being stuck here in the netherlands. Keep up the site guys, its great to read what ur up to and the great things ur doing. Take care, big hug from the dutchie
Hey Petra - great to hear from you! Hope your start back in the netherlands was not too tough? Heard that the Nijmegen walk you were looking forward to was cancelled due to the heat? - Wish you luck finding the right job and take care!!
Marco and Nat, apa kabar? Kamu berdua kejam ya tidak pernah email di Eco Divers.
Hope you both are doing well.
Love and kisses from; Helena, Esther, Joice, Merry, Sandra, Berry, Nona, Ellen, Melky, Prima and so on.....
