Macro World of Seraya

20-23 Oct 2010
Apparently, we stumbled upon the perfect diving week for this site. Oct is the transition month to the rainy season, so there is higher risk of rain. However, we got 4 days of blazing sun, high vis, low/no current, low divers ... SAME-SAME but DIFFERENT Like lembeh, it is pretty much black sand diving. However, we had fantastic visibility of more than 20m+ Like tulemban, it is a rocky beach entry ... foot massage before and after every dive. Like lembeh (100% macro) but also very different. What sets Seraya secrets apart is that it is a crustesean haven. Harlequin shrimps are "common", coleman shrimp, tiger shrimp, commensal shrimps, xeno crabs, boxer crab ... etc Cleaning stations are also one of my favourite attractions, where you could find groupers, moray and also juv blue ring angels amids hundreds of cleaner shrimps. Other pretty unique finds are the Doto nudibranch. The best find for me for the opportunity to spend 1 hour with 2 Mototi octopus on the final dive. Oh, I forget to mention the different ghost pipefishes ... black, red and white.
