Es war Anfangs September, und wir waren gefühlt die Letzten, die Sommerferien gemacht haben. Diesmal stand wieder Tauchen auf dem Programm. Wir hatten schon lange vor, wieder einmal nach El Quseir ins Mövenpick zum Tauchen zu gehen. Wir waren das letzte Mal 2009 dort und speziell das Hausriff hat uns damals super gefallen. Darum ging es dieses Jahr wieder dort hin. Nun sind wir auch schon seit ein paar Tagen wieder in Zürich zurück.   Uns haben viele Fragen über die Anreise, die Lage, die Anlage, das Essen, das Tauchen, das Schnorcheln, aber auch über das Wetter, usw. erreicht. Jetzt ist der Blogbeitrag online, mit unseren persönlichen Erfahrungen, aber auch allgemeinen Infos sowie Tipps für Ferien in Ägypten.   Warst du schon in Ägypten? Wenn ja, wo? Würdest du es weiterempfehlen? Bist du Team Schnorcheln oder Team Tauchen?   Ich wünsche dir einen wunderschönen Sonntag!   Ort: Ägypten, El Quseir

Just wave & say hello when you meet this friendly turtle while exploring our exotic House Reef at OBLU Helengeli 🐢💚

The black, or Many-toothed garden eel, (Heteroconger perrisodon), can be found living solitary but most of the time, you find them in large colonies. From a distance you would first think that it is a field of sea grass. But when you come closer,  you see the field suddenly disappearing. When you have passed and look behind, they are up again. It is typical garden eel behavior to hide in the sand when something bigger than themselves comes close. And they do it also together. Only about 10 to 15 cm sticks out of the sand but they can be a big as 50 cm. In the sand their bodies are in contact and that way they can warn each other for danger. When you swim into a sandy patch, there is a big change you see them. Sometimes a shallow as 1 meter, so also snorkelers can see them well. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #bunaken #wonderfulindonesia #housereef #northsulawesi #manado #holiday #snorkelingholiday #snorkeling #diveholiday #divingholiday #scuba #scubadiving #diving #gardeneel #gardeneels #duiken #duikvakantie #tauchurlaub #tauchen #plongee #dyk #coralreef (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRSfPcRhbJ9/?utm_medium=tumblr

This pair of Cockatoo waspfishes we see frequently in the shallow water in front of our dive center. On this picture they are easy to identify as fishes, but in reality it is much more difficult. While laying in wait for small shrimp and crabs to feed on, they let them selves drift with the water movement, mimicking a dead leaf or a piece of seaweed. They prefer dusk and darkness so we spot them mostly during afternoon and nightdives. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #bunaken #housereef #wonderfullindonesia #northsulawesi #underwaterphotos #waspfish #cockatoowaspfish #holliday #snorkeling #scuba #nightdive #scubadiving #duiken #dyk#tauchen #plongee #diveholiday #diving #marinelife (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIuFth3hnKh/?igshid=1szm2txvek4b1

Beautiful pair of Hypselodoris tryoni. You see then often close to each other. This picture was taken in our house reef, where they are common. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #wonderfullindonesia #nudibranch #bunaken #housereef #snorkeling #diveholiday #holiday #diving #scuba #tauchen #plongee #dyk #duiken #underwaterphotography (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGThoIfhl4o/?igshid=153zan0z4xif3

Black Pontohi Pygmy seahorse photographed in our houseful by Björn and Henk. The black Pontohi used to be the 'Hippocampus Severnsi' as it was thought to be a different species. The first one described was yellow. But in 2016 it was decided the are both the same. So there are black and yellow Pontohi's. The black ones are more difficult to find though, probably due to their color that blends in better with their surroundings. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #northsulawesi #pygmyseahorse #wonderfullindonesia #housereef #scubadiving #scuba #snorkeling #duiken #tauchen #plongee #dyk #pontohi #critters #underwaterphotography #holiday (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBbY0sBm2u/?igshid=17up4fgurq09i

This Napoleon snake eel is easily distinguished by the colourful marks around his head. Snake eels are finless eels and can usually be found with just their head showing above the sand waiting for their prey. You see them more often at night but with a bit of overcast day spottings are common. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #snakeeel #wonderfullindonesia #bunaken #housereef #northsulawesi #diving #holiday #diveholiday #scuba #snorkeling #marinelife #coralreef #oceanlife #tauchen #plongee #dyk #duiken #critters (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFvfR1pBWam/?igshid=113x56xhzy86q
