Bunaken diving

 

People around you make a big difference in doing something, also in scuba diving. In Living Colours the whole crew and other divers with us made my experience safe and lovely. Crew takes care of you and your gear, you just have to dive.

Dive sites near Bunaken are incredible. There are over 40 beautiful dive sites in the area of Bunaken National Park. The sites are full of life! 

With my dive instructor Petra we had a discussion about how easily you get blinded because of the reefs are so full of life and movement. Let me introduce you some popular and interesting fishes from our reefs, have an eye on these on your next dive!

Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator

You might see the elegant Emperor Angelfish in Indian and Pacific Oceans and from the Red sea to Hawaii and Austral islands. As a juvenile Emperor Angelfish is small and dark blue with blue and white electric looking rings. It is very shy and it takes 24-30 months for it to move to a adult colouring which is yellow and blue striped.

Moorish idol has black, white and yellow bands in it's body, it has small fins and beautiful dorsal fin.

 Work experience period with Living Colours

I was working for Living Colours for two weeks as a trainee and I really liked it. I was helping the crew with their jobs in the dive center, on the boat and in the office. Working here was really calm, chill and instructive. And colleagues, lovely! 

My last work experience job was in the Parliament of Finland. Coming here for doing my work experience was really good for contrast of working in different kind of places.

Terima kasih, Michaela <3
