My second week in Amed was a busy week. Chao has been assisting Markus on a PADI Open Water course and getting to improve his skills knowledge and practice and to dive on USAT Liberty wreck again. In the meantime, I played playing the “casualty” for Florent while he was doing his PADI Rescue Diver…
Wow, Chao and I have overcome the challenges that have been thrown at us on our first week as DM intern with Two Fish Divers in Amed. A super blood wolf moon just over a week ago combined with tropical storm conditions off Australia have combined to make things a little trickier here in Amed…
Bumphead Parrotfish is one of the hi-light of the Liberty shipwreck in Tulamben.

From deep dive, rescue training, search & recovery to dive site management and mapping project to only supposedly simple water skill exercises (like swimming,…
We saw dolphins in the bay during a surface interval this week! It was a bit after lunch time when a couple of fins just pierced the surface in front of our restaurant at TwoFish Amed. If fishermen usually see them off shore, it’s quite rare that dolphins are cruising that close from the shore…
