Discover the mysterious world of muck diving this Thursday evening
Join Dive Worldwide on Thursday 16 March for a virtual talk (7.00pm-8.00pm) to learn more about the weird and wonderful world of muck diving, and the strange creatures to discover. The talk is led by award-winning photographer Saeed Rashid. Throughout the talk, Saeed will show his own photographs, such as those of frogfish, nudibranch, mimic octopus, and mandarin fish. For those inspired by Saeed’s talk and photos, he will be leading a pioneering diving trip to Indonesia’s Lembeh Strait later this year, perhaps the finest muck diving location in the world.
Lembeh, Indonesia, is an extraordinary destination for divers; dubbed the engine room of evolution. Here, one can find all kinds of magical marine life, including mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish and many varieties of frogfish. On this small group, expert-led trip, divers will spend 10 nights at the Dive Into Lembeh resort on Kasawari Bay, perfectly located for the muck sites of Lembeh Strait, two of which form the house reef. Any keen photographers will not be short of subjects on which to practice, and there is arguably no better place to develop your macro photography skills.
Divers without cameras will also enjoy the treasure hunt of finding these creatures, which are often perfectly camouflaged, with the help of expert local guides. The northern dive sites of the Lembeh Strait are also home to some exceptional coral reef dives to provide a balance of diving styles. Led by award-winning photographer, Saeed Rashid, the group will enjoy talks each evening in which Rashid recounts his adventures and shares his photographs. Price: from £3,295pp sharing, including 10 nights’ accommodation, all meals, 9 days’ diving, tanks and weights, evening talks, transfers and return flights from the UK. Departs 4 July 2023.
