Night Diving in Komodo

https://youtu.be/pfzre18odHs

I spent a week aboard the Indo Aggressor based out of the Indonesian city of Labuan Bajo. During the week at sea, guests were offered daily night dives. I dived each night and saw a lot of unique critters and interesting behavior underwater. The video above highlights some of the cool moments during our night dives.

Hereโ€™s a list of the creatures featured in the video above.

  • Decorator Crab
  • Bigfin Reef Squid
  • Painted Frogfish
  • Blue-Spotted Stingray
  • Spotted Flathead (Crocodilefish)
  • Needle Cuttlefish
  • Stingray vs. Cuttlefish
  • Spanish Dancer (Super Large Nudibranch)
  • Komodo Reef Octopus
  • White-Spotted Hermit Crab
  • Whitemargin Stargazer
  • Broadclub Cuttlefish
  • Lacy Scorpionfish (Rhinopias)
  • Bigfin Reef Squid
  • I previously posted a few exciting moments during the entire dive trip here. Also, I posted a few photographs from the trip here. In a few weeks, I will post my travel and liveaboard trip report.

    I find night dives interesting because you can see animals that you donโ€™t see during the day. Below is a video playlist that hosts a few more night dives from around the world. There are a few interest clips from Roatan, St. Kitts, Raja Ampat and the Bahamas.

    Today was packed with amazing impressions. On a motorboat we went from island to island. From yellow birds to colorful fish. From the Komodo Dragon to Manta Rays in the sea. We saw it all ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

    Dream come true. At Komodo Island. No guarantee is given that you see a Komodo Dragon - the King of this stretch of Jungle... And we were lucky ๐Ÿ€ ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป.

    We also saw boars larger than my waist height. Deer. Yellow birds. Huge blue ๐Ÿฆ‹ butterflies. But this encounter was by far the most amazing: the Komodo Dragon ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
