Indonesia introduced us to the concept of ‘muck diving’ which doesn’t sounds very pleasant but actually is. Unlike reef diving, muck diving gets its name from the sediment that lies on the bottom of a dive site (rather than rocks, coral or sand). An environment rich in nutrients created by the natural sediments and detritus from plants, creates a habitat that is teeming with rare marine life including nudibranchs, frogfish and seahorses.

As these dives are typically very shallow, air consumption is reduced so you can benefit from much longer dives. These shallow depths also allow more sunlight to penetrate the water which enables you to see the colours of these amazing marine creatures.
