We are on the way to the mysterious Spice Islands situated in the middle of the Banda Sea in Indonesia.
Our destination is Ambon, the capital of the Maluku Islands,
and we are staying at the Maluku Diverse Resort close to the airport.
Red is the dominant color we notice on our walk among the stalls at the market.
It is spices everywhere but also underwater we meet spicy and exciting animals
and the color red is found here too.
However underwater it is only the cameraman with his lights who can show us the real color of these animals.
Without these lights, these rockfish and little squids just merge with the sea floor
as red is the color which disappears first underwater.
Here in Ambon it is hike and seek underwater. All animals try to hide the best they can,
either to prevent being eaten by other predators,
or to be not discovered by the odd little fish coming too close to the mouth of a well camouflaged hunter
which seem to be hiding here everywhere in Ambon Bay.
Ambon seems to be one of the hotspots of biodiversity in Indonesia.
Here divers have the chance to meet different species of the very rare renopias and with luck
they just lately discovered psychedelic frogfish, a frogfish species which has never been seen before.
Thank you for watching!
