The Digital Studio – the Seraya and Tulamben area are home to the world’s richest reef system. During Sea Life Festival 1998, Dr Robert Myer   counted more than 500 fish species between the world renowned Liberty wreck and Kubu drop-off. The wreck and drop-off offer dynamic seascapes for wide angle opportunities – massive wreck structure, barrel sponges, sea fans, soft corals, and schooling jacks. Just off the door step of Seraya resort, the macro life at Seraya Secrets and adjacent reefs are arguably among the best three locations in the world. The amazing array of critters frequently encountered  are boxer crabs, frogfishes, harlequin shrimps, blue ring octopus, pygmy sea horses, tiger shrimps, zebra crabs, schooling jacks & barracudas, mimic octopus, nudibranch overload – just about anything is possible! Sites are researched thoroughly to ensure dives are conducted at the optimum time.The Download Instructor this is your chance to learn from the PRO
