Video Contest – October 2021

Description: Bunaken National Park in North Sulawesi - Indonesia is home to an enormous biodiversity and has one of the highest fish species counts in the whole world. This is not surprising as it is located in the heart of the Coral Triangle. This video focuses mainly on the common reef fish found on the walls and in the shallow coral gardens that surround all of the islands in national park. Most of this is shot around Bunaken Island, the main island in the park. The schooling Chevron Barracuda's are found at Mantehage island and the Whale shark in the end was shot in the blue water as it was passing through the park. Whale sharks are not commonly found in the park and divers have to be very lucky to see one. Usually each year a handful of sightings are reported.
