At KBR they are not exactly short of reef! Infact the Lembeh Strait, where you'll find KBR, has a reputation as one of the world's premier macro and 'critter' diving destinations.
But they are always looking for ways to add that little extra interest to your diving day. So Linda, Reservations Manager at Kungkungan Bay Resort (KBR), had the sparkling idea of creating an artificial reef close to our jetty. She rightly thought it would be very cool for guests and staff alike to see how it developed.
With enthusiastic support from Linda and the Dive Team they have got themselves a start-up structure – an old truck back, 'netted' the whole thing – and, with huge excitement, sank it a couple of days ago. Within minutes a fish swam through. For the record keepers amongst you, this was a Bridled Monocle Bream – or Scolopsis bilineatus. Since then the team have visited the reef a couple of times to find: a very large reef octopus and a rumiganey – the fabled pygmy sea dragon!
So, if ice, snow and cold were not enough to make you want to visit KBR, how about witnessing the development of a new reef? It’s in about 8m of water and is right in front of the jetty. In those fabled words, 'you can’t miss it'.
