Life Begins

A Baby Cuttlefish about to hatch - we watched as moments later it hatched and swam away, changing colour as it went...only to be promptly eaten by a large Angelfish....(but that's the sad part of the story ...). Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Shot with a Canon 50D, 60mm macro lens, Nexus housing and Inon Z240 strobe.

Sea Turtles can live to be 100 years old, but most don’t survive their first few days. In the wild, the tiny hatchlings typically encounter a gauntlet of predators as they hatch and make their way from beachside nests to open water, and they remain especially vulnerable those first few months of life. When nature is in balance, this attrition is a normal part of the circle of life. But when turtles become threatened by factors such as habitat loss, or predators like fish and birds, they may need a little extra help to maintain a normal population. This is where Wakatobi Dive Resort has stepped in.
