Reef-Art shows fascinating insights to an underwater world, 99% of the divers never see. Reef-Art is the "Fine Art" of macro photography. It's a passion! The passion to bring your audience something they don't expect, they have never seen, they have never imagined. Here we learn to perform Reef-Art photography.
Choosing a base camp in Kubu Indah is placing yourself in between an astonishing religious culture with magnificent temples and fantastic ceremonies, and the overwhelming underwater world of Bali, Indonesia.

Pescador is a small Island in the west of the Moalboal. Diving there will surprise you in any season. The mystical and spooky cathedral is worth a dive for its own. And we all remember the fantastic school of sardines. Will they come back again one time?
The Apo Reef: A pristine reef with rich life, located in the west of occidental Mindoro (Philippines), at the northern tip of the coral triangle. Don't confuse Apo Island with the identically named island in Negros oriental.

A rich biodiversity in one single dive spot? The Kasai Wall in Moalboal (Philippines) offers fascinating dives with a lot of critters, and sometimes big stuff too. I have seen many house reefs around the world, and The Kasai Wall is worth being called a very special one.
