Photo by Fabrice Rozier - on 07/04/20 Small pleasure of scuba diving, this nice brittle star resting on its soft coral cushion. We don't know the specy of this one. Brittle stars are one among the five branches of the echinoderms, so they are close relative to sea stars. We have plenty of them on the foreshore, you have to step on them in this area trodden by bathers and fishermen,scrapped by shore seines, in this area where grassbeds are dying, replaced by mud.
Off the lagoon, right south of the south pass, a reef, between 27 and 17 meters, striped by two wide canyons. When we first dove there, we saw a lot of turtles. We still see turtles there, but no so many, not so often. Well, the name still there. You can find beautifull samples of the local fauna and flora, especially two really big javanese morays, blackspotted rays, batfishes, snappers, big lobsters, leaf fishes...
