Macro Diving in Bali - October 2026

Some of the tiniest creatures I’ve ever filmed were found during my trip to the Tulamben/Amed area of Bali! Without my guide, I would have missed most of these fascinating little critters. Conditions: Water temperature was 82°F, with clear, calm seas. Most dives were 65 minutes. Camera gear: Sony AX700 camcorder in a Gates housing with Saga flip diopter wet lenses—I mostly used the +10, and BigBlue 15000 lumen video lights. (camera white balance was set to match lights). Surface clips were filmed with a GoPro. Post-production: Color grading in DaVinci Resolve; video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro.
