I just returned from the trip to Bali, Indonesia.
This trip was underwater video shooting for TV documentary about artificial reef, Bio-Rock project at Taman Sari Resort, Pemuteran in Bali, Indonesia. Additionally, we made some footage at Tulamben and Nusa Penida island.
In front of Taman Sari resort, you can find more then 60 Bio-Rock structure and reef was amazingly healthy even in high water temperature. We could see these healthy hard corals on electirc wired structures giving positive effects on natural coral area as well. After few days of diving at this site, I can say Bio-Rock project is Bali’s most successful attempt at reef re-generation.
Much respect and thanks to Agung Prana, Rani Morrow-Wuigk and Komang Astika and all staff at Taman Sari, support divers from Bali Diving Academy for support us to filming.
