Barely larger than a peanut, a pair of bobtail squids are presented to us in the light of the moon during their mating ritual. They float across the sandy seabed like ghostly beings, iridescent like an LSD dream come true. Right in the blue heart of Kusu Island, the two cling to each other with their puny arms to hand over the tiny sperm packets.

It's getting harder and harder for divers like us to discover a blank spot on our all too colorful dive map. Far, far away, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, we have finally discovered a new diving gem. Kusu Island. A dream in blue, green and turquoise, located on the North Moluccas between Halmahera and Bacan.

The World Oceans Day has its origins in the Earth Summit on June 8, 1992 in Rio de Janeiro and since 2009 this day has been celebrated as World Oceans Day by the United Nations. Celebrate this special day with us and OM-SYSTEM! Let´s celebrate one ocean, one climate, one future - together.

Deeply impressed and in awe, we enjoyed the view of a starry sky in the dark night. At the right time and in the right place, a spectacle of a very special kind opens up for us. The dormant volcanoes of North Sulawesi, illuminated by a powerful flash of lightning in the shadow of the Milky Way.

Finally! Southeast Asia has us back. Again. Welcome back to North Sulawesi. Around Bangka Island and the Sea Souls Dive Resort we enjoyed a third time endless white beaches and dived down into colorful coral landscapes and sandy underwater deserts full of bizarre creatures and crazy critters. So, no need for Lembeh.

For the second Instagram take-over of formerly OLYMPUS, now OM SYSTEM, we took visitors to the Caribbean. We followed in the footsteps of Spanish conquerors and Dutch colonizers - right in the heart of the Caribbean Sea - to Curaçao. A photographic foray above and below water with lots of photos and colorful stories.
