A few days ago a tourist was waiting for his boat in the harbor of Gili Air. He was carrying a seastar with him. One of our customers saw it it and asked the person what he was doing. The person wanted to take the seasstar back to Belgium, as a souvenir. After a long talk about not taking things out of the oceans, the person gave the seastar to Pablo. The seastar was at that moment more than 22 hours outof the water. Pablo put the seastar in a bucket of seawater to see if it was still alive. A Yes it was, Pablo has released the seastar in front of Oceans 5 dive resort . Hopefully it will be there for a long time. Please dont take everything out of the oceans as souvenir. Most of the things will be used by animals, or are living creatures.

The Gili Islands are famous for their turtles. All around the 3 little islands on the north side of lombok you will find them. It doesnt matter if you snorkel or dive the turtles are always around. The most common turtles around the Gili Islands are the Hawksbill and Green Turtle , but there are also Olive Ridleys. Oceans 5 dive resort is taking care of 50 little Hawksbill turtles and 1 big Olive Ridley turtle. Twice a day they are getting food and new seawater. The little ones are growing fast and the big one is still recovering of an injury. But yesterday Oceans 5 dive resort released a few turtles. they were released close to the oceans, and a few minutes later they found the water. Hopefully we see them later duing some dives... Happy travels little ones....
