Sunrise over Hamlahera

Into the dragons throat - diving inside a subsea volcano

March 6th 2015
Im not an early riser. On the 28th of September, I watched the sun rise over Hamlahera barely able to stop smiling at what I new was about to come. As a geomorphologist living in Australia where we have a grand total of zero volcanoes, to wake up and watch Dukono Volcano puffing out billows of smoke every few minutes added to my anticipation. Located on the eastern tip of Hamlahera, Dukono has ... read more

Hiya :) I'm a 50 year old free spirited lady from Australia who just updated her profile because I realised i am no longer 46 and am also not Peter Pan. I like to spend life doing ridiculous things and have no intention of ever stopping. I've taken a year off to explore the planet and reward myself for well, years of work.. Im very much a seat of your pants traveller and totally irresponsible. Most of my travels are spur of the moment run away from home episodes and my teenage sons are cool with this.

Excellent adventure!
How fabulous and wise to make your dream come true--diving twice in a volcano and swimming with sweetlips (love that name)! Good for you for entering the vent--how many people have the nerve and skill to do that and to see what few have seen? Incredible video--what a great memory of your perfect day! Glad to hear that you're be going on another expedition--I look forward to diving with you again.
