The Mir, Menjangan Island

The Mir
We had the pleasure of spending a day on the Mir, a 100 year old sail boat that had made its way from Singapore to Bali!  Docked in a Bay near Menjangan Island, this boat held our dearly beloved, Oliver Bierman himself.  We were lucky to find him tucked away with surrounding volcanoes and the most beautiful skies I've ever seen!  We boarded and met the crew which consisted of many people deeply involved with studying and saving the coral reef.  We spent our last couple of days diving on unbelievable coral walls off Manjangan Island which landed us a few more black tip reef shark spottings, the pygmy seahorse(which is the size of half of your pinky finger), a frog fish, and thousands of species of colorful fish.
