This page links to some of the living seashells we have seen and photographed diving in various spots around Bali. Getting living animal photos of shelled gastropods usually requires patience. Disturbed animals tend to retract into their shells and often will not come out for some time. Generally our dive trips to Indonesia are of limited duration, and we will not spend the time to wait for a shell's animal to show itself, so the photos below represent only a fraction of the species we actually see there. Shells were neither collected nor measured in the field, so sizes given are just estimates.

Most olive shells are quite variable in shell color and are thus often difficult to identify. Many of our IDs are tentative.
