"The Ring of Fire" is the fifteenth chapter of the series "Out of the Black & into the Blue". The Ring of Fire, also known as the Circum-Pacific Ring, is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterised by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes. The eastern part of Indonesia, between the east from Bali to Papua, is well known - by divers and dive operators - as "The Ring of Fire". All the volcanoes along the area and their seismic activity have created a unique landscape above and below the water. From groups of hammerhead sharks to whale sharks and manta rays to colourful vertical wall reefs with breeding barrel sponges, not to mention the unique creatures that inhabit these reefs.
