Sushi Sunday begins at 9 p.m. and goes until about 1 a.m. Because Topjian’s is a one-man once-a-week operation, the menu is small: California rolls ($4), eel rolls ($5), cucumber rolls ($3) and a twelve-piece California/eel roll combo ($8). He must compromise between authenticity and economy. “I’m trying to keep it as simple as possible for now and also accommodate what people want to eat,” he says. “People like California rolls and eel—that’s the reality...

Scuba divers have always had a soft spot for high-tech accessories. Take, for example, these bizarre-looking fins, designed to let divers fine-tune the position and even the flexibility of their blades. The Oscillating Propulsion System, above right, whips through water like an eel; a little weight inside the tip helps build momentum so you can cover long distances faster without working too hard.

...turtles graze on the marine foliage, and manta rays the size of tabletops pass below. At 30 meters the narrow, vertical frame of a two meter-long napoleon wrasse slices through the water in search of prey, while barracuda, flashing their vicious teeth, swim by alongside the occasional eel. Each successive layer of marine life draws the diver deeper. The only risk: running out of air before you get to see everything...

...when it does, Manado will be in grave danger. In Minamata, the population subsisted largely on a diet of fish caught in their bay. So too do the people of Manado. Every night, hundreds of stalls selling sea bream and garoupa and squid and prawns and crab and eel line the road that curves around the bay.
