Details

The tenth dive on the Pa Siren trip and fourth at Gili Lawa Laut.

On this dive we rode a strong current in the channel between the islands, Gili Lawa Laut and Gili Lawa Darat. The current is very strong at times and we were moving pretty quickly for a couple of minutes. Once at the other end, things slow down and we had time to look around the reefs there. Right near the end of the dive a number of people saw a manta ray.
