Details

The 19th dive on the Pa Siren trip, the third dive off Komodo Island itself.

This was a dive on the remains of a boat wreck. It wouldn't be considered a wreck dive at all because there was so little left of the wreck. What was left provided a reef for various fish including long-finned batfish.
