Details |
The third dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren and it was our last dive off Batanta Island.
This was much more of a muck dive than the two previous dives at Algae Patch. It was mostly sand with a few small outcrops of rocks. There were lots of nudibranchs, a couple of cuttlefish and a waspfsh. |
