Details |
The 14th dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren. This site was so named because it had tiers of different levels of reef much like a wedding cake.
Another interesting site with lots to see. We saw more pygmy seahorses and a couple of mantis shrimp on the move. |
