Details |
The 15th dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren and the second dive at Barracuda Rock. It was also a night dive.
A fun dive with a pygmy squid and lots of spider crabs. Ewe and Thomas found a cuttlefish but chased it into deeper water. I did a quick bounce to 16m to get a photograph. We also found an epaulette shark hiding under a coral head. |
