Details |
The 16th dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren. Nudi Rock is so named not because there are lots of nudibranchs there but because it looks like... well... a nudibranch. I'm kicking myself that I didn't take a photograph. It was a low rocky island that was sort of long. It had two trees at one end (the rhinophores) and a bunch of trees at the other end (gills).
There was a fair amount of current on this dive and I went through my air quite quickly. I did manage to find another Hippocampus denise which pleased me greatly. |
