Details

This was our third dive on the Pa Siren and second around the black sands of Sangeang Island.

Highlight of this dive was the sea fan with resident pygmy seahorses. With the aid of the +2.5 diopter lenses in my mask, I was actually able to see these tiny fish for the first time (not through the camera). There were many different species of nudibranchs.
