Details

The sixth dive on the Pa Siren trip and first at Komodo Island.

A nice easy dive to start the day. Much of the dive was across sand with boulders covered in corals. Early into the dive I heard squealing from Sheree and Nicole. They'd spotted a manta ray and Sheree managed to get some video of it. No-one else got to see it.
