Details |
The 14th dive on the Pa Siren trip and the only dive on Padar Island.
The site is made up of three pinnacles of different sizes, like The Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains. The plan was to swim around each one and on to the next. Unfortunately, the current was very strong and also variable and we really only got to swim around one. |
