Details |
The 18th dive on the Pa Siren trip, the second dive off Komodo Island itself.
Manta Alley, as the name suggests, is a place frequented by mantas. Unfortunately for us, there were none there when we were. It was still an enjoyable dive with a few hawksbill turtles and an octopus that was tent hunting. |
