Details

The second dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren was also at Algae Patch.

I believe we may have overlapped partially the area from the first dive because I saw three Nautilus shells (and I saw one on the first dive). This was another enjoyable dive, especially with seeing 3 cuttlefish.

Others saw a turtle on the dive.
