Details
The sixth dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren and the third of 15 dives around Misool and surrounding islands.
We descended next to a school of chevron barracuda and were amazed by the huge number of colourful fusiliers. After enjoying these fish we headed deeper and moved along the reef. Ongko, our dive guide, pointed out lots of interesting animals including a number of pygmy seahorses. We also saw batfish, mackerel and jacks.
