Details
The nineth dive of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren and our second dive at Magic Mountain.
Another dive with Kassandra and the ladies. Again, Kassandra didn't point out any macro subjects again but we still managed to see a lot of cool things.
Part way through the dive we crossed over with Nicole's group and Sheree accidentally went with them. It took me a while to work that out but fortunately we cross over with them again and I got my buddy back.
Towards the end of the dive we came across a wobbegong under coral head which was cool. There were a lot of batfish in the shallows as we did our safety stops.Buddy
