Details
Dive 30 of the Raja Ampat trip in February 2013 on board the S/Y Indo Siren and the fifth of six dives in Dampier Strait.
The second last dive of the trip was a lot of fun. We rode the slight current around a sea mount. For some reason there were a lot of polyclad flatworms on this dive. I'm not sure why. There was also a couple of wobbegongs - one swimming around.
