    Diving Komodo 4

    February 22, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Second day... we get up at 5am to go to Padar Island and climb up a hill to see the sunrise over the most amazing spectacle of landscape formation.
    After a long time of being awed by the view, and recording a birthday video for mum, we make our way down and prepare for the next dive after second breakfast (while on board we had hobbit-like eating patterns, eating every 1 or 2 hours). I must say that with all that activity and keeping our bodies warm underwater (water temperature ranged feom 26-28 degrees) we were hungry all the time!

    The fifth dive consisted of exploring a series of crevaces and caves as well as oggling at a 40m deep wall reef with the most spectacular array of corals and fish. Also, there was so much going on that one didn't know where to look!
    We spotted some interesting small crestures like nudibranchs and shrimps as well as the odd moray eel.

    Unfortunately, again the camera fogged up. But also, we were so deep that little light bounced off the underwater spectacle in order to catch good enough footage.
