      It would be way more epic if I had bought a fishing rod or two. Komodo is famous for its GT fishing 😀

                    What is this guy thinking? Check out how he is looking at the photographer. He's not impressed.

                      My left ear played up a bit on the first dive. Lots of boats here for the second dive, which means lots of divers, and I don’t dive to see divers, so skipping the dive. Gave me the opportunity of photographing @Madame-Buttonfly as she jumped in…..

                      IMG_0574.jpeg

                      It’s a famous Manta dive, so FOMO already kicking in….😂

                          @Giles your photographer has not only overall good hand but damn good eyesight to find those little fuckers.
                          Loving the updates on BTW. Have you experienced any of those famous currents already?
                          I hope all is good with the left ear.

                            We’ve done Shotgun. Fun, but I have an allergic reaction to a dive that is described as “one of this regions most famous dives”

                            😀

                            Ear not perfect, but not hurting, so ignoring it…..

                                  We are with Scuba Junkie Komodo. We are having a great time, we are seeing a lot, and the soft and hard corals are spectacular. We are having a great time. Probably won’t come back though, some of the sites are very busy, and I think wr can do better. Liveaboard next week, same area so that will be interesting.
