Komodo islands, Indonesia

8/5/19

At the start of 2014 my family and I went to Indonesia. After taking a ride in a tiny aeroplane, we landed in the Komodo islands.The Komodo islands are a group of islands named after it's main island, which is host to Komodo dragons. These lizards are extremely dangerous and as a result, we had to be very careful when exploring the island.



We stayed on a boat for 4 days and 3 nights, while exploring the various islands and the scuba diving sites they offered.
The dive site that stands out is one where we went Manta Ray watching.
This was very difficult as the current was extremely strong. The only way you can move around is by crawling on the corrals on the sea floor. Manta Rays love this area as they have powerful wings that can weather the storm, allowing them to be stationary in the current and feed on the passing krill.



Scuba diving here was a dream!
