Wainilu, Komodo

Komodo

Wainilu is sheltered and has almost no current. The depth is about 5–20 m. This is a photo dive: sand and small coral, not a wall.

The nudibranchs come in many kinds. Frogfish, pipefish, seahorses, ghost pipefish, and octopus are on the sand. At night this site is still used. Entry is by boat. Do not stir the bottom.
