Nov 2009 - Diving with dragons

At the end of 2009 I spent 4 months diving around Indonesia, including Sumatra, Sulawesi, Bali, Lombok and Flores. I trained as a divemaster in the Komodo National Park with Reefseekers, an exceptional dive company based on Angel Island, near Labuanbajo in Flores. Every day on the Reefseekers boat one of the divemasters would give a marine briefing and mine was, of course, about sea slugs and nudibranchs.
