Nice Nudibranch (I think too!) Christian
Early morning exercise before diving.
Shot on hanging bridge between Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. Fantastic waters for diving and cultural interesting. Rather unspoilt by mass tourism.
Surface interval :-)
The Komodo Dragon is quite an animal. The boat in the background is our liveaboard. I highly recommend a trip to Komodo. Both above and below the surface, it is rather unique.
