Dive #2: Tatawa Besar, Komodo, Indonesia

• Time: 30 minutes
• Max depth: 16 meters
• Temperature: 27 degrees Celsius
• Visibility: 15 meters
• Current: 1-2 nautical miles per hour
• Slope coral
• Fish, etc.: Parrot, Black Tip Shark, Sweet Lips Fish, Turtle.

A current carried us at a comfortable pace past the coral. We just oriented ourselves and drifted--we didn't have to swim. All four of us held hands and glided by the coral and fish in a line.

A turtle swam within three feet of us! I spotted him 30 feet away and watched him glide gracefully between us. He wasn't afraid.
