Today we awoke at sea as we ventured ever closer to the renowned Raja Ampat Archipelago. We started the day off with two presentations. Firstly, Heather delivered her talk on symbiosis followed by Adam’s talk on sharks. Soon after, we arrived at our site for the afternoon.
Once lunch was finished, we boarded Zodiacs and made the short transit across to the limestone cliffs which were fringed in coral. As soon as our masks hit the water it was clear we were in for a treat. There were a myriad of different fish species and healthy coral colonies as far as the eye could see. We spent two hours in the water before returning to the mothership to steam across to our next location.
