My reason to go there
Komodo is like the lost world to me, I wanted to see the underwater habitat of Komodo, they must be rich.

Thoughts
- Komodo is beautiful both above and below. Surface intervals is equally interesting as the bottom time. 
- I’m really glad to see >12 Manta rays in a dive, sometimes circling in groups, sometimes howering in a roll againts the current.
- Chasing dolphins !!

- Komodo Dragons are huge! But not as ferocious as I once thought.
- Traveling to Komodo and back to Penang was pheuuuu.... tiring.
