Friday 13 September Punya Lawa, Komodo

Poor Calypso were fated not to dive Cannibal Rock. Overnight the wind had increased in strength and this morning we had 25 knots blowing up our chuff and across the dive site making conditions less than happy. Plan B was to move north on the ebbing tide to an anchorage on Komodo island where we'd read there was also a possibility for a dive.

For once we had our timing for the current right and it was with us all the way into Punya Lawa, a sweet spot between the small Punya Lawa island and the larger Komodo island. The colour of the water over the shallow reef was perfect turquoise with the dark patches of coral showing up clearly.
