Bat Island

My first trip to the islands around Komodo was in 2009, not long after I got my Advanced Open Water certificate as a diver. To be honest, scuba diving this area is not really a good idea for an inexperienced diver, but there were only five divers on the boat and the dive master was forgiving of my inexperience.
