Falling Fishes in Batu Bolong

Menyelam itu selalu menyenangkan bagi saya, bahkan berada di tengah tengah ikan yang "biasa" pun tetap menyenangkan meski sudah berkali kali menyelam. Sensasi ikan yang berseliweran begitu banyak dan terkadang mereka bergerak serempak selalu membuat saya kesenangan, bahkan disini ikan ikan berwarna warni ini bagaikan hujan yang turun.

Diving is always fun for me, even being in the middle of the fish which is usually found is still enjoyable despite how many dives I've been. The sensation of fishes milling about and sometimes they move together in a perfect direction always give me pleasure. And here, this colorful fishes are "falling" like rainfalls.

Batu Bolong adalah salah satu spot menyelam di area Taman Nasional Komodo, tepatnya di antara Pulau Komodo dan Pulau Tatawa Kecil. Area ini merupakan persimpangan arus dari laut Pasifik dan laut Hindia sehingga terkadang arus cukup kencang disini.

Batu Bolong is a diving spot in the area of ​​Komodo National Park, precisely in between the Komodo Island and Small Tatawa Island. This area is the intersection of ocean currents from the Pacific and the Indian ocean which sometimes flows quite fast here.
