Weekly Dive Log #6: Swirling Barracudas and Meets the Sea Nomads of Togean

Wandering through the seas aboard our floating home, the MV Ambai, feels like an absolute blessing. The MV Ambai is a beautiful liveaboard that sailed us directly on the ocean and waking up at a new dive spot every single day.  

Over our past few dives around Raja Ampat, we have seen so many great and majestic creatures. However, sometimes we do not need to look for the biggest animals to be amazed. Simply watching a massive school of fish moving together as one can be an unforgettable and peaceful experience for us. 

Meeting the School of Barracudas 

As the MV Ambai sailed toward the beautiful Togean Islands, we put on our gear on the back deck and jumped into the cool water at the Apollo dive site. As we sank deeper into the blue, a large, dark shadow started to form in the distance. We swam closer and finally saw what it was: a giant school of barracudas!
