It was last summer, in July 2018. I was back diving in the waters of the Alor archipelago in Indonesia, to explore its gorgeous coral reefs... often swept by crazy currents !
It is called dugong or "sea cow". I was lucky enough to observe this fascinating animal in its natural environment, in Alor, Indonesia.
In the Philippines, Tubbataha Natural Park is only open for three months in the year. It is an underwater jewel, with exuberant coral and abundant underwater life.
In the Philippines, it is THE mythical encounter that every diver dreams of : the whale shark, the largest fish in the world.
