We were too far to visit the Manta Rays on this trip BUT we wanted to share a different dive with you. Diving with hundreds of Barracudas on our 11 month adventure was incredible. Click this link to see us in Sipandan diving with a tornado of barracudas; it was truly awesome. Read more about our Borneo journey from 2008.
