East Nusa Tenggara (NOAA CRW virtual station)This site's identity is uncertain — Anderson's own log notes they went to the wrong site by accident — though the dive itself featured an 8-foot manta, a nurse shark, whitetips, and terrain like hiking underwater. No coral-cover measurement exists, and the recorded position should be treated as approximate.
Identitas lokasi ini tidak pasti - catatan log Anderson sendiri menyebut mereka tidak sengaja pergi ke lokasi yang salah - meskipun penyelamannya sendiri menampilkan pari manta sepanjang 8 kaki, hiu perawat, hiu sirip putih, dan medan yang seperti mendaki di bawah air. Tidak ada pengukuran tutupan karang, dan posisi yang tercatat harus dianggap perkiraan.

Site description
Coral cover
- No cover was measured.
Stressors
No bleaching, disease, or other stressor is recorded for this dive (17 August 2009) in Anderson's dive log or the 2009 trip notes.
Fish and other fauna
The log describes an 8 ft manta, a nurse shark, white-tips, nudibranchs, and terrain like hiking underwater.
Comparisons with other data
Only one independent survey falls within 10 km — the WWF-US / WWF-Indonesia station TNK05 (Komodo MPA survey), 3.23 km away at 67% in 2016 — which at that distance is regional context and nothing more.
No photographs or coral-cover estimate have been attached to this site yet, and no survey sits close enough to describe the site itself.
Dive record
One dive, 17 August 2009, entering at 13:45 for 64 minutes to 25.0 m with a divemaster.
Other notes
The log opens by noting they went to the wrong site by accident, which matters more than anything else on this site: the recorded name and coordinate may not correspond to the reef actually dived, so treat the position as approximate and the site identity as unconfirmed.
Independent surveys nearby
Within 5 km, 1 independent survey station recorded hard coral cover in 2016. The most recent nearby survey is from 2016, so these values predate recent heat stress.
Collected by other programs using different methods, so these are context for the figures above, not a like-for-like comparison. Where a station was surveyed more than once, the cell shows either the range of its values or, as a single value, the mean of surveys made in one year. Station names are not dive-site names.
