Pulau Manuk
Manuk is a small, uninhabited, still-steaming volcano roughly 100 km south of the Banda Islands. Its black-sand slopes, hard-coral reefs and gorgonian-covered ridges are famous for large numbers of curious olive sea snakes and banded sea kraits; warm water and gas bubble out of the sand in places. Huge barracuda schools, fusiliers, Spanish mackerel and dogtooth tuna pass by, hammerheads, mobulas and eagle rays are seen fairly often, and a muckier side even has mandarinfish.
