Notes on Vent Field Description: 
location and depth approximate, pending data for depth range; http://divehappy.com/indonesia/manuk-the-other-island-of-the-sea-snakes/, accessed 26 May 2015: "You can smell the stench of sulphur as the liveaboard gets near to Manuk... There are hot rocks in the shallows too, ...where the warmth from the volcano bubbles up through into the water"; featured in Jonathan Bird's Blue World "Sea Snake Island" episode, e.g., see hydrothermal vent at 7:15 and bubbles at 7:30 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rqcigdJi3o, accessed 26 May 2015; not to be confused with "Manuk thermal area" of Papandayan volcano; relatively near this database record, potential new listing for shallow submarine hydrothermal vent field associated with Serua volcano (synonym Legatala) (https://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=265070) 6.312°S, 130.017°E;
