Day 1
Met at Changi Airport Terminal 1 at 1240 for our flight at 240 on Garuda Airline. The excitement and adrenaline starts at this moment. Mola Mola, manta rays and sharks which we hope to see during our dives. Surfing lesson with Odessey surf school. Shoppings for cheap board shorts and rash guards.. Good seafood and indonesian food.
We arrived at Dempasah airport in Bali. We anticipated that there will be ppl asking for Taxis but there were done.
We checked into Bukung Sari Hotel at 630pm. ut our stuff and we were out for our first dinner in Bali. We were to a place where there's chinese and muslim food. We ate fried noodle.. the food is so so only.. then we walked around to Semeyak area for drinks and dessert. This place is well known for designer dresses and clothes. Dresses looks nice same goes for the price. Rachel and I order chocolate cake.. The cake is NOT NICE. It's as hard as sponge. We ate less than half of it..
After tt we all went back to the hotel to rest cos we need to leave the hotel at 710am the next day. The dive site is quite far. 3hrs on the bus..
Day2
After assembling at the hotel, we went to the dive centre to settle our equipments and wetsuit. Our dive instructor is Jimie and dive guides are Wadu and Heather.
We went to Tulamben dive site for a warm up and familiarisation dive. Rach and I haven dive for a long time while the rest of them r dive masters. So super stress so we will drag the rest down.. But the dive guides r quite good cos they took good care of us.. The 2 of us r in the same group and we had 1 guide to us.. =)
We did 3 dives in 1 day. Initially we thought we had night dive, but there was a miscommunication. There isnt.
We are going to do beach dives which I have not done before. We have to carry all the equipments and walk down the beach then put on the flippers in water.. We had beach porters to carry the tanks with BCD to near the beach area. They are women who's abt my height and they can put 2 tanks attached with BCD on their head. I cant even carry my own tank and they can do 2. I'm super impressed. Nonetheless I empathise them cos it's a very tedious work.
1st dive as at Drop off point. I saw blue spots stingrays. They camoflage at the seabed by covering themselves with sand. Also saw yellow strips angelfish.

2nd dive @ Liberty wreck. It's a US ship that was shot down by Japanese in 1942 (WW2). We saw Baracuda, "sand hiding eels" and a wall full of beautiful corals. It's especially nice when u look up the wall and corals and fishes reflecting the sunlight. Sui.

3rd dive @ Coral Garden. The most tedious dive. Cos there's no porter to help us carry our tanks to near the beach area. I had to carry my tank from the preparation area to the beach. We spotted a field of corals on the seabed, lion fish bumphead parrot fish. bumphead and sea turtle r on video. Will upload to you tube first.
