Whilst Wayan is still enjoying the surprisingly sunny weather in England, here in Bali we have been busy busy moving into our high season! Lots of happy fun divers, new PADI Open Water divers and a few first time experiences breathing underwater! We also enjoyed our Holy Galungan and Kuningan days.
On the 30th of May we celebrated one of Bali's most important ceremonies called Galungan. On this day, our ancestral spirits visit our homes. It is marked by a praying in the Temples in our homes and then in the big family temple. The ancestors are here for 10 days and then on June 9th they leave again and we pray again in the home and family temple. The next Galungan and Kuningan will be in December.
Congratulations to Zoe who completed her PADI Open Water course with us this week. She took to the water like a fish. Videos and confined were completed on day 1, then day 2 we enjoyed two shore dives in Amed putting all that we had learnt from day 1 into practice! After the dives Zoe passed the final exam with flying colours. The final day was an early start. Being picked up at 5:15 (yes in the morning!) to witness the beautiful sunrise at Tulamben followed by 2 awesome dives on the Liberty. It was a great way to end a perfect course!
Well done to Adrien, Elisabert, Sophia, Simone and Luca on Discovering the underwater world. They all enjoyed diving the famous shipwreck of the Liberty with the team. Lots of fantastic fish were seen and 5 VERY happy people who have experienced a new hobby! We hope to see you all again for your PADI Open Water Courses!
We had some awesome dives with Marisa, klaus, Brett and Damien. Everyone experienced the beauty of the Liberty, some as early morning sunrise dives and others at a bit more of a relaxed time! We had some beautiful drift dives, reef dives, wall dives with heaps of life and beautiful corals. Our friends from Pulau weh Karina and Nicolas come to visit. Nicolas completed his exciting Deep Adventure dive on Tulamben Drop off with buddy Karina. Good luck for the rest of your course Nicolas! We also had Manuel, Luca, Matthew and Olga diving from sunrise to sunset! Two dives on the liberty at the crack of dawn and a Night dive just after sunset.
