Lightning storms, Eruption, New Advanced divers and great diving!
It’s been another busy and fun week in Amed with Bali Dive Cove! We have been having some seriously epic thunder and lightning storms, a few puffs from the Volcano and some great diving!
Erruption
Mount Agung had apuff the other day - the event was quite minimal but impressive to see!
Advanced Open Water Courses
This week we say a huge congratulations to Francesca, Richard and Jiyan on becoming our newest PADI Advanced Open Water divers!
After a day of fun diving, Francesca decided to further her diving training and signed up for the Advanced course. Together with her Instructor they discovered night diving in Jemeluk bay, advance navigation and buoyancy skills on the house reef and of course explore the depths and secrets of the USAT Liberty on the Deep and Wreck adventure dives! After a total of 7 dives with us, Francesca leaves us as a much better diver!
Richard and Jiyan also came to us to advance their diving. Lead by instructor Jim, they switched out the Night dive for the drift adventure dive to learn more about the currents and the best techniques to dive in them. This dive is best done from a traditional boat called a Jukung as when you drift with the current, the boat will come and pick you up at the end of the dive.
They had a fantastic course and are really looking like ‘advanced divers now’ well done guys!
Fun Divers
Fin, Julia and Ivan have all taken part in fun diving over the last week, Fin did 3 days with us, including 2 days early morning on the Liberty because he loved it so much!
Julia has returned to us after diving with us late 2018 and really NEEDED to see the Kubuship wreck - the one dive we didn’t get to see before!
Ivan is still with us for a few more weeks and has already dived with us in 2018. He plans to leave no dive site unexplored by the time he leaves Amed!
Edwin and Cor from Holland also enjoyed the beauty of the Liberty as a sunrise dive. They were super lucky on their dives and saw, a HUGE turtle, Peacock mantis shrimp, Nemo, nudibrances, big groupers, Bumphead parrot fish and were lucky to see a nice big napoleon wrasse swimming past.
Refresher
Meryl, who is a friend of Ivan decided to get back in the water after more than 20 years of not diving! Needless to say there was a lot of information to go through to refresh her knowledge and skills. After just a few minutes in the water everything came back to Meryl and she was a fish once more!
See you next week for more!
