First dive of the 'New Year'
Yesterday was Balinese New Year, Nyepi, Day of Silence. A very sleepy day at Padang Bai, with no guests and, of course, no diving!
Today, we're back in business! 2 x dives Blue Lagoon, an old favorite with divers. First dive was to Tanjung Jepun, where there is a small fishing boat wreck and an artificial reef developing. The wreck is at 17 metres, been there for approx 2 years now, and the corals and sealife are getting a hold on the boat. It seems to have a resident Frogfish, who lives on the bow. Came across massive cuttlefish just beyond the wreck, who sat and sparkled at us for a few minutes, before being spooked away. Sometimes we come across the Odyssey submarine at this dive site; its a weird sensation, hearing and feeling the subs vibrations through your whole body. Then, suddenly, out of the blue, come a huge white submarine, with little guest faces at the porthole windows! Surreal :D
So, selamat hari raya Nyepi (1932) tahun baru to everyone for yesterday, hope you too had a peaceful day in the quiet of Bali.
