Open water course anyone??

Its been pretty busy over the last few weeks with many back to back Open water courses.

This course is the first step in your diver training, allowing you, once qualified to dive anywhere in the world to 18 metres, in similar conditions to those you trained in.

Lots of holiday makers take this course during their stay in Padang Bai, after trying snorkeling and seeing what is on offer just below the surface.

I always remember the saying "Standing on the shore, looking at the ocean is like standing outside the circus staring at the tent. There is just so much more to see."

Once you have tried diving, snorkeling will never be the same again, try it, you'll love it!

Mola Mola!

Yesterday, we travelled over to Nusa Penida. First dive at Manta Point; many Mantas, many divers! Next to Crystal Bay, again, many divers. There was another 24 boats in the bay so we thought our chances of spotting Mola were slim to nil. However, as we dropped in, a dive guide from another company signed to me that they'd seen 2 Mola Mola along the wall. We swam along to the cleaning station........nothing, then Budi, our lead guide swam deeper........he found a Mola but it was diving deeper. He tried again further back into the bay, and hey presto, MOLA!

Happy divers, mission accomplished.

We travel back to Crystal Bay again today, hoping to find more Mola for the group again. Wish us luck.
