St. Stephen’s Day diving
December 28th, 2008 | Posted by in 10-IndonesiaAs the diving was so good on Christmas day we decided to go again on St. Stephen’s Day (Boxing Day). With Zoe being a dive instructor we were allowed to hire the equipment and tanks ourselves. Much to the amusement of the locals, we hired a moped to carry the equipment saving on transport costs. Both were off the shore so we didn’t need to hire a boat.
The two dives cost a mere £14, an absolute bargain and the sites themselves were the best that I have done. Our first was a Japanese ship wreck starting at 5m and with its deepest at 15m. The visibility was superb and the coral was amazing, which you’ll see from the pictures.
Our second was close to our hotel starting at 6m and a coral wall dropping to 80m. Again, the visibility was amazing even when we dropped to our maximum of 30m. The coral wall was beautiful but damn scary, all you could see when looking down was complete darkness. Having assessed my diving and buoyancy skills, Zoe has assured me that the PADI Advanced Course will be a mere walk in the park.
There are many more beaufiful pictrues on the pictures tab no.50.

Love the seabed worms…very amusing. Truly looks like a fun place to dive indeed. You won’t spend my Boxing Days doing that !

I refuse to believe these pictures are real….. (You’ve already had me with the tatoo sleeve – I WILL NOT be fooled again!)
