* VIP guests

I remember when I was still working on the one dive operator several years ago. At that time we believed to dive with some important guests. When I'm preparing everything for the guests, I was summoned to manager and ask for something which I consider a bit funny .

• Manager : Indra please give more attention to these guests, because they are VIP guests. I don't want anyone to complain of them due to our service which is not good.

• Me : Ok boss, what should I do for those? smile and was thinking to my self to using a coat and tie while diving later.

Why did I say funny?, because in diving activities, the safety standards in the water is the same for each person. No matter whether she's trash or VIP guest. They must comply with the rules of diving leader, and not the opposite.

It is a dive operators that service businesses and of course must seek profit, therefore the business would give more attention to special guests or deemed to benefit the company. But keep in mind, that the diving activities have rules of absolute and not negotiable especially concerning safety issues. Starting from the preparation before the dive, the dive and after diving. It applies equally to the divers. That's why I was confused, how should handle the VIP guests, because for me the important thing is safety in diving activities more than in a coat and tie while diving. Hehehehehe Peace....

* Eurypegasus Draconis

I found this fish when dove in Tanjung Jepun;PadangBay and surprised cause always be there. Now I would like to suggest my customers especially under water photographer to dive here. Famous by the name Pegasus and including elusive fish under water. It's length to 10 cm and be in depth 1 to 50 m. This fish more active in the evening or at night and usually in pairs. When captured will sometimes freeze in displayed position and appear dead. Periodically shed layer of mucus to prevent build up of growths on body.

* Absolute Scuba Bali

Herewith, I would like to introduce a dive resort that I joint and working there since 2 months ago. I hope this blog could help people who want to do dive trip in Bali.

Padang Bai

Padang Bali is a fishing village with a natural harbour on the East coast of “The Island of the Gods”, facing the islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. The sea between the islands is deep (up to 300 metres) while the coasts are fringed with coral reefs in extremely good health. This combination of conditions makes for a large number of varied dive sites: within a short distance by our own boats from the beachfront dive shop and resort, there are more than 25 dive sites, offering every kind of dive experience. We have deep dives and drifts, walls and reefs, wrecks, caves and muck dives. We also have 5 dive sites within a couple of minutes boat ride from our front door. The village itself retains a quiet, romantic charm that attracts many of Bali’s more knowledgeable residents and visitors.

Bali’s Marine life

The variety of Bali’s marine life is extraordinary, from the awe-inspiring Giant Sunfish (Mola Mola) through a bewildering number of tropical fish species to an incredible richness of Nudibranchs, crustaceans and invertebrates. Amid all today’s stories of environmental gloom and disaster, it is exciting to be able to report that the reefs are in very good condition.
