Another day at the office

By admin on August 30, 2011 in Diving in Bali

I started the morning off like every other with my alarm clock sounding at 550am. I hit the snooze like usual and soaked up the final few minutes of relaxation before my day officially begins. After hopping on my scooter for a quick rip down the bypass I arrived at Blue Season Bali. The next hour consisted of the usual, checking of the schedule, organizing my kit, getting a quick breakfast in and welcoming the flood of today’s guests. After the frantic businesses of getting everything in order for the number of trips for the day, we pile in the van hoping to get our seats of choice… Personally, I enjoy the third row left window seat as the leg room is ample, usually you can recline a fair distance and let’s face it, window seats are always better than the middle.

Anyways, today our group of DMT’s are off to Tulamben to do some guiding workshops. After our scenic 2 hour drive where most try and soak up a couple more Z’s along the way, we arrive at our destination. Tulamben is the perfect dive site for today’s task among many other things because everyone is familiar with the topography, the current is usually quite calm and it’s an overall enjoyable dive navigating around and through the famous USAT Liberty Wreck. We also have Coral Garden just east of the wreck which is also quite the dive. On this day I performed my first dive briefing (quite well if I do say so myself) and led my first dive with success.
