Tulamben - Part 2
3 Feb 2006
This is the day I'm testing the camera and its underwater housing.
1st dive was at 9 am to Batu Kelebit. Instead of shore dive went in the waters via fishermen's outriggers. It was so small we donned our equipment in the water.

A Nudie Branch

2nd dive was at the house reef. It was a blast this time!!! Managed to see an octopus, a Black-tip shark and the cleaner shrimps.
This is a Moorish Idol, not Malaysian. Siap posing lagi

Some corals/fauna pics


3rd dive was a night dive to the Liberty wreck. Went in just before sunset and surfaced about 40 minutes later. Since Tulamben is like a wall (no gentle slope for a beach), we surfaced immediately upon clearance of the wreck. A lot can be seen during the night dive...how fishes sleep etc etc.

Last day for diving. Decided to cut short one dive as need them to be dry for next day's travelling. Oh ya, we had no sun for the last couple of days. Cloudy and sporadic rain.
1st dive was to Kubu, about 4kms from Matahari. This is the best site so far. Understand from Oka that not many divers know about this place.
This is the best pic of the Nudie Branch. Unfortunately pic taken by Stanley's Olympus (another diver)

2nd and last dive was at drop-off again. This time Oka led and showed us the Gargantuan Sea Fan. Damn Huge

Left Tulamben at 9 am for Kuta for some sight-seeing and shopping. Arrived there around 12.30 pm. Had our lunch and did some shopping.
This is Kuta Beach (pic taken from Discovery Shopping Centre)

Which movie did this come from?

A wall carving

A handphone shop

Zetty & Brat, your favourite restaurant

Left Bali on MH0852 at 4.50 pm and reached KLIA 7.50 pm. Tiring...but fun.
