Getting here on Lion air had delays and we didn't get in till late, then had to get up at 6:30 to be picked up at 7:15.
The first day was diving the Liberty wreck at Tulamben, a 2.5 hour drive. It made for a long day, but we got some nice scenery along the way. Rice fields and monkeys.
The dive was a beach dive. The dive masters had us walk out in the water then they brought our gear out and put it on us in the water, making a very cumbersome dive quite easy. Visibility was poor and the temperature was cold at 78 degrees.
The wreck is called the Liberty wreck and it is apparently quite famous. Here is Jim's video
I never have cared much for wrecks and this was no different so I skipped the second dive. I was fascinated to see the women carrying scuba tanks on theirs heads! They just rolled up a towel, put it on top of their head and put the tank on top. They also carried another tank on their shoulder.
Day 2 was diving from the boat out on the island nusa penida. The first dive was manta point and we did see 4 manta, but the remarkable thing was the number of boats and divers. Wow.
The manta were beautiful and majestic but even without them it was a beautiful dive.
