It was interesting because I did not know if I was diving with other people or where we were going I was really along for the ride at this point. Either way I just found a seat on the little boat & did some reading & sight seeing for the hour plus boat ride. Eventually I realized where I was going,...Padangbai. I was surprised but I was eventually told we had to pickup the guide & other divers there. The reason I did not know much else is because the two guys driving the boat did not really know English so it was hard to find things out. Sometimes you just have to go along & hope things work out :) It took about 1.5 hours of wait, but eventually the dive guide & 2 more people arrived. In the mean time I was able to do some reading & go online. The Padangbai massage lady also tried to talk me into a massage, which I would have done, but I though it was only going to be a 5-10 minute wait when I got there. The two people who arrived were doing there Advanced Open Water diving course. There names were Ngoc (aka Go) & Snorre (AKA Snow), they had Americanized their Norwegian names for me so that I could pronounce them :) They were both nice as we chatted for a while as the boat got ready & on the way to the dive sites. The pictures & video below are all from Snorre's camera. Putu did not bring the Pro Dive camera so I was not able to have my own fun, but Snorre did a good job so I was happy to have pictures to show for the day. I had really looked forward to these 2 dives but in the end I thought they were the worst 2 dives of the 10. The first one had a huge current & the visibility was not as great on the second dive. They were nice & we saw a lot, but it was tougher because Putu was teaching them on the dives & wanted us to all stay close. It is always easy to stay close to one person in comparison to 3. We saw a lot & I enjoyed talking to my new dive buddies. We had lunch on the boat in between dives. After the dives we headed back the mainland & to Kuta where I would stay my last 2 nights in Bali.
