Greetings!  

Welcome to the year of the Dragon.  I hope you are having a fantastic Lunar New Year.

It is Australia Day today, so we will be having fun with typical Australian favourites like a lamb roast and pavlova for dessert.  Yes, there is some debate between Australia and NZ as to who owns the latter, but that is for another newsletter.

But the most important thing to consider other than Singapore's past time of "food discussions" is - are you ready to go diving on Singapore's Birthday?

Have you ever seen a Mola Mola (Sunfish)?  No? Then here is your chance! 

This trip is over the National Day long weekend.  8th August to 12th August, you will need to take Friday the 10th as leave. Thursday 9th is a Public Holiday.

Perhaps the only aspect of Indonesia more colourful and diverse than her culture is the underwater splendour that surrounds her shores around Bali. Whether an experienced diver, a new comer to the Ocean Realm, or completely uninitiated, Bali offers world class diving experiences for you. Few diving destinations offer such a unique blend of semi remote boutique accommodation, surroundings of natural beauty, unique culture and spectacular underwater diversity.

Topping the wish list of many divers are large pelagic creatures including Sharks and Whales. Charismatic Marine Megafauna (CMM), such as Manta Rays and Mola mola are widely distributed throughout the world's oceans. Bali offers some of the most reliable opportunities to experience the thrill of diving with CMM. An intimate understanding of local conditions and environmental cues is critical to maximize chances of quality interactions.

Along with the large animals that are seasonally abundant, Bali is home to a wide array of smaller creatures.  Nusa LembonganNusa PenidaPemuteran and Menjangan offer a wide assortment of rich coral reef habitats ready to be explored. 

If you would like to join us please go to our booking system to make your booking. 
 
I look forward to diving with you soon.
