I just cannot get enough diving in Bali. I was up in Tulamben Amed area a little over a week ago for 4 days of great dives and then a friend got a really cheap airfare to Bali to hang out, so we went up together and went diving on the Tulamben wreck and the drop off, two of my favorite Bali dive sites for two days. With our Bali cheap hotel rates of $6 a night for the two of us ,and the cheap food, plus a deal on the rental dive equipment, the mini vacation dive trip for 2 nights 3 days all inclusive was just a hair over $100 USD, so for $17.50 a day per person we got to do some of the best scuba diving in Asia, which has to be the cheapest diving in Asia that I have done since my dive holiday in Malaysia in the Perhentian islands last year, certainly much cheaper than the diving in Thailand in Koh Phi Phi.

The first day we snorkeled and promised ourselves that we would get up with the sunrise so that we could see the bump head parrot fish, which I had no idea are as large as they are. Well as these things go we ended up not getting in the water till almost 8am, but good enough to beat all the divers coming up from the Bali luxury hotels in Sanur Kuta and Nusa Doa. We had a great dive with excellent conditions, water temperature was around 28° good visablity but no Bump heads, but we had the Great barracuda just off the wreck in 15 meters of water. I swam really close to this monster fish and got a nice video on my Sony Cybershot with underwater housing. On the drop off which we did late in the afternoon we surprised a Bumphead in 30 meters and then when we went a little deeper we had a White Tip Shark, which I have a nice little video of that I will put up on you tube when I get a chance so you can enjoy as well.

On the 3rd day we did get up and into the water before 7am and the Bumphead parrot fish were just leaving right when we were dropping in so I got a nice parade video that I will also put on You Tube when I get a chance. We then went to the Drop off after a 1 hour surface interval nothing real spectacular but I did get a nice picture of an eel getting cleaned as well as some other good underwater photos of butterfly fishes including a latticed and a hump head and some banner fish.
