Message from Annabel

Dear AquaMarine Diving – Bali Associate

I’m delighted to report I joined both of AMD-B’s Survey-Diving Trips to NW and NE Bali last month. A great way to remind myself why I set up AquaMarine in 1999. Yes, this is our 18th year.

AMD-B had a great time at ADEX Singapore in April and MIDE in Kuala Lumpur in May. As always, both shows were well attended.

Nusa Penida is the largest of 3 islands lying off Bali’s east coast. July to October, the island receives startlingly clear upwellings of cold water. This brings up to recreational diving depths those weird but wonderful, gentle giants. The Mola-Mola (Ocean sunfish). They come to the surface needing to have parasites removed by the schooling bannerfish.

AquaMarine has an outstanding reputation in terms of MM sightings. Our all-local dive team know the sites around Nusa Penida like the backs of their hands. They dive these waters year-in, year-out, thereby offering our divers a distinct advantage (in more ways than one) over dives led by non-Indonesian guides employed seasonally by other operators. Diving with Mola-Mola is an unforgettable experience and yes, they have already been sighted!

Everyone joining a MM Trip with AquaMarine signs an agreement to adhere to our Mola-Mola Code of Conduct. This is designed to provide a satisfying, safe diving experience that ensures the lowest sustainable impact on Bali’s Ocean sunfish population.

You may also be interested in our ‘Mola-Mola Diving Guidelines’. Please see our 2017 MM Season Special Offers!

See you soon
Annabel

PS: I’d be delighted if you forward this eNewsletter (to a friend/dive club) however please contact me if you’d like something for publication.

2017 PADI Open Water Diver to Divemaster Interns Lynda & Herdi

Our Interns

During the second quarter, April to June, Lynda and Herdi took the PADI Divemaster course! They have passed their exams with flying colours. This included the final exam, 24 water skills, swimming skills test and they have now started assisting their Instructor.

Still remaining as part of their training is to learn skills in mapping dive sites, search and recovery scenarios, deep dive scenarios, and finally after all these skills match AquaMarine Diving – Bali standards they will start to take out their own guests for guiding.

Lynda has enjoyed this past month spending more time with her mentor, Syainal Hamid, in the water. He took her everywhere he went (to the sea when he has guests and to the pool when he has students). He encourages her to practice her skills until she is confident and can perform them perfectly. He gives her support in the best way he can so that she will become the best Divemaster.
