Our next destination is Lembongan, a little island off Nusa Perida which is east of Bali. Our sole purpose for visiting Lembongan was to dive with Manta Rays, so after departing Gili Trawangan two and half hours later we arrived at Lembongan. Immediately upon arriving, both of us were disoriented as we stepped onto a van and we have not been on a moving vehicle (other than a boat) for 2 months and we saw loads of dogs which again we have not seen for 2 months. ...

Their package includes training up to DM level and conservation work.... the rescue course was brilliant fun especially on their 'L' dive where we had the opportunity to act as if we were narced and doing stupid things underwater...

Now for week four on Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. Sunday evening was spent on the beach lying on the sand, watching the sun set, star gazing and watching the waves with 6 others from the dive centre. It was ultra relaxing and blissful to get away from the buzz of the dive centre. On the Divemaster front, both of us completed our final Divemaster exam, and both of us passed with flying colours! As for the practical side of our course, we both have started teaching...
