Bali, October 2008
Photo Album
Life can get rough for the webmaster, who recently had to go to Singapore. From there, the Indonesian island of Bali is a short plane ride. I went diving with the Bali Diving Academy for 4 days (14 dives) on a "safari" set up by Marcia Fisk Ong of Gekko Divers in Phuket. Here are some photos. We gotta go there someday.
