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.

Dive porters in Tulamben carrying tanks and equipment on their heads. Note the one on the far left. Can you balance an AL80 on your head?
Kadek, Balinese for "awesome dive guide with sharp eyes."
