Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore, November 2022 - Part 7

Another day in Paradise, or at least what we imagine it could be like... Diving and relaxing... Starting out in perfectly calm weather view's to the bottom as going to deeper water, and the lookout on the bow, as well at the Radio Operator on the port side, getting ready to dive. Even a few local fishermen casting their net, wading in the water.

First dive was at Gili Mino, Turtle City, with excelent visibility, very busy on the surface, but the large amount of divers quickly scattered to all corners of the world in the relatively strong current. Gilles had everything under control, we stayed of it the strong current, and saw a lot of great things again today. Actually soo many turtles that it is becoming everyday sighting.

On top again, we had the opportunity to observe the action going on all around with numerous boats,launching divers and snorkelers en mas. One of the boats drew our attention: It had a huge dive tank mounted behind the sunroof, and while we laughed and found it funny, Gilles could inform us that the boat was a divecompany who arranged full day cruises, and they therefore needed a toilet. So the dive tank was actually a toilet.

Last dive of the day was the Secret or Mirko Reef. Not good signs as we got there as we couldn't see the bottom, 15m down, but in we went. Very strong current, so we deciced to "go with flow" instead, and see what we could find. Although not as stunning as the first dive, we none the less spent all our permissible time, and a bit more, as we all went into decompression on the computers. No rush nor panic though, launch the SMB and then heading up from the 17m depth we were at.

So another day of diving came to an end, and we headed back for a little R&R
