Play in the water

Last month i was lucky to experience "the kindness" of my company (before the torture :( ).
We had an annual convention in Bali - so i thought, why didn't i extend it ? Some fellaz from the office are also going to extend their stay. So - for a day - Marketing team (in particular, us - the slaves), were all gone.


Well, to sum it, our stay was all about pigging out (eat -sleep - eat-fart).


In one of those days- we went to Nusa dua, and after all this excitement of diving (been dying to try it), i finally decided to give it a go. Well - before spending millions on it - i think, spending a bit does't hurt. At least i had to try before spending for the serious one.


After all the grueling experience of putting the wet suit, I finally get into the water, and was very excited about it. Unfortunately - it was Bali... so, imagine a mall down there.
I went approx 8km deep, struggling with my regulator which kept on falling away - i gritted, and bite, it was deep down in the water, only God knows what would've happen if i let go of it.


It was fun - well - slightly more fun than just snorkeling.


KEY HINTS : stay calm, breathe slowly. You'll do fine.


And yes, i found a sea snake down there. First dive, first encounter.


The bear didn't join the trip - but a week after Bali - i went swimming with him , and yes, he floated exactly like that.
