This week in Lembongan… Crazy manta encounters in Manta Point. The sea has gotten a bit murky on the south side of Nusa Penida where we have a popular cleaning station for the mantas. This made diving a bit surprising when the mantas came out of the muck.
Woah! Only two more days before Andreas, Thano and I finish our PADI Divemaster Training here in Lembeh with Two Fish Divers. Tomorrow we are organizing the final part of our training – the AWARE Project. The purpose is to organize an activity promoting environmental awareness, so we are heading out to clean the reef…

This week in Tech… We have done Tech Intro and Sidemount try out in the pool this week. We have a couple of return customers staying with us at the moment who were keen to get in the pool and try something different.
