Bali Day5 - Nusa Penida Dive 1 (Manta Point) - is a cleaning station of Manta. We descended close to the shore. The sea was very choppy. Visibility was low and surge was pretty strong. We swung in a span of as much as 3-5 metres while waiting.
After some 10 minutes, the first Manta appeared. It was my first sight of this big boy. Then, it came to my surprise that a group of them was actually around. I can still recall that my feeling was like in a battle field and the big boys were like F-16 hovering above. They kept us accompanied throughout the 60 minutes dive. We were all very pleased with the experience.
Dive 2 (Crystal Bay drop off ) - this dive was Mola Mola again. The current was quite strong and we had to fight against it. This time, we left empty-handed. Never mind.
Dive 3 (Blue Corner) - we met another Mola Mola. Visibility was low. DM ding ding ding but we have to fin a bit more before we saw the big boy. After the dive, the DM was so proud of himself: "you guys can't see ah, but i know it was there, i know, i know already." hahaha
