Surprise Indonesian Government Inspection
Yep. These Pirates are Legal
In an attempt to crack down on the numerous illegal dive operators springing up all over Bali. The Indonesian government organised some surprise inspections.
Basically, for those who don’t read Indonesian this says that of seven dive companies in Pemuteran checked, only one divecentre located in inside Adi Assri Hotel (that would be us 🙂 had the legal paperwork to operate.
That would mean that out of the current eleven divecentres in Pemuteran, more than half are operating illegally.
Makes you think.

She still needs a canopy and some lifevests but other than than she’s ready to cruise at a very comfortable rate of knots, the waters of Pemuteran, North West Bali and perhaps beyond.
