Another day another ceremony, must be Bali

Om’ Swastiastu

Bali being the Island of the Gods, demands lots of ceremonies that run in a eternal cycle. Just as in life what goes around, comes around and once again we find ourselves with ‘Tumpek Landep’. A day for blessing all things metal and mecahnical. Which of course is just about everything in the Sea Rovers dive centre.

So here is us, the piratical brethren, a motley assortment of Christian, Hindu and Muslim, all dressed in our temple best and ready to bless.

Captain Abdul, doing his friendly hawker impression. “You want diving? Good price. Morning price. Special just for you.” A cry fortunately much absent from the beaches of Pemuteran, Thank the Gods.

So, not only is our equipment regularly serviced and in tip top condition. Its is also thoroughly blessed.

Captain Botak, trying to cop some zzzz…… Scurvy dog! I’ll have him flogged.

The crazy adventures of wacky DM Wayan and Captain Abdul

DM Wayan and Captain Abdul (also trainee guide) having way too much fun when they should be working.

Kairi also has the distinction of being our first ever guest from Estonia. We wish her all the best as she has already signed up for her Open Water Course back home. Brrrr…… And we look forward to taking her diving again soon.
