Above is the video to my amazing scuba diving experience in Lovina, Bali. This was for my advanced scuba certification. For this we went on 5 different dives on the island. This includes a navigation, shipwrecks, night and deep water dives. It was amazing to go on all these different dives because each dive was unique and made me feel more confident in my diving.
When you are doing a deep dive while scuba diving you are under so much pressure that it is almost impossible to crush an egg. When it does break the eggs will hold their form which is really entertaining to watch the fish try and eat it.
The night dive was a little nerve racking at times. All my dives were done with just me and the instructor and so for the night dive that meant there were less people around. We were not connected to each other so that made it so you had to know where the other person was at all times, otherwise you would lose them in the pitch darkness. The ocean at night makes strange sounds that can really throw you off guard considering you can't see your surroundings. I was even more concerned to realize halfway through my dive we were in an area with a lot of large eels. The only thing I am truly scared of it water snakes so that was quite startling to see one slithering past out of the corner of my
eye. Of course my guide failed to mention that before the dive started. There were also random statutes in the water that at first I thought was a floating body which caused me to scream and lose quite a bit of my air supply. But despite all that, it was an amazing dive that really showed a part of the world that we don't usually get to see other than on David Attenborough documentaries.
