Clients steered in the appropriate direction by the office, 2 wanting to dive and 1 wanting to snorkel. This meant my first "sortie" was snorkeling which is required by the Divemaster programme, therefore another box ticked off which is good. Thought it slightly odd that someone (Mattheu (Polish)) who was not a confident swimmer wanted to go snorkeling but he got well rewarded with a good shallow reef and lots of interesting fish. On arrival at the dive site, greeted by a pod of around 10 dolphins playing around the boat, they passed through before we got in the water.
Second "sortie" off the boat was diving, same area as before but different spot, started in a small bay, went down the slope to say 18m (OWD present) and then caught the current which took us around the corner, somewhat strangely the current in the next bay was going the other way, and then approaching the next reef up the slope was into a head current going downwards, none particularly strong by local standards but a little bit of a heads up on what to look out for.
Lots of very elaborate floats for Nyepi are to be seen around the area, procession expected tomorrow night.
