project :: r!ch fArmers :: tulamben

1 of my favourite wreck lies in the waters of tulamben waters…

the USS – liberty ship wreck.

it’s such a big one i don’t think i have really seen every part of it!! i have probably haven’t really dive in many of the other wrecks around in the world. but this one good enough for me…it’s beautiful. the house to many critters and species – big & small. beautiful..beautiful…beautiful….

and the “life-changing” moment that day was when i finally see…

the PIGMY SEAHORSE!!…

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY..

mona’s fantastic banana chocolate pancake for breakfast…
(sling…we hope you are looking at this… ;) )

the water look so sparkling beautiful in the sun…

mona’s new buddy mark taking advanced open water with her. mark is from uk and he’s such a gentlemanly british man!! he was holidaying with his wife and 2 children who went horse riding that day he hits the water.

the great barracuda!! hanging out at the tulamben dropoff…

the biggest biggest moray eel i see in this trip…with a little cleaner friend on it.. :)

loving it at 28m..

schooling snappers!! like a whirlpool!!..

lunchtime!!

the balinese children are really innovative…they have nothing but yet everything. the creativity and the skills to make what they want to play…or what might seemed to be a toy to them.

dive site : USS liberty ship wreck

watch out!!! you wouldn’t want to mess with his fellow…mr titan trigger fish – very territorial and he sure has some good teeth…but freddy still win with her rust-free blades…

happy family of flabelinas

the resident yellow leaf scorpion fish

oystser!!!

diving through the huge ship wreck

think it’s nemo?…neh…this is the tomato clown fish..something like that. yeah…a lookalike to the regular anamone clown fish. this parent has a kid too… :P

starfishy…

dive site : coral garden

the interesting thing about this place is that there’s a framework of a plane being sank in. and now a small ecology system is going on. fishes come and life in it…there are little thing moving around on the frame which has been covered with plants..ferns..everything everything..

everybody!!..say “hi” to mark!!…

a clam…quite a big one!! mark spotted this…and pointed out to me. i was floating around just above it… :P

the box fish…they are usually very camera shy… :P

the blue ribbon eel..1 of my favourite cute little things to see…blue ribbon sounds nice already… ;) present?..

sorry to keep everyone waiting!! we were to go back to sanur already…about 2 hours drive from tulamben. along the way, through the mountains…there are many beautiful padi fields to see. almost like going to cameron highlands of malaysia.


mr ox welcomes me when i came back “home” to sindhu mertha in sanur. the staff there are like our friends…i always see mr ox being nicely tucked away while we are out. it’s quite funny…to walk into the room and see him there all nice and comfy. it’s funny how i eventually wonder “what is mr ox doing now?” like i wonder how he’s being tucked on my bed everytime i open the door.

tired from 3 dives…lazy from the ride back home…we decided to order in some junkfood. :P cool eh..they have delivery service and they are FAST.

just how FAST? mona and i went out to talk to the boys at the reception to help us order some chicken. and we went back to our room…unpack all our dirty clothes..let out our towels and swimsuits to dry…watch some funny trailers and commercials on tv…and the chicken came. like wow…..

we order 10 pieces of chicken (now there’s SOME chicken) and they are still hot and nice when they arrived. woohooooooooooooo!! and no no no!! we shared with the hotel staff… :) we “dived” only into 5 of them…
