Too much complaints .. after diving around Indonesia and Thailand ... this trip is the WORSE!!! Visibility is one of the worse, comparable with Pulau Tiga - Kota Kinabalu. However, some memory must be kept for future reference:

Getting to Nusa Lembongan
 |
| Fast boat service along Sanur beach |
It was a relieve to get into the air conditioned car and out of the immense heat of Denpasar. I was glad to arrive at Sanur beach within 45 minutes after being picked up at the airport. Fortunately, there was no massive traffic congestion along the popular highway. Waited about 30 minutes to get on to the 5 pm boat. It is a fast boat taking only 25 minutes to reach Nusa Lembongan. However, as the boat got nearer the island, it could not continue because the tide was so low. All the passengers had to transfer to a small "dinghy like" boat to step right onto the island and all the waiting took us another 30 minutes and another 15 minutes for our baggage and the jeepney to send us to our respective hotels.

| This is how we get to the baot |
As we drove through the narrow alleys of this small village, there are quite a number of provision shops, one handphone shop and a few homestays along the way. By the time I checked in, briefed with the manager of the dive centre, had a shower and it was already dark. The roads are wet from the afternoon rain and there are no street lights! I was kicking stones, wet my feet and searching high and low for a shop to buy my necessities. After a few minutes of walking and turning, I found a great store where I got everything I need. The owner speaks good English and surprisingly, many of the locals do.

I am just too lazy to write any review at the moment ... might probably do it much later.
However, I have done my work, editing and uploading the videos...
