of the not so deep indo-depths.

the 2 french scuba divers and their guide who shared the same private speed boat with us.

The photographs above were taken at Toya Pakeh of the Penida Island, our first diving spot. We were quite surprised that the speed boat brought us to Nusa Penida instead of Nusa Lembongan. Nusa Penida is actually meant for intermediate snorkelers and more experienced scuba divers due to the strong underwater currents. Underwater marine life at our second dive spot (PED) at Peda was much more diverse and jaw dropping. It was like swimming inside a fish tank. I've even went face to face with a puffer fish! Too bad I ran out of underwater disposable camera.

Phi Phi Island, June 2011

Floating in the middle of nowhere, somewhere I thought I knew. Everywhere I look, I see blue, vast, empty, deep, blue. The only thing which sets me afloat was the fancy, cheaply made life-vest, loosely fitted over my body. I'm sure I was tempted to free myself from that life-saving, floating contraption as I can almost hear the depths beyond, faintly calling for my name - to dive in right into the dark, filled with uncertainty, depths of phi phi, just below me.
