Woke up early that morning after taking a night off from the nightlife of Kuta...the bus was there to pick us up at 7am and we had a 2.5 hour drive to Tulamben on the north side of the island of Bali. Slept most of the way and when we arrived we were basically at the base of the largest volcano on the island sitting right on the coast. We got our gear together and did the orientation for our first dive, Meno Wall about 2km from the USS Liberty wreck (2nd dive). Meno Wall was a pretty sweet site...literally a wall that drops off about 20 meters off the shore. Saw plenty of coral life, not as many fish as I anticipated, but still a good dive. Colors were pretty spectacular and it was good to see there wasn't too much damage from all the dynamite fishing that used to take place here 10+ years ago.
After the dive, we stopped for lunch just outside the site for the USS Liberty, a American ship that sank during World War II (I think?!?...its been a while). Anyways, we dove in and what an amazing site...lots of swimthroughs and after an hour we didnt even get to see the whole site...schools of barracuda, travely (jackfish), among others. Probably the coolest dive I've done yet and really wish we had listened to the divemaster and done both of our dives here rather than insisting we dive at the wall...Oh well, no big deal. Made the drive home and took it easy since we had another early morning to catch the boat to the Gili Islands!!!

I'd be kinda scared to dive. I've enjoyed snorkeling, though. I suppose any sailor skeletons would have been picked up by now.
Getting any sex on your adventure?
