Diving in Tanjung Benoa; Enjoy the Beauty of Underwater
Instead of snorkeling, I prefer diving. We are given complete equipment, ranging from oxygen tank, clothing, etc. Apparently, diving is easier to do if you cannot swim. The travelers are guided by experienced and certified instructors for under water, so no need to worry.
Previously, we were briefed on proper diving technique. The depth for beginners ranging between 3 feet - 6 feet in the water for 45 minutes. While bringing bread to feed the fish, we saw colorful ornamental fish and beautiful underwater scenery which met by beautiful coral reefs. Diving is fun.
Joking with the Monkey at Monkey Forest
Monkey Forest became one of the places of interest in Ubud. Located on Monkey Forest Street, Ubud is the center of the crowd, making it easily accessible. Here monkeys roam freely. Although wild monkeys, mostly very tame and used to interact with humans.
Be careful when carrying bananas, the monkeys were not reluctant to take it off your hands. Sometimes, some monkeys do not hesitate to reach into your pocket, hoping there is food in it.
Sometimes there are nosy monkeys at Monkey Forest. But do not worry the region's many forest guards. They usually wear traditional dresses green. Deftly they used to monitor the activity of monkeys while walking with tourists.
