In 1982 I worked as an English speaking tour guide, yet during my free time I found out Italian language by my very own method autodidact using English– Italian; Italian– English dictionary and also grammar publication. I invested about 2 hrs a day to discover it, sometime early in morning, in the mid-day as well as at some time late during the night. I succeeded to keep in my mind 2 words a day but I discovered much trouble in discovering the grammar since it is very various with my mommy language Balinese as well as Indonesian, however I firmly insisted to meet with success. Day by day, week by week and month by month, as well as … lastly I got it.
In October 1982 one of my friend that run a travel representative in Bali asked me to handle his clients, they were Italian as well as speak a little English. That was my very first time to practice my Italian tongue. When I met them at Bali International Airport, the initial question I have to address was “where is the best location to dive”. With honesty really I didn’t understand the solution, but I guaranteed them for fortunately the day after.
I visited my friend’s home and also satisfy Bli Monyoh, a fisherman reside in Sanur the village on the southeast shore of Bali. I recognized he was an excellent fisherman as well as extremely clever in shooting fish, diving with his own ability utilizing very basic dive devices.
We discussed diving areas as well as he informed me that in order to find most enjoyable dive, have to go to 2 o 3 various areas of the interesting undersea world amongst the coral reefs. Mr. Bli Monyoh considered his Balinese calendar to see a good day to visit the sea. My clients were crazy about dive.
The first day he brought us to Semawang at Sanur by his outrigger sail boat. Found before Sanur Visitor Coastline. Dives at a few meters depth was awarded by stunning undersea panoramas, table as well as trophy shaped coral reefs and also sponges, a thousand of vivid fishes swim by in rainbow wealths. I am not a swimmer or a diver, I simply remain on the watercraft as well as prepared the requirements when they rise. Was a wonderful day.
The 2nd day Bli Monyoh brought his buddy a smart diver called Agung Toya, along with them some weapon (exactly an arrow) unwound by a solid rubber band made from tire. Before living Sanur, Bli Monyoh laid an offering and also perfumed incense before a temple as well as prayed to God. Along the road regarding one and also a fifty percent our drive, he stopped numerous times for hoping where there are holy places for God’s blessing, security as well as good luck. Also prior to touching the water he did so.
When we reached Buitan was a really conventional fishing town, located at the district of Manggis Karangasem eastern Bali near Candidasa, I was surprised by the elegance of the nature, a stunning view or the balconies ricefield, rural ambience and the Majestic Mount Agung at the far back, for Bali it is the location of the Supreme God “The Navel of the Globe”. The sea was splendid, clear blue water, stayed unblemished by modern-day influences, seduce every person specifically coastline as well as dive fans. Currently Buitan boast a high-end 5 stars resort as well as some small holiday accommodations in Balinese design bungalow.
When we were preparing whatever for dive a polite local man came close to us as well as provided his very own wooden boat utilized absolutely free in the hope of us catching a lot of fish. We cruised at 09.00 a.m in tranquil sea. Concerning 50 m from the beach we showed up on the reef where the wave breaks itself. Under great weather we might see a remarkable underwater globe amongst the reef.
My Italian clients brought their very own dive devices due to the fact that they were the owner of PADI permit. While the indigenous scuba divers used their own ability. Wow, wow, wow, what a fantastic day, we fished a lot (just picked fish), one thing stunned me that Bli Monyoh obtained 4 king lobsters. At 11.00 a.m. we finished our adventure as well as the regional guy was waiting us on the coastline ready with his woods fire, chili, onions, garlic, salt as well as coconut oil. We grilled our fish in loosen up ambience on the coastline with nice breeze of the ocean, than enjoyed a scrumptious gala lunch in cowboy design. Wow incredible, we truly commemorated and also appreciated a great day.
