The stupidest dive site ever. Going totally batty.

November 5th 2014
Looking out at the dive site from the Tambora I heard the dive guides say they had checked the current and it was medium to strong. Uwe mentioned, well emphasised, that at that time of the day in the afternoon light if we surfaced in the surf the boatmen would have little chance of seeing us. We are diving up on the equator in the Indonesian through flow which flushes a few billion litres of water ... read more

Hiya :) I'm a 50 year old free spirited lady from Australia who just updated her profile because I realised i am no longer 46 and am also not Peter Pan. I like to spend life doing ridiculous things and have no intention of ever stopping. I've taken a year off to explore the planet and reward myself for well, years of work.. Im very much a seat of your pants traveller and totally irresponsible. Most of my travels are spur of the moment run away from home episodes and my teenage sons are cool with this.

Diving drama!
Well, you didn't die despite some high drama in an incredible current, and you got to explore a new site, so right there, I think you're ahead, not to mention the fine, jungly, bat-filled sunset. I should think a certain number of exploratory dives would end up flops like my exploratory hikes to dead ends and impenetrable brush. Besides, the terrible dive made a great story. Glad the rest of the dives were great.
