Trip to Bali

[Afropenguin]

I just came back from a 2 week trip in Bali and saw a bunch of corals while I was at Melasti Beach. I wanted to share some of the corals I saw while just walking along the beach.
The water on that beach is super clear and the area was protected by a bunch of rocks so the water was so calm calm that I was able to take top down pictures of a bunch of corals.

			Anyone know what these blue guys are?
I wish our coral colonies were as strong as these. Just sitting out of the water all day long.

Did you scuba or snorkel at all?

Did you scuba or snorkel at all?

I did some snorkeling out in Blue Lagoon. You take a 10 minute boat ride out to the dive spot and then they give you whatever equipment you need and a waterbottle of bread to make the fish come swim towards you. The guy who drives you out just follows you in the boat and you get 2 hours to swim around. I didnt bring a camera to take pictures under water so no pictures from scuba diving but this is from the boat on the way there.

There were some scuba divers around the area too but my girlfriend is afraid to go down that deep so we stuck to snorkeling =)
