BALI FLASH

Leading LightBali’s capital city has come out top of the league—the least corrupt of 10 cities surveyed by Transparency International Indonesia (TII). Denpasar scored 6.71 points on TII’s Corruption Perception Index released following a survey of businesses in the 10 cities between April and October.

Denpasar mayor IB Rai Dharmawijaya Mantra said this week acknowledgement of the city’s low corruption was a stimulus

to officials to work even harder. “To stay the winner is much tougher than to win the competition,” he said.

Last year Denpasar received the highest points (7.48) in a survey of public service integrity by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

The new Corruption Perception Index was compiled from surveys of businesses. Worst performing city in the survey was Lhoksemauwe, in Aceh. (BALI DISCOVERY)

Tommy Suharto’s Bali Resort Adds On a WaterparkThe 400-hectare Pecatu Indah Resort being developed in Bali’s

Badung district welcomed its latest addition on Monday: a waterpark with its own supply of desalinated seawater. The three-hectare attraction, called the New Kuta Green Park, is one of several projects that will eventually make up part of the resort, which is owned by Hutomo “Tommy” Mandala Putra, the youngest son of former president Suharto.

Made Putrawan, president director of Bali Pecatu Graha, the developer in charge of the resort, said on Monday that the desalination plant for the newly opened waterpark would also serve other facilities in the resort area. He said these included the New Kuta Condotel, a 278-room hotel, as well as the New Kuta Golf Course, site of the 2009 Indonesian Open, and the Kelapa nightclub.

“The desalination plant can produce up to 3,000 cubic meters of fresh water every day,” Putrawan said Hamdani Pane, another BPG executive, said the desalination plant, located 300 meters from the water’s edge, worked by filtering the seawater twice.

He said the result was water that was technically clean enough to drink, with all of the solid particles and 99 percent of the salt removed. He added the waste produced from the plant was carted away to a special treatment facility. Badung district head Anak Agung Gde Agung, who officiated at the waterpark’s opening, praised the developers for building the desalination plant, which he said would prove invaluable in the midst of the current groundwater shortage across the district.

He added that the New Kuta Green Park would become a key alternative destination for domestic visitors, who he said were being crowded out of Kuta and other resort areas by rising prices targeted at foreign tourists. “Not everything should be valued in dollars,” Agung said. “It’s time we started building tourism attractions that domestic tourists can afford to visit.” Entry to the waterpark is Rp 35,000 ($3.90) for Indonesians and Rp 100,000 for foreigners.

Other attractions at the Pecatu Indah Resort include four more hotels as well as a clutch of luxury holiday villas. Putrawan said the investors included local outfits as well as those from South Korea and the Middle East. “Tommy wants this resort to replace Kuta as the go-to place in Bali,” he said.(JAKARTA GLOBE)

Alang-alang

T Y P IC A L BA L I

Although the use of alang alang as a traditional roofing system has been applied for hundreds of years in several areas of Indonesia, the neatest and strongest form is found in Bali. The blades of alang alang thatching are constructed from Imperata cylindrica (known as elephant grass) that grows best in harsh conditions and poor ground with some of the strongest examples found at the edge of beaches and cliff tops.

Balinese roofs are commonly, though not always, made with bamboo rafters—the alternative is timber which is more expensive. The rafters for alang alang roofs have additional short rafters, set at a lower pitch, overlapping the bottom end of the main rafter. Both the main rafter and this additional rafter are finished with bamboo.

The alang alang roof is good insulation against heat and is very attractive to look at, both inside and out. It is durable, with reports of it lasting to twenty years, although by this time it would be very thin and unattractive. More commonly it has a life span of seven or eight years. The only negative comment made about alang alang roofs in Bali is the amount of dust from the small insects that have their life cycle in the bamboo rafters and the battens that form the spines of each individual piece of alang alang. There is very little dust, however, from the inner surface of the alang alang as it is not attacked by insects and is hardly decomposing.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Thanks to today’s advancement in technology, people are having the freedom to explore the imaginative world and becoming more adaptable to new, wacko ideas—in fact people love them. Let’s take as an example some of the ideas behind many science fiction movies: war that takes place in between the stars, things that can transform into many different shapes and functions, time machines and even teleporting. Excuse us please, for the latter might not be that technologically advanced or 21st century-ish afterall. Well, at least not here in Bali because this island has a gate that can transport you to a different world, and the gate has been there for centuries!

The gate is located in Puri Agung in Kerta Gosa, Klungkung. The local belief says that when the gate is opened from within the Puri Agung yard, whoever opens it will be facing a wide, endless, dark ocean. The fact that all you can see on the other side of the gate is a residential area causes the gate to be considered sacred; thus, the gate has now turned into a place where the Balinese Hindus lay their offerings and worship their Gods. This gate may look like all the other traditional Balinese wooden gates, the ones with all the detailed engraving. However, testimonials from the neighborhood—some several generations old—make for strong beliefs about the magic this gate can do.

It has been years now since the last time the gate was opened; and the person who opened it was a thief trying to escape after burgling one of the houses in the area. Unsuccessful in his escape, the thief was found in the morning lying on the steps in front of the gate. Residents in the area found him in trance-like condition, saying: “ocean… ocean… dark… dark…” After this last incident, no one has the courage to open the gate. Honestly, we don’t recommend you trying it either.

A VIEW FROM THE CURBSIDE

Bali Villa Guests—You Get All Kinds by Vyt

BORBORIGMUS.WORDPRESS.COM

A fter talking to other expats here in Bali, I realise how lucky I have been with my

villa guest experiences to date. Not so for some other Bali expats though. Hearing some of the horror stories about guests who have ‘crossed the line’ have caused my eyebrows to climb well up into my receding hairline and a shiver of apprehension to course through both my belly and my wallet. Despite being really lucky so far, their stories make me question the wisdom of future sharing.

“Where’s the shampoo? There’s no shampoo!” complains a guest, irritated at having to march out of her quarters while wrapped only in a towel. Her compressed

lips betray her annoyance at the lack of consumables in her bathroom. “Umm … didn’t you bring any?” asks the perplexed host. “Well of course not!” is the terse retort. “This is supposed to be a luxury villa, isn’t it? You’d expect that a place like this would provide some basic bathroom stuff. You should talk to your landlord, you know.” The irascible guest, staying for free, seems to be under the impression that she is in a hotel. The host, a paragon of patience (which far exceeds mine), explains that this is her home, and like all expats, she buys her own bathroom goodies, or brings in the locally unobtainable high-quality potions from overseas.

Instead of apologising, the guest from hell promptly demands to ‘borrow’ the host’s personal shampoo, her conditioner, a different towel and some toothpaste. She then complains about the soap provided which apparently is no good for her ‘sensitive skin’. During her subsequent three day stay, she not only avoids returning the expensive bathroom supplies, she ‘accidentally’ packs them in her bags on her departure. I suggest to my villa-dwelling friend that she lay in a stock of Drain Cleaner in shampoo bottles, conditioner seasoned with sump oil and some soap embedded with glass slivers specifically for obnoxious guests. The expat demurs, feeling that my proposal is a little extreme, but does hint that this guest won’t be invited back.

What is it with some of these people? Are they just ignorant, or stupid, or just incredibly selfish? Remember that these stories are from private homes, not commercial villas. We expats are happy to absorb the cost of being hospitable to friends and acquaintances because it is part of normal social interaction. In my case, I have been fortunate, because my guests have been delightful company as well as good friends. But to the users and losers out there, how about you stay at a hotel—I suspect we will all enjoy the experience much more.

Fishermen of Jimbaran

A lthough Jimbaran has now turned into the home of a number of the finest luxury hotels in the world, its original color as a

fisherman’s village still remains especially with the hectic activities of fishermen along the beach. Unlike many other coastal areas in the island that have totally turned from fishing villages into tourist spots crowded with umbrellas, hawkers and surfboards, Jimbaran exploits its natural potential as a fisherman’s village with the establishment of ranks of seafood restaurants serving the freshest fish and crustaceans.

Thanks to the fishermen in Jimbaran, the place is now known to be the heaven of the finest seafood (both raw and processed) in Bali. In doing their activities, the Balinese fishermen in the area use the same boat, which is a narrow outrigger—home made, easy to launch, easy to fix, cheap to make and very stable. These small boats don’t sail too far from shore and the proximity to resort hotels provides a

handy market. The fresh catch is delivered straight to the fish market (Kedonganan Market), which is also located on the beach, later to be bought not only by residents from Jimbaran and thereabouts (including Denpasar) but also a lot of the island’s finest restaurants.

The beautiful white-sandy beach on the northern edge of Jimbaran is full with the colorful traditional boats, the fishermen and their nets as they moor after fishing in the morning and afternoon. Only one or two fishermen usually go to the sea, while many men will be on standby to help the fishermen drag the boat onto the sand. The women will help place the fish in the washbasin before taking them to the market.

At night, both tourists and residents often flock to Jimbaran to enjoy the fresh seafood on the beachside restaurants.

Mangrove Forest

Imagine the canopy of leaves overhead is shading the boardwalk, absorbing the sunlight and breathing air, providing shade for comfortable walks. Just inside the bark of these trees, water is

being slowly pumped through the trunk to the leaves where sunlight, air, water and some nutrients absorbed from the mud are converted to useful materials for the surrounding ecosystem.

A walk along the wooden boardwalk at the Mangrove Forest on Jl. By Pass Ngurah Rai provides greenery of mangrove trees. Don’t worry, for there are a number of wooden shelters for everyone to rest including a couple of towers from where the visitors could enjoy the view of these vast swamps—little boards are also provided in these shelters to give the information about the various types of mangrove trees and the other species that live in the forest. It’s a perfect place for those who enjoy bird watching, or just to rest for a while after the walk.

Mangrove trees produce enough plant materials to feed the hundreds of types of animals, large and small, which live or just visit the area. Visitors can also watch the various species of birds and mammals, including storks, kingfishers, and monitor lizards. It’s not surprising to see such a variety of marine species here, because

the mangrove forest serves as a nursery ground, feeding ground, and spawning ground for many types of fish, shrimp and crabs. When the tide goes out, dozens of crabs can be seen scurrying along the ground, popping into holes and emerging again.

Strange noises from the swamp sometimes provide an eery setting, making you wonder where or what is the source of the noise. But again, this even makes a more perfect sense to spice up the ‘ jungle adventure’ within the swamps area.

The functions and benefits of the mangrove forests can no longer be ignored, and it is essential that we preserve them. Unfortunately, the areas’ natural beauty is marred by certain people’s littering. The many problems that the forests face, such as trash and land conversion must be mitigated immediately, by raising public awareness.

Surfing Artist: Past, Present and Future of Bali

Made Switra

CONTINUES TO PAGE 28

One of the best athletes of his time, Switra surfed in many places around

the world, including nine Hawaiian seasons. Today Switra is a soul surfer, surfing for himself and only when the waves are good. Coming from a traditional family of fisherman, Switra loves the sea and is always near it, whether through his paintings, fishing or surfing.

How old were you when you started surfing? How old are you now?I started when I was 8 years old. Now I’m 37.

Tell us a bit about your surfing history.I come from a family of fisherman. As a child I used to go to Kuta Beach with my mother to pick up the fresh fish that just arrived. I always loved the ocean and when I was 8 years old I started surfing with a very old board that someone left in the village. It was a very big board, we could stand up on it with two people! After that, when I was about 11 years old I met Ketut Menda and started to hang around Bali Barrel (Menda s Surf Shop). A short while after that I met Made Kasim and Wayan Ganti and they took me to surf other places, like my first time at Padang-Padang when I was 14 or 15 years old.

Do you still surf? How often?When it`s good I go surfing, but not so often nowadays. Today I surf to enjoy myself, no stress.

What are your favorite waves? When was the last time you surfed there?Padang-Padang and Sanur Reef, last time I surfed there was 2 years ago.

THE MAG ISSUE 3328

How was your career as a competitor?I won many contests in Bali, I also got 5th Place in the ISA world amateur championship in Japan, I think it was in 1990. I finished in second place twice at the Quicksilver Grommet comp and 3rd once. I used to compete against guys like Rob Machado and Ross Williams.

What s your advice for the new generation of Indonesian surfers?Be yourself. If you really want to be a surfer be one hundred percent into it and push your limits.

Tell us about this picture, what do you remember from it?This is my brotherhood(looking the pic nostalgically), this is forever for me, I was so into surfing in those days.

Do you still have contact with the guys from the picture?Yes, I feel sorry for Jarut (he is the one with the cap on) passing away. As to the others, sometimes we meet up and when it happens we talk a lot about the old times. We sit together and enjoy ourselves and one day we will be one again.

What do you miss the most about the old times?I miss empty 6-8ft Padang Padang at a medium tide with a SW swell. And 6ft Sanur Reef early in the morning with a big high tide.

What do you think about all the development in Bali?I really don`t mind. Whether it`s busy and noisy or empty and quiet, it’s all the same. I just want to be myself. It`s also a cultural shock but it`s ok, growing and developing are a part of life.

What do you do for a living now days?I have a surf shop TRAS (Jl. Tegal Wangi), a restaurant with an art gallery together Laut Kute (Jl.Kubu Anyar) and a boat for surfing or fishing trips.

Is fishing a profession or hobby?It`s a hobby but I go fishing almost everyday especially this time of the year, it`s Spanish Mackerel season.

When did you start painting?Seriously 5 years ago but I have loved art since I was a child. Before when my wife had a shop in Kuta, I had to go to Ubud very often for work and I don`t know how or why but I always found myself inside the galleries there!

Where did you learn your technique?A painter from East Java lived in my house for 2 years, I learnt from watching him painting.

Do you have kids? Do they surf?I have two daughters 12 and 13 years old who live in Japan and they don`t surf.

Road Trip to Tabanan

Tanah Lot

THE MAG ISSUE 33 31

his time we strolled down the road of Petitenget towards Batu Belig on our motorbikes, aiming for the beaches of Tabanan. The journey to the lower plain was pretty smooth—no, we’re

not talking about the road condition here—and relaxing, provided that we only topped at 60km/hour under the glaring midday sun. The wind was with us then, sweeping and cooling our skins, helping us to enjoy the surrounding views mostly comprised of villas set amongst the rice fields.

Passing Canggu Club, in an area called Banjar Tegal Gundul, the pace of life seemed to slow down. We could only see houses with no people around; of course, with the occasional motorbike and/or car passing by. But then as the road led us to the main stream, which is a bigger lane directing to Kerobokan or otherwise Canggu, all the sudden heat of the sun was striking hard on us. It was probably only autosuggestion due to the many vehicles on the road. Yet, we continued the journey; and this time, we went a little faster at 80km/hour—or so, at least that was what my speedometer said. We don’t recommend speeding, though.

As the sun was rising higher on top of our heads, and a sign board that said “Echo Beach” was put up appearing some twenty meters ahead of us, an image of an bottle of ice-cold beer bottle started to fill my head. then I then pointed to Andri on his motorbike behind me to make a left-turn to the beach. Only within minutes from that main road, there we were, sitting, facing the somewhat raging ocean as its

waves were hitting hard on the concrete wall and landing soft on the front area floor. Certainly, each of us had a bottle of ice-cold beer in our hands. Perfect!

Echo Beach itself is largely popular among the expatriate community in Bali; though you can’t swim here, because of the rips. The small strip of the beach-side restaurants, however, is very pleasant if you feel like having a lazy midday accompanied by cold drinks and nice meals away from the bustling areas. Anyway, it was funny how this restaurant that we sat in put catchy lines on a blackboard: “No shoes… No t-shirt… No problem. No happy hour, only happy endings!” We really couldn’t help but laugh hard, reading and re-reading the lines. We got back again on the road after spending around an hour in Echo Beach. Being back on the main road, we made a quick stop and looked at each other while thinking, “We’re on

Cemegi

THE MAG ISSUE 3332

motorbikes! Why on earth should we take the main road?”. And so we took the immediate left-turn and travelled down the smaller roads behind the rice fields in the area.

Entering any left-turn in this area will lead you to a black-sandy beach, which from stories heard, has a very strong association with spiritual activities (like ceremonies) in Bali. Anyway, through the narrow, bumpy roads behind the rice fields, we visited several black-sandy beaches that are actually interconnected with each other. However, each of these beaches is given a different name in referral to the name of the village where it sits. On almost in all of the beaches that we visited, we could spot the remnants of ceremonies scattered around on the black volcanic sand. We asked the locals why many rituals had taken place, but no one seemed to give us our required answer.

Although, we have to say, the beaches are nothing to shout about, joining the villagers sitting in a warung gazing at the waves was fun. The villages in the area also provided different attractions to enjoy. We visited the black-sandy beaches that belong to the villages of Pererenan, Seseh, Cemegi and Nyanyi. These villages are renowned for retaining the traditional Balinese lifestyle; thus, resulting in breathtaking natural, traditional surroundings. It was harvesting season when we were there; and the villagers were all busy yielding the harvest, at around five in the afternoon, and looked like a wavy, golden ocean. Tents were set up along the sides of the road by the rice fields. We were surprised to see this; it was like a refugee camp, but we soon learned that the tents were only up during the harvesting season. Different areas of the rice fields were in different stages and it is interesting to see the ripening crop next to a section of young shoots.

Of course, there are several villas that are constructed adjacent to the rice fields and designed to harmonize with its natural and cultural environment. Only a small number of these villas were blessed with stunning ocean views and sunsets.

Six o’ clock came around, which meant sunset would be within around an hour. So, we got back to the main road and headed for Tanah Lot—a Hindu temple that seemingly sails the ocean, and probably the most photographed place of interest on the island. Though sunset is really stunning at Tanah Lot, it can be crowded. So, for the early-birds among us, it might be a recommendation to visit this tourist sight in early morning.

Remnants of Bali’s Past

enganan is one of the oldest Balinese traditional villages, a heritage that is rich in cultural diversity and traditional practices. As a Bali Aga village, an original Balinese village

that still practices a way of life that pre-dates modern civilization, Tenganan owns a very unique life pattern within its local community system. This village retains its ancient pre-Hindu customs through a strong code of non-fraternization with outsiders, which means that the villagers should marry with someone from within their own community.

Tenganan is charming with its fascinating authentic traditional festivals such as Mekare-Kare, a ritual which is a duel between two young men armed with two pieces of thorny pandan leaves on the right hand and an armor made of plaited rattan on the left. Not only that, the people of Tenganan are skilled in the unique technique of weaving, known as the ‘double ikat’ cloth, where the belief in the magical power of the fabric is essential in bringing out the beauty of the cloth. Tenganan own huge tracts of fertile and well cultivated lands capable of satisfying the needs of the village.

This village, located near Candidasa, is of a long rectangular shape, which is laid out in tiers, with wide stone steps in between. The houses are constructed out of bricks with no outer layer covering them. Visitors are welcome to step into a number of houses there to watch a villager weave the ikat and/ or making the basket. The best thing is there’s no pressure for every visitor to buy their products.

THE TEN

The Ten Balinese Hindu Ceremonies

Y ou might have heard it before, and now we’re reconfirming it: there’s never a day in Bali without

a ceremony of any kind. Of course, it is not always obvious for visitors to really notice each of these daily ceremonies. However, during certain times like big holidays or full moons, when all the Balinese Hindus across the island are flocking the temples and make their areas so colorful with many traditional decorations such as bamboo poles, the religious festivities become highly apparent.

Another aspect that makes the ceremonies seem somewhat endless is the respect and gratitude for life cycle (birth, puberty and even death) which the Balinese people translate into different forms of ceremonies. Yet, that is not all, for Balinese Hinduism is also influenced by animism traditions, where every living thing has a soul, and ancestor worship. This means, there are also ceremonies addressing specific non-human objects or materials. We’re just going to cut the story short here—below are ten of the many ceremonies in Bali.

NgabenThis is the ceremony for death. This ceremony is carried out to help the deceased’s soul free from worldly ties and carry on to the other world. The philosophy behind Ngaben is to return the five elements making up the microcosm of the human body to their signal residence, the universe. The five elements, known as Panca Maha Bhuta, are the earth (pertivi), water (apah), fire (teja), air (bayu), and ether (akasa). Since the primordial dimension can only be attained through water and fire, the ashes are dispersed in the water of the sea or if the distance is too far, in a river.

GalunganGalungan is the day when the Balinese Hindus celebrate the victory of justice and truth (Dharma) over evil (Adharma). This celebration lasts for ten days, and during that period of time it is believed that all the Balinese Gods will visit the Earth. In order to welcome and appease the Gods, ancestral temples are cleaned, specials prayers and offerings are made, and dances are presented. Also, for ten days, the ancestors are feted in the family temples, many temple festivals occur at this time of year and there is great feasting.

Gedong-gedonganThis ceremony is carried out during pregnancy; in the 8th month according to the Gregorian calendar (7th month according to the Balinese Calendar) to ask blessings for an easy delivery process. Aside from that, this ceremony is aimed to appeal to the baby’s salvation to Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (superior God) and is considered as an important ritual passage. One of the rituals in Gedong-gedongan has the pregnant woman and her husband wade into the river, where eels and small fish are placed face down on her protruding belly to show the baby the right way out.

Menek KelihMenek Kelih means puberty; thus, this ceremony is held when children enter puberty age, which is when a girl gets her period and boy’s voice cracks. They are paraded around the village announcing to all that they are now adults (and in the olden days, ready to marry). This ceremony also acts as a reminder for the teenagers of their next phase in the cycle, to shed the childish attitude and prepare for the challenges of adolescence. At this stage of life, as adolescents, they have to practice what is called with Trikaya Parisudha, which are the grounds for each individual to do nothing but good deeds in order to achieve nirvana. However, not all castes perform this ceremony.

KuninganKuningan marks the end of Galungan, which is on the tenth day. Kuningan earns its name from special offerings of yellow rice. This is a day when families will gather, pray and lay yellow offerings because it is believed as the time when their ancestors return to heaven. However, most Kuningan celebrations take place in the privacy of the home, in the shrines of the family temple and house compound. The day after Kuningan is a time for a holiday, visiting and having fun.

SaraswatiThe Balinese Hindus believe that knowledge plays a very important role in achieving the goal of life as human beings. Thus, they celebrate Saraswati, a special day devoted to the Goddess of Learning, Science and Creative Realm, and is the patron saint of libraries and schools. Ceremonies and prayers are held at the temples in family compounds, villages and businesses from morning to noon. Prayers are also held in school temples. Children bring fruit and traditional cakes to school for offerings at the temple.

Tumpek KandangTumpek Kandang is a celebration dedicated to Sang Hyang Rare Angon, the God of All Cattle and Livestock. On this day Balinese show their appreciation and gratitude to all domesticated animals (such as cows, pigs, chickens, ducks and birds) that help them in everyday life. On this day, ceremonies will be held and domesticated animals in Bali receive great attention: the cows are washed in the river and dressed-up like human beings, with special cone-shaped spirals of coconut leaf placed on their horns; the pigs are decorated, with their bellies wrapped with a white or yellow cloth. They will afterwards be fed the best food.

Tumpek LandepTumpek Landep is the day when the Balinese Hindus hold ceremonies dedicated to Sang Hyang Pasupati, the God of Steel Implements especially the weapon that has been invested with magical power. On this day Balinese show their gratitude to the god of all the steel implements that make Balinese life easier and safer. Traditionally, on this day tools and family heirlooms of weaponry, such as sacred swords or known as keris (double-edged-dagger with wavy blade), are sanctified. But as time passes, great change occurs in celebration of this holy day.

Tumpek PengatagTumpek Pengatag is a special ceremony devoted to the God of All Food. On this day, ceremonies will be held in every plantation and farm throughout the island to bless all plants to give human beings good crops and products. The Balinese Hindus pay great honor to the plants and trees because they provide the breath of Earth, oxygen, fruits, leaves, food and cool breeze.

OdalanOdalan is a temple ceremony that usually lasts for three days—larger ones that occur every 5, 10, 30 or 100 years can last for 11 days or longer. The idea of this ceremony is to respect the deities that rule over the temple by giving them a myriad of offerings and music and dance performances. During the ceremony, the Balinese Hindus will ‘invite’ them to come down from their dwelling on Mount Agung, the most sacred mountain in Bali, to partake in the activities.

HIGHLIGHTS

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti

he Balinese have already owned their belief and culture since thousands of years. The stronghold of their religion and traditions may be the main factor that enables them to

preserve their culture from outside influences. Religion is inseparable from everyday life, from the simple daily rituals to big temple festivals. No opportunity is lost to worship God in an unending series of ceremonies that stretches from birth up to after death. Mantras are also chanted endlessly, screaming out hopes and prayers to the sky. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti would likely be the most heard, for the phrase acts as the opening and closing of all prayers.

Om itself is used to address the highest being, the almighty God Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, to whom all of the hopes are directed to. Although in general the word means peace, Shanti is chanted thrice; it’s not for emphasis, but because disturbances are of three distinct categories. In Sanskrit, these are referred to as adhi-daivikam, adhi-bhautikam and adhyatmikam. Adhi-daivikam literally means “mental disturbances that come from God”—i.e. things that are utterly beyond our control: hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc. So the first Shanti means, “O God, may we be protected from these obstacles that are beyond our control.” Adhi-bhautikam means “disturbances that come from the world.” That means anything stemming from the world around us— noisy neighbors, barking dogs, family arguments. As opposed to the first category, we have some control over this second category of disturbances. So this Shanti means, “O God, may we be protected from the people and surroundings.”

The third type of disturbance is the most powerful and, at the same time, the only one which we have total control of. Adhyatmikam means “disturbances stemming from the self.” The third Shanti is therefore the most important one, because even if we are free from outside disturbances, if the inner realm is not calm we will never know peace. Conversely, once we have found inner peace, no external force can ever disturb us. So chanting this third Shanti is akin to praying, “O God, please remove all the inner obstacles.” In addition to that, “Shanti, Shanti, Shanti” has recently been made Bali’s new branding tag line. The phrase is considered to speak and best represent the island as a highly spiritual place. Also, the richness of Bali’s belief system and cultural diversities are all icely symbolized within the triangle logo that goes together with the phrase “Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.”

Stay Healthy

Great, you have finally arrived in Bali! Got all your plans sorted out? You probably know that there are many things you could do here on your holiday. If you are here for the culture, look no further. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, it’s probably not far from where you are now. So, go and enjoy yourselves, but remember to stay healthy. Here is some information to keep in mind and a few tips on how to keep your health during your holiday:

Dengue FeverDengue fever is a kind of virus that is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito (the black tiger mosquito). During the raining season you have to be extra careful because that is the time these mosquitoes breed. The symptoms of dengue are high fever, severe headache, backache, joint pains, nausea and vomiting, eye pain and rash.

How to avoid:1. Avoid any mosquitoes.2. Put insect (mosquito) repellent lotion on your skin.3. Put mosquito coil or spray your room before leaving so when you ‘re back, it’s mosquito-free!4. Wear long sleeves and long pants, especially between 10am–2 pm and 4 pm–6 pm. ( This is when these guys are extra active).

Sounds all a bit scary but don’t worry too much. Dengue infections are rare, especially in tourist areas and your hotel probably smokes out their garden every few days to kill these mosquitoes.

Bali Belly or DiarrheaRunning to the toilet every time can be a bit embarrassing and annoying. And next to that, the stomach cramps can be quite painful. Most diarrhea cases begin abruptly but will resolve in a few days without treatment. Make sure, when you’re suffering from diarrhea, that you drink enough liquids (i.e. water and juices, beers and liquors don’t count guys!) to avoid dehydration. If the symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps or fever continue for more than 3 days, seek some treatment.

How to avoid:Drink purified water only. Avoid eating or drinking beverages from street vendors or other establishments where unhygienic conditions are present. Avoid eating raw or under cooked meat and seafood. Avoid eating raw fruits and vegetables unless peeling before eating. But don’t let this information stop you trying new types of food during your holiday, but just remember to be careful.

Severe Sunburn or Heat StrokeIt’s great when you go back to your home country and show off your exquisite brown tan. But be careful not to burn too much of that skin of yours or let your body literally get overheated. Now you might have already heard all the warnings about skin cancer and that you should protect your skin with sunscreen. Well, here we are, warning you again; buy sunscreen, wear a hat, limit the tanning session and try to stay out of the sun at least from 11 am till 3 pm.

A heat stroke is caused by dehydration or a overheated body. Avoiding a heat stroke is based on the same principles of avoiding a sunburn, plus, keep your body hydrated (again alcohol, tea or coffee don’t count) and be careful with vigorous physical activities in the sun. Symptoms of a heat stroke are: high body temperature, the absence of sweating (with hot red or flushed dry skin), rapid pulse, difficulty breathing, strange behavior, hallucinations, confusion, agitation, disorientation, seizure or even a coma.

How to treat a heat stroke victim:In severe cases, get medical assistance immediately. The important thing to achieve is to cool the victim. Get him or her in a shady place, remove the clothes and apply cool or tepid water to the skin. Get some ice

packs and place them under the armpits and groins. Fan the victim to promote efforts until the temperature drops to 101/ 102 ⁰F (38.5 ⁰C)

Traffic SafetyWe are not proud of the traffic conditions in Bali. Most local drivers are use to it, but for first timers in Bali, it can be a total different experience from back home. For them we recommend to take a taxi instead of renting a motorbike. More expensive? Yes. Safer? Absolutely.

Hotel SafetyWhether you are staying in a five-star hotel or a youth hostel, do take care of slippery floors, the pool, stairs, etc. There are many cases of broken bones, severe bruises, cuts, and some need serious treatment for it, such as an operation. Most of these cases happen to the senior tourist, where their bones aren’t as strong as they used to be. So take things easy and don’t rush. Better safe than sorry!

Water SafetyBe careful when you swim, some beaches have strong currents, sea urchins and sharp corals. Diving and surfing is fun, but it can also be dangerous. Many accidents happen from lack of concentration and underestimating the danger of the sea. Major injuries or even death can happen during these activities. So always be extra cautious when you are having fun surfing, diving or just plain swimming. Make sure to swim with a good swimmer, never swim alone, and only swim in safety zones (between the red/ yellow flags, a one-colored red flag means danger, do not swim there). As for swimming in general (including swimming at your hotel’s pool) make sure you warm up, to avoid any cramps during your swim.

he Junction, which recently was refurbished and has reopened in a chic new look, sure stands out in

the busy Jalan Oberoi, also known as “Eat Street”. The ceilings and outside walls are made of reclaimed wood, as is the modern, minimalistic furniture. The Japanese designer Nara of “9 Design” has created a funky building style, which provides an airy, bright and modern décor.

The restaurant seats 50 people, soon to be more when the upstairs area opens. At the back, the bar and comfortable lounge beckon the thirsty visitor who can enjoy one of many delicious cocktails in this cozy ambience.The walls have inbuilt bookcases which contain not books, but large glass jars with a collection of “everything Bali”. Spices and other food ingredients, sand, ornaments and even writing chalk can be seen in this eclectic collection which makes for a very decorative ambience. It took the staff three months to collect all the items for this display. On the back wall you find the same kind of bookcases, but here filled with stylish soft dolls so visiting children have something to occupy themselves with during the meal.

Both menus, lunch and dinner, offer a great cross-section of international cuisine.

Lunch guests can enjoy items such as the popular “Shoarma” Baguette Sandwich, the delicious Prawn Ravioli or the Thai Beef Salad with Mango. We were lucky enough to get to test this signature dish. The salad was beautifully presented and caressed our palates with its subtle blend of red chili flavours and calming sweet mango. The beef was thinly sliced and sautéed to perfection. It is easy to understand why this dish is so popular. It combines the lightness of a salad with the full beef flavour and exquisite seasoning.

From the dinner menu, we tried the Tuna Tataki, a seared, pepper coated tuna served with grilled vegetables and an organic red paprika sauce, available on the dinner menu. The tuna was seared just right, raw on the inside and pleasantly charred on the outside. The grilled squash and bell peppers complemented it perfectly and the sauce tied everything together.

All vegetables and salads used at The Junction are organic and local and brought in farm fresh every day. The beef is imported from Australia and the head chef was imported from France. No wonder the cuisine is global! The few select Indonesian dishes on offer have been “Westernized” to suit foreign palates—but you can always ask for “spicy” if you like it hot.

The service is attentive and friendly, from the moment you enter till you have enjoyed your meal and are ready to be on your way.

In short, The Junction offers a great blend of chic modern style and great international food at very reasonable prices. Opening hours from 11:00 to late every day.

Bali Barrels WWW.INDOSURFLIFE.COM

F or many of us, when we are younger our dream is to become a Pro surfer. To travel around the world chasing perfect waves, meeting different

people, partying with friends, and the best part of it is to get paid for that.Yes, those are the good sides of being a professional surfer, but many people forget that there is a darker side.

Mustofa was still a kid when he signed his first contract. As a teenager he was already going on trips with world champions to surf heavy 6-8ft waves. At XX he was internationally known for getting deep barrels in pumping 8ft Padang-Padang waves. Recipient of awards for charging big waves, collecting various titles and magazine covers Mustofa is a cover-boy of Indonesian surfing.

Now-a-days Bali is the place to be for all surfers. It has the worlds’ largest numbers of surf shops in one city, more than Huntington Beach in California (USA), or Hossegor. France or anywhere else for that matter.

The question is why is the surf industry dropping their riders? Why they are dropping Top Surfers?

Situations similar to Mustofa’s have cropped up time and again throughout the history of professional surfing, including South America a few years ago. But the industry there decided to take a different approach.

Surf companies invested more in events, turning national contests into WQS 5 and 6 star competitions that would provide more prestige for the brand and for the local surfers who would surf a heat with internationally established names. Mainstream mass media wanted part of the action as they realized people want to watch the best surfers and enjoy their life style.

As a result, people living 1000 km away from the ocean were buying surf apparel; they wanted to be just like the surfers they saw on TV.The result is obvious; More people buying, more budget for marketing, more investment, more results.

Indonesian surfers have great potential to be world’s best surfers but they need support. They need help to become accustomed to surf mediocre waves and travel outside of Indonesia. And if they do well, they deserve a bigger bonus from their sponsors. They need support to understand that the importance for the future of Indonesia’s surfing is to have surfers going to other countries and bringing back good results. This will not happen overnight, it requires long-term industry commitment, which will in-turn reap the long-term rewards.

We all hope Mustofa will sign a contract soon because Indonesian surfing will not be the same without these name pushing the envelope of the sport.

Bali Surfspots

Bali Tide Chart

MedewiMedewi is a fun wave for all surfers. It can be a bit fat, but has its day. Come early to avoid onshore winds. This spot handles bigger swells also.

BalianBalian is a swell magnet and a quiet spot in North Bali. This break is getting more crowded as more accommodation is built daily. Its playful lefts and rights are great for beginners and advanced surfers alike.

Canggu & PerenanCanggu always gets more swell than Kuta beach. It consists of a few different breaks; The right breaks better on a mid to high tide and is a great performance wave. The sandbank is better on a lower tide and is in front of the restaurants, it's fun to watch the surfers hit the lip whilst enjoying the delicious food.

Kuta ReefKuta Reef is an exposed reef break that is quite consistent. There are a few breaks here: Airports rights and left, Middles and Kuta reef. May–October (dry season) is the best time of the year for waves here.

Nusa DuaTo get to this reef you have to drive into the hotel area itself and weave your way south. There is no channel which caught inside on a big swell quite annoying. There are a couple of other good waves in this area so it pays to do a bit of exploring.

DreamlandDreamland was famous because it was a 'dreamy' spot. The wave is still there, a nice peak and a fun beach break.

BinginBingin is a consistent, mechanical barrel machine. It's a short wave with a very small take off spot so if hassling is not your thing, it will be quite hard to get waves here. ImpossiblesImpossibles gets fun on a big swell. It is located between Bingin and Padang Padang.If you are sick of dealing with the crowds at either of those two places you can paddle to Impossibles and get some long walls.

Padang PadangPadang Padang only starts to work when a big swell is running. It offers an amazing barrel but breaks in front of trocks, so experts only!

UluwatuThere are 4 different sections: Temples is a hollow wave which works on the mid to high tide. The Peak can offer a nice barrel and is right in line with the cave. Racetracks is the low tide section, it's superfast and gets seriously shallow. Outside Corner is an world class wave which won't even start breaking unless the swell is at least in the 8 foot range.

PadangbaiPadangbai has the flat bottomed mixed reef and sandy bottom with some wally waves. This break needs a bit of swell.

Green BallGreen Ball is a left and a right, situated at the bottom of a steep cliff. No worries going down but after you have been surfing for a couple of hours the return trip is quiet challenging.

BelanganBelangan is known for its longs peeling walls. It does get sectiony, so you have to race a bit. Belangan handles big swells and can offer good barrels on the right direction.

Sri LankaIn the northern part of Nusa Dua lays Sri Lanka, a bowly right which breaks into a deep water channel. This break is better on a bigger swell but is shifty.

Sanur ReefSanur Reef is a right and considered another world class wave. It's the local break of many expats and locals so gets very busy. The wave

breaks better on a mid to high tide and is usually better in the early morning or in the rainy season (November–April).

Padang GalakPadang Galak is a reliable rivermouth beach break north of Sanur. The break is quite popular, but only works under certain conditions.

KeramasKeramas has a nice barrel after take-off which turns into a wally lip. This break is very popular with visiting and local pro's and if you don't want to deal with them in the water it is nice to watch them surf from the warung right in front of the break.

Nyang NyangNyang Nyang beach is a ‘secret’ spot, which is less crowded due to its uneasy access. This beach is like a secret paradise for every surfer.

Kuta BeachThe warm water and sandy bottom make Kuta beach one of the best places in the world to learn to surf. Also for advanced surfers this beach is very popular.

Bali is a beautiful island to visit and like many other tourist destinations, being such a popular spot brings

many problems. One concerning problem that we at The Mag have come to notice is the ever growing

environmental problems that effect this paradise island. We at The Mag hope that all travelers will take (little) time

to read these points and take them to action, in order to lessen the damage. So please, keep Bali beautiful.

1. Please do not litterIt’s a habit that we should all try to keep, and that is just “don’t lit-ter”. If no trashcan is in sight, just keep it in your bag or pocket until you come across one, and then dispose of it correctly.2. See some rubbish, pick it up!Add that little extra in keeping Bali clean by picking scraps of trash ignorant people have discarded carelessly and find the appropriate place to dispose of it.3. Reuse or refuse plastic bagsSometimes shops will still put your goods into plastic bags. It’s fine to refuse the plastic bags, if you are carrying your own. You may get a strange look from the cashier, if so; just explain your good inten-tion to “keep Bali beautiful”.4. Walk more!To keep the air of Bali cleaner, it’s always better to walk. Other than being a healthy alternative, you may accidentally stumble onto a small store or unseen bars which you may have missed.5. Eco-travelingWhat better way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature in Bali than to take an eco-tourism tour. Many companies provide trips into the untouched wilderness of Bali, or the unspoiled coral reefs.

6. Lights out!Leaving your AC on is a huge waste of valuable electrical energy. It’s better to turn off your AC and lights before heading out.7. It’s better to go out for dinnerIt is sometimes tempting to take away food to enjoy in the com-fort of the place you are staying, but the packaging of the food adds up to the pile of trash that is thrown away.8. Support local industriesSending imported goods uses up much of the worlds fossil fuel resources, compared to using products already available in Bali. By supporting local industries we can also improve the economy for the community in Bali.9. Water preservationThe amount of clean water in Bali is slowly becoming scarcer due to overuse. Small things we can do to help over come the water crisis are by taking shorter showers and turning off the taps when brushing teeth.

SUDOKU

Bahasa Indonesia is the language spoken through the whole Indonesia. The Balinese

speaks Bali language with each other, yet you will be fine with these words and short phrases.

CRASH COURSE BAHASA INDONESIA 1. No matter how much the vendors give as

the opening price, you have to bargain for as much as half (or even less) of the price.2. It is better for you to go to the shop that has everything: t-shirts, shorts, wood handicrafts, etc. By doing a one- stop-shopping, which means you will buy quite a lot, it is easier for you to get a bigger discount.3. Try not to be so apparent that you really want the thing you are looking at on the shop; the vendors are not stupid and can ‘smell’ your desire, thus will take the advantage by putting the price high.

4. Since there are ranges of shops offering pretty much the same things, you can always walk away from one shop to another if a deal cannot be reached. But walk slowly. Normally, if you offer a reasonable price on a bargain, in which the vendor can still make some profits and the price is good for you, the vendor would call you back to his/ her shop as you walk away.5. Tell the vendor that if he/ she gives you a good price, then you will tell your other friends to shop from him/ her as well.6. Know the market prices, or, pretend that you do. By saying “I’ve seen this product before way cheaper” will probably lead to lower price.7. Have fun and stay friendly. Bargaining is part of the culture here and it should be a fun activity.

Kuta/ Tuban/ Legian

KutaKuta is dedicated to those seeking fun and sun in affordable ways. The area consists of busy laneways lined with bars and restaurants, basic accommodations and various stalls selling multitudes of items. Although often considered the ‘absolute ugliest’ area of the island due to its mix-bag tourism projects in combination with rampant commercialism, Kuta still manages to retain a slice of Balinese charm. The smell of incense wafts down the crowded gangs and offerings of brightly colored flower petals are laid out each morning to appease the gods.

LegianThe current Legian is packed with venues that turn this used-to-be sleepy hollow area into a spot that knows no rest with almost non-stop activities and crowds. More and more amusement centers like nightclubs, restaurants and shops are now making Legian a vibrant area that never sleeps.

TubanBeing a part of Kuta, Tuban doesn’t really share the loud noises and crowds of Kuta’s main party scenes. Villas and fine restaurants in this area are not really seen from the main road as they mostly take place beachside.

Seminyak/ Petitenget/ Canggu

SeminyakOwing to its high density of upscale shopping, combined with the clustering of many fine-dining establishments, Seminyak has rapidly become one of the most well-known tourist areas in Bali. In addition to a few commercial strips with popular and lively restaurants, bars and good crafts, furniture, and antique shops, there are a few notable establishments that have earned numerous titles as the best venue or party spot in Bali in various magazines. Land and accommodation prices are amongst the highest in Bali and plenty of luxury spas and hotels abound.

Petitenget & CangguPetitenget is where the chic ambiance of Seminyak continues. Although recently there have not been as many happening scenes as in Seminyak, emergence of a number of new stylish venues in Petitenget should indicate that this area would serve as the extension of Bali’s southern fashionable playground. Canggu, on the other hand, is where the ricefields are still widely spread and clearly seen, even due to its close proximity with Seminyak and Petitenget. A number of luxurious villas can be found within Canggu area – most of them are blessed with the tranquil view of the ricefields.

SanurOne of the most pleasant aspects of Sanur is its large expanse of beachfront. A footpath that covers about five kilometers allows visitors to casually stroll and explore, stopping when they feel like it for a drink or snack at one of the many beach side restaurants. A large reef shelters Sanur’s white-sand beach, resulting in low-key surf that is ideal for beginner surfers and families with small children. However, swimming is only possible at high tide as low tide exposes the reef. Well-stocked bars and decently priced food and drinks have turned this area into a popular nighttime destination as well.

JimbaranAlthough Jimbaran now houses some of the finest luxury hotels in the world, its original color as a fishing village still remains. Unlike many other coastal areas in Bali that have wholly converted from fishing villages into tourist spots crowded with umbrellas, hawkers and surfboards, Jimbaran exploits its natural potential as a fishing village with the establishment of row upon row of seafood restaurants serving that day’s catch of fresh fish and crustaceans. Jimbaran is now known to be a haven of the finest seafood (both raw and processed) in Bali.

Nusa DuaSome of the most luxurious hotels in the world find their home in Nusa Dua. Yet, unknown to even some of its loyal visitors, Nusa Dua actually offers more than just ranks of five-star hotels and up-market restaurants and shops. For instance, the thousands who stay in the luxurious hotels within the Nusa Dua complex and Tanjung Benoa are largely unaware of a beautiful white-sand beach located just five minutes away on the southern edge of the peninsula, named Geger beach. Immediately north of Nusa Dua enclave is the peninsula of Tanjung Benoa that includes less exclusive hotels and Benoa village. As a mixed culture area, visitors can see a mosque and Chinese and Hindu temples in close proximity.

As the home of Bali’s legendary artists, Ubud is all about culture, inspiration, meditation, nature and comfort. The area’s scenic rice fields, villages, art and craft communities, palaces and rivers are probably some of the top reasons that bring people to Bali. For more than a century, Ubud has been the island’s preeminent centre for fine arts, dance and music. Accommodations range from the cheap ones sited in the town’s center to the jet set retreats that sit high up on the edge of green valleys.

There are plenty of interesting things on the main streets, but most of the magic of Ubud is hidden away on the backstreets, backwaters and courtyards.

Nusa LembonganNusa Lembongan is one of Bali’s three small offshore islands (the other two are Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan) with tourist infrastructure; thus making it a popular destination for visitors to Bali. Lembongan is a destination to experience the abundance of marine life, coral beds, drop off walls and exhilarating drift dive. Lembongan’s white-sand beaches and clear water are just perfect for visiting sun

worshippers. Unlike most beaches in Bali, there are no hawkers in Nusa Lembongan, with the sole exception of the boat guys who wander along the beach in the morning and ask you if you would like to join the snorkeling or fishing trips.

Getting to or from Nusa Lembongan is easy due to the numerous options. From Sanur, visitors are provided with several fast boat services as well as the traditional jukung boats (wooden boats). Alternatively, travelers can depart from Benoa Harbour, any of the Gili islands, or even charter their own helicopter.

The Gilis

Lombok’s three sister islands of Gili Terawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air are currently amongst the top alternative destinations for tourists visiting Bali. The three are tiny coral-fringed islands blessed with white sandy beaches and crystal-clear water swarming with an array of coral fish. Known as budget stopovers in the old days, the Gilis with their rapidly increasing popularity now have diversified accommodations ranging from luxury villas to rustic yet chic bungalows for rent. Oceanfront restaurants and bars are also scattered around. Water activities, of course, are some of the highlights on the must-do list during a stay in these islands.

Each Gili has its own character and charm; Terawangan is known as the party scene, Meno is very mellow (perfect for honeymooners) and Air’s ambiance falls somewhere between the two. The three islands, very fortunately, are pleasantly free from air pollution due to the absence of motorized land vehicles. Transportation means vary from the traditional cidomo (horse-drawn carts), horses and bicycles.

However, it’s important for you to note that the Gilis are homes to Muslim locals. Although bikinis are tolerable, it is advised for you to avoid any excessive skin displays — including public affection displays. You also need to tolerate the loud call for early Morning Prayer at around four or five in the morning. Restaurants and bars will run as normal during the fasting month of Ramadan.

The Gili islands are easily accessible direct from Bali with the current fast boat services available. Ferry services from Padangbai to Lombok run 24 hours a day. Morning flights from Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport to Lombok’s Selaparang Airport are also available daily.

1. Be a good role modelSet a good example and show people that your interactions with the environments can make a difference.

2. Do not throw anything in the toiletNon-organic wastes thrown into the toilet can cause grey water to flow into the land and sea. This will increase pollution and kill the fragile underwater eco-system.

3. Refill your water bottleContribute to the waste management and help recycle plastic by reusing your water bottle. It will also save your money and is an easy way to be green.

4. Save waterTurn the water off when you are not using it. The Gilis are small islands with very limited supply of fresh water; so please be conservative.

5. Switch off the AC, fan and lights when you leave your roomElectricity comes from petrol generators on the Gili islands. Do not waste the energy as the island can barely cope already.

6. Throw rubbish in the bins providedEncourage a responsible behavior by walking a few extra steps to collect the rubbish and put it in a bin.

10 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BEING A RESPONSIBLE TOURIST7. Do not collect seashells from the sea or beachSeashells are living animals and taking them out of their natural habitat will kill them. Hermit crabs will also look for new and bigger seashells as they grow up; thus collecting seashells will leave hermit crabs homeless.

8. Do not touch or walk on the reefCorals are very fragile organisms and it takes tens of years for them to grow. Please respect their space and observe from a distance.

9. Report environmental disturbance and destructionTouching aquatic life, walking on reefs, boat anchoring and discarding plastic are not eco-appreciative behaviors. Please respect and look after the environment.

THE GILIS REVIEW

he Gili islands are considered to be one of Indonesia’s top areas for scuba diving—and rightly so. The three little islands and their surroundings offer a multitude of reefs and walls,

ridges, slopes and canyons, suitable for all levels from beginner to technical diver. The best thing? The dive sites are within a short boat ride from the islands, enabling divers to choose freely whether to do one, two or more dives in a day. This also makes it possible to do a beginner’s course in just three days.

Most famous are reef sites such as Shark Point (need we say more?) off the west coast of Gili Trawangan; and Hans Reef, a superb macro site to the north of Gili Air. But the islands also offer deep walls (such as Takat Tunang and DonYeng), astounding coral canyons at Deep Turbo, Secret Reef and Takat Malang; and even a Japanese WWII patrol boat lying at 45 metres.

The marine life is incredibly varied, with great opportunities to see creatures such as turtles, the peaceful whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, the dinosaur-like bumphead parrotfish, cuttle fish, banded sea snakes, pygmy sea horses, trevally, barracuda, jacks, tuna, stingrays, frog fish and even the occasional manta ray.

Whereas many of the shallower reefs are dominated by rocks and hard coral, some dive sites offer beautiful barrel sponges, enormous coral fans and pliant anemones swaying in the water. Have a close look at the anemones—many of them are hosts to interesting aquatic life, be it clown fish (Nemo), shrimp or porcelain crabs. www.foued.biz

THE GILIS REVIEW

As the Gilis are located next to the narrow and deep Lombok Strait which connects Lombok and Bali, currents are commonplace at most dive sites, hence all dives are conducted as drift dives. Divers just drift gently with the current, and the boat picks them up where they surface with their divemaster.

If you are looking looking to dive in the Gili islands, you will be spoilt for choice, particularly in the biggest of the three islands, Gili Trawangan, where you can choose between no less than 12 dive operators. Manta Dive, located near the harbour on the east side, is the biggest and most popular and offer both PADI and SSI diver certifications. Manta Dive also has a dive centre in Gili Air.

The Gili islands with their white coral beaches, swaying palm trees and absence of motorized traffic offer the perfect tropical paradise for divers and non-divers alike, and the inhabitants are keen to keep them that way. Hence, in Gili Trawangan, each diver contributes to the Gili Eco Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the oceanic and on-land ecology and encourage more environmentally friendly practices. In this way, the dive community contributes to the preservation of our oceanic treasures.
