Recount

Last June 25^th until 29^th, I and my family went to Lombok for a holiday. This is one of my best holiday, because this is the time when I first time diving in the open water. Besides, this was a gift for us, me, my brother, and my sister. We’d planned it for a couple of months, so this is a holiday that really great.

                On the first day, we went to the Lombok by air travel, so we took plane from Husein airport. Then from Husein, we went to Surabaya and Bali for transit. It took an hour and 45 minutes from Husein to Surabaya. After waited for several times, we took the same plane to Bali for another transit, and finally we arrived at Lombok. Lombok is a nice island, the water and environment still clean, the sea is just like a pool at some swimming pool, so clean so we can see through it. After checked in at the hotel, we had a walked in the beach that near the hotel. And found some food outside at the evening.

                Next day, we went to the training place, so me and my brother and sister learned the basic of diving at the sea. We studied about using it before, while using, and after using all of that thing. After practiced at the pool, we went back to hotel to do our homework from the PADI dive center.

                The third day, June 27^th, was the first time me and my brother and sister diving at the open water or sea, the truly is we didn’t dive at Lombok, but in Gili Trawangan, it’s next to Lombok. We did all what instructor said, actually, this one was fun dive, so we didn’t have to do a test, we saw a lot of things under water, I saw a tortoise twice at the first dive, it was really great look at one of it swimming not far from me. After rested for a while on Gili Trawangan island(to reduced the nitrogen level on out lungs), we took the second diving, but this time, we must do some test that we had practiced at the pool yesterday. All of us could do it well, after that we had some fun dive again. We ended the day by eating outside our hotel with our cousin that luckily had a holiday too. We ate Taliwang chicken(Lombok’s traditional food).

                On the next day, we had diving twice too, but this time, we must did theory test too in our hotel. That was the time that I saw two tuna fish swim. And the first time diving that day, we found a really rare fish, it has shape like a leaf, my assistant instructor said, “I’ve dived hundred times not just in Indonesia, but that was the first time I saw it”. And it means that I was really lucky, that was the third time I dived, but I found a fish that really rare, how amazing is that! Finally, we passed the test well, and now, I’m officially member of PADI. At the night, we bought some gift.

                On the last day, June 29^th, my brother’s birthday! But that day, we must went back to Bandung. But it was okay, because I was really happy because of all the experience in Lombok. And because of that experience, I want to dive on water again.
