Padang, Sumatra, Indonesia Part 3

Day 2 in Padang!

The divers get 4 dives today! Must be beautiful that you just want more. 


You will realise if you make it here on this trip/tour it is less stressful. You get out at 9 am or when the last person decides to wake up in your team. Grab the chicken and cuckoo them up! Takes about and hour and a bit out to the second day's destination. Kinda burnt!



The water and vision is extremely clear, I can probably see 20 meters cause that's where the corals were and the next was a 60 meter drop. 


Look closer and you can see the corals below.


This DM should be quite popular in the diving industry in Malaysia. Chris the fireman!


Some friends we met on the trip



If you look closer, you can see a diver below. Trying to prove a point on the visibility here. Find the yellow fins!


Our lunch on the beach.


There are red ants on the beach hence one of our buddies sitting so god damn far away from the rest of us.


Romantic! You can even find spare flip flops on the beach if you don't have booties. Yes please wear booties cause of the corals. Hurts ass!


This is the best photo I can take of the coral down below the boat. The waves were a bit mad at that time.


Break time means time for snorkeling!!! Bob needs to go hide for a bit!


Boat boy gets to snorkel around too!


Our dinner





Yup! Fried egg for Chris cause the boy doesn't eat seafood.


My wholesome dinner kekekekkeke!



The popular Es Durian. Durian flesh paste on shaved iced and other stuff in it. Chocolate sauce topping. Tastes really lethal and the burps following are quite pungent! This is a popular desert in Padang and always packed with people.

On the way back to land, we were greeted by a school of dolphins maybe about 30 jumping up and down and chasing the boat. There were everywhere left right front back. It was just magnificent and everyone jumped up from their sleep. This is the best picture that I captured. I am in love! There are whales in Padang but its a rare sight.
