The next day was all about diving again. Some of the guys went for a dawn dive at 0700 but I was too lazy to wake up that early. Got up later in the morning, had breakfast and geared up for my first dive of the day at 1000.
The dive site is called The Pinnacles. They are 3 dive sites in The Pinnacles, but we were only going to dive in 2 of them; Pinnacle 1 and Pinnacle 2. It’s about 30 minutes boat ride away since it’s on the other side of the island. Since it’s a long journey to The Pinnacles, we’re going to make 2 dives before heading back for lunch.
Pinnacle 1 was the first. It’s famous for it’s big waves and current. Once the boat stopped, it was already rocking so hard from side to side that everyone has to immediately gear up and jump into the water to avoid feeling seasick. So, one by one we went.
Because of the strong current, we were suppose to hold onto the buoy line on the boat and swim towards the other buoy line to descend, otherwise we might miss the dive site and got drifted away. But the descend buoy line was still some distance away and the waves were big!
Slowly swam to the descend buoy line, dipped my head into the water and I could see the bottom clearly which was about 20m deep.
It was the best dive of the trip despite the strong waves.
Pinnacle 2 was much easier. No strong waves and it was a relax dive.

Bali’s Manta Point is a must go. I love to see macro sea creatures and there’s where I saw Manta Rays. There were like 7-8 rays circling you. I must say, the sight is breath-taking. Koh Lanta, Similan are other places you should go. Not forgetting Sipadan of coz. Haven’t had the chance to be there yet.
