Scuba Diving in Pramuka Island !!

Yepppp another getaway trip on weekend from January 30th-31st 2016, this time it's Pramuka Island!
The island is one of MANY islands in the Seribu (en: Thousand) Archipelago located in the north of Jakarta province. In fact, it's still included as one of 6 regions of Jakarta. Still have no clue where it is? Check out this map below


This time around, the trip was organized by my lovelies from Trisakti Diving Club, the 18th generation of the Club ; Leather Back Turtle. (Im in the 17th generation ; Manta Ray)

**fyi : every generation has their own name (howdy!)

OKAY, continue to the story...

We woke up very early in the morning and get to Kali Adem harbour to get to Pramuka Island. Took us around 3 hours to finally arrive at the island, had lunch and got ready to dive. It was not my first time there, in fact it was my 4th time visiting Pramuka Island (HAHA, yep not only me but the entire club visits the Seribu Archipelago quite often). But it was my first time diving in the 2 spots we dived later. 

Our 1st dive spot was the Tabularasa / Napoleon wreck ship :
- The visibility was only about 2 meters, it was blurry af! 
- The current was ok.
- It was 27 meters deep
- Lots of big fishes and schooling fish welcoming us 

Then we moved to our 2nd dive spot after roughly about an hour doing surface interval.

2nd dive spot was The Dome :
- Visibility was better than the first dive 
- No Current
- It was only about 18 - 20 meters deep
- An abandoned coral site with lots of soft corals, puffer fish, bat fish, lots of anemon and clown fish too!

Overall it was pwetty awesomee eventhough my gopro housing leaked water AGAIN! ;'( 

But I still managed to have great shots of me diving because I was diving close to my instructor who brought camera along. YEP! Everytime I dive, Im always in the front, so if the instructor sees something, I will quickly see it too, ehey. 
* No video for this trip, my gopro sucked. 
BUT HERES SOME AHMAZING PICTURES, ENJOY AND THANKS FOR READING
