Everyone Should Visit Bali - Part 4 - Snorkeling

When you think of snorkeling in Bali, you picture clear, blue ocean, brightly colored fish, and a colorful reef. This was not the snorkeling trip we went on, however! At the tourist booth down the street from our hotel, we booked this snorkeling excursion that only cost us $35, which should have been the first red flag...

In the car on the way. The sound system in the car
played some sweet jams by artists such as
"Justine Timberlake" and "Mikael Jackson."

From the car, we were herded into this small
boat to transport us to the snorkeling area

Ahoy!

Ready to face the deep!

When the captain finally stopped the boat, we were in this offshore corral made up of 5 or six other snorkel tour boats anchored over this dirty reef with tons of garbage and ocean debris floating on the surface. Words cannot begin to describe the natural beauty that surrounded us...

We were given slices of white bread to feed to the fish!

A regular Jacques Cousteau

I'm sure he paid way more than $35 dollars to do this! Sucka!

Ahhh! Sea Monsters!

Awwww...

This is a great picture

If someone could consult a physician and find
out what's going on with Andrew's chest,
he'd greatly appreciate it!

Jet-skis were available for rent,
but you had to ride tandem with a Balinese man.

This place was full of tourist traps

They call this the Fly Fish

*Note to Travelers: Snorkeling is an activity that should be done at the beginning of a trip, so when it doesn't work out or you are sent to a crap hole like we were, you can schedule another tour. We made the same mistake in Thailand too...
