Diving with the Padang Bai submarine

As we moved from the Padang Bai cruise ship jetty to the wall on the other side of the bay, we slowly steamed past the Odyssey submarine on the surface loading guests on-board. I thought to myself, keep an eye out underwater as I might get a chance to view it underwater - that would be cool.

I wasn't disappointed, having the submarine cruise past was pretty cool, you could see the flash of the cameras from the portholes. Although it was a little difficult to actually see the faces of the people inside, it was pretty cool to see this submarine glide past - this really made for a nice dive.

Padang Bai on Bali's west coast is the stepping point for the ferry to the three Gili islands of Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air west of the island of Lombok. For me, Padang Bai is a bit of a run down village with most people here for the ferry, still, it is worth a look for a day or two for some different dives in Bali.
