Diver's Notes

my first solo dive trip. going to nusa Lembongan without any of my buddies.
encounter a huuge manta called Big Mama in this spot. this spot supposedly called Manta Point but I can't find it on the map. saw the huge manta from surface, but only saw her for a moment on my dive. can't even have a chance to take a picture of her.

my guide point us to a sleeping wobbegong under a coral. cute thing!

not much to see, as I struggle to control my buoyancy, again.
