IASAS & MS Art

With ISKL hosting the IASAS basketball championship, Gabi's teacher, Ms. Baxter thought that perhaps they could mix some art with supporting the Panther Pride.  How fun to see Gabi doing some sketching while the Panthers were in action.

An evening at the MPO

We had a delightful evening at the MPO; not surprisingly, there were quite a few other ISKL teachers there.  Truly amazing the quality of music.  Every time we go, we wonder, why don't we do this more often? 

Gabi's Grade 4 Camp

Here is the video from Gabi's Grade 4 Camp experience.  Fun times!

Sights and Sounds from Diving

After five wonderful days of diving in Bali, it is fun to look back at a few snippets of some of the dives, remembering the beauty from under the sea. 

Final Dive. . .Lepoh Bay

For the final dive of our trip, I went to Lepoh Bay.  It was a delightful dive with sights of an octopus, leaffish, scorpionfish and a few baby sharks under the coral tables.  Truly beautiful.  

Enjoying the Blue Moon

There was a nice break between the morning and afternoon dive, and it was fun to hang around by the pool. 

Did we mention how delicious the food was at the Blue Moon?  What a nice location for our last few days of holiday!

Doug's Morning Dive

The rest of the family had enough diving, but Doug thought that another day of diving might be worth it.  It was some pretty spectacular diving.  This was dive #53.  All the trash that had been around from yesterday was gone.  The fish and coral might have been the best of the week.  An Octopus, Nubibranches.  As soon as we hit the point, there was some amazingly strong current - so we turned around.  Good indication to see all the fish going against the current.

Can you spot an octopus in one of the photos below? 

Rania's First Dive - Japanese Shipwreck

What a stunning location for a first dive.  Wow!  After a bit of difficulty or uncertainty about her ears clearing, Rania was clearly quite comfortable in the water. 

Rania's First Dive (Video)

What an amazing experience, as Rania got to go with the instructor on a Bubbles Course, diving the Japanese Shipwreck.  What a stunning location for her first dive.  Here is the video.
