Trip in Indonesia (May 2013)

This is the video of my 3 weeks trip in Indonesia, May 2013.
This was totally awesome and had really good times, I met so many cool people and discovered scuba diving. Special thanks to Fabien Astre (fr) for being such a great instructor ! The wreck you can see in the video is the USAT Liberty, a military ship that was sunk by japanese submarine during WW2. The wreck can be reached from the shore on the north est coast of Bali. It lays between 8 and 40m deep, about 60m from the beach.
My favourite experience was definitely on Nusa Penida where I met Agus (we had some Arak on the pier, haha good old fashion times) and Soma, who helped me to get around the first time i arrived on the island.

The mantas rays are the main footage on this video, as this was really the best thing (alive) i've seen in my life. I mean it. This was on manta point on Nusa penida, Monica, from the only dive center on this island can take you there for scuba diving or snorkle, but you can do it like i did and arrange a private boat with the locals ;)

Unfortunately the picture quality is really poor with the Gopro Hero 2 without the diving skeleton. The nice pictures with the mantas were taken with my friend's camera (Olympus waterproof).
