UNDERWATER BEAUTY AND FLAG HOISTING CEREMONY IN TANJUNG PUTUS ISLAND, LAMPUNG, INDONESIA

Remember when I told you that I would be back with more stories about Lampung, my homeland?

Here we go!

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Indonesia, my beloved homeland, I joined my diving club in Lampung to conduct flag-hoisting ceremony underwater and enjoy its ravishing beauty.

Twenty members of Corona Diving Club (yes, the name is CORONA J) Lampung chapter has decided to do it at Tanjung Putus Island, Lampung. This place is an amazing snorkling and diving spot so many of us were super excited.

It took us around 1.5 hours boat ride from Puri Gading beach, where we started the journey. You can definitely embark from different ports like Ketapang, Mutun and Sari RInggung beaches. We headed to Green Bay Tanjung Putus, where you can stay overnight as well as it has cottages and big meeting room for gatherings. Not to mention clear turquoise water and amazing underwater world right in front of the cottage for you who love snorkeling and diving. You can also spend the night and just simply enjoy the white sandy beach in this island.

So, we arrived at Tanjung Putus at 11 AM. We started with the ceremony at the dock before going underwater. At 12, 20 of us went down around 7 meters deep and did jockey seat underwater to pay respect and give salute to Merah Putih, Indonesia’s flag.

It was very solemn indeed. After about 20 minutes being underwater and taking pictures as well as video, we went diving around before taking our lunch break and enjoy the beauty of Tanjung Putus island.

Near the dock, we have various corals with clown fish or nemo swimming around for free.This place becomes people’s favourite because of that as well.

All in all, it was really an unforgettable experience for me!

Another great diving trip I had!

Bangga jadi warga negara INDONESIA.

Dengan keindahan alamnya, keunikan budayanya, keramahan penduduknya, kelezatan makanannya, dan semangaaatnya untuk terus maju!

MERDEKA!

How do you celebrate your independence day?
