Dear friends,
Welcome back to the News Page… The 2 last months have been very busy with the Safari Bali. We dived a lot which allowed us to do some survey. We discovered a new dive site in Tulamben area that one of our friends named Secret Rock. This dive site offers beautiful cave, nice coral reef, nice critters and time-to-time pelagic are cruising there. To be dived again and again!
Unusual for this time of the year, we spotted our first Mola Mola in a very shallow water. As always an amazing spectacle…
As usual, if you have any comments or question, contact us to info@skubaskool.com

BALI NEWS

Kuningan 3rd May.
Happening once in every 210 days in the Balinese cycle of days, Kuningan is the end of the most important regular religious ceremonies for the 10-day Galungan period. During this period the deified ancestors of the family descend to their former homes. They must be suitably entertained and welcomed, and prayers and offerings must be made for them. Those families who have uncremated deceased ones buried in the village cemetery must make offerings at the graves.
Kuningan takes its name from the fact that special offerings of yellow rice (nasi kuning) are made by colouring ordinary white rice with turmeric (kunyit). It is a time for family groups, prayers, and offerings, as their ancestors return to heaven.
This Galungan period is also a symbolic representation of a battle between good and evil, and the most important function of Kuningan is to celebrate the victory of good over evil so that the balance and harmony of the world can be maintained.
Unlike most public processions of village temple ceremonies and cremations, Kuningan celebrations take place in the privacy of the home, in the shrines of the family temple and house compound.
