work experience

DAY 1 : Just arrived in Pemuteran after a 4 hour drive. I was so tired after  that long drive but I still needed to work. That day I started to help with the turtle hatchery. At Reef Seen in Pemuteran they have 4 pools for turtles of different ages. There is one turtle named Buddy in one pool. He is 8 years old. Then there are 3 more pools for small turtles. These turtles are between 1 to 6 month old. I helped to wash the pools. Afterwards I helped with gardening.
In the afternoon I just helped around with things that needed help,then I had a early night, as I was still tired after the week at super camp.

DAY 2 : I woke up at 6 :30 am and prepared the Reef Seen Boat. This boat can take 14 people. It has a roof deck, which is only prohibited during heavy rain. It also has a marine toilet at the back of the boat. After preparing the boat,  I finely had something to eat. After breakfast I helped with the laundry. That day there where 5 people who wanted to buy and release turtles. So I took the turtle babies out of the pond and joined the hotel guests to release the baby turtles at the beach. Then I helped prepare the suits for the divers before lunch. At 1:30 pm I went diving at close encounters, a diving spot in Pemuteran . Now I could see diving from a different point of view, I could see that you don't just look at the pretty little fish, you must navigate around the area. After the dive I helped to hang up the suits and Bcd's of all the divers.

DAY 3: Same rutine wake up at 6 :30 am prepared the boat for starting at 7:30 am and had something to eat. After breakfast, I went snorkeling and picked up rubbish in the sea. Luckily this time of the year there was not too much garbage around. I went and helped with the turtle hatchery there where at least 10 turtle hatcheries that morning, what was great to watch. Afterwords I helped at the reception to take bookings for the next day. After the guests came back from a boat trip from Mengangan Island at 4 pm, I helped to unload the boat and washed the suits, Bcd's and hang them up.  

DAY 4 : I woke up at 6.30 am and helped again, to prepare the equipment for diving. Then I got on the boat to Mengangan with the guests.  First we dived eal garden then coral reef and I saw so many cool things, like a white tip reef shark, a turtle, a leaf fish, a stone fish, a frog fish and a huge lion fish. Then after being at Mengangan for 3 and a half hours, we left and when back. After arriving at Reef Seen, I helped to get all the stuff of the boat. After that I worked in the kitchen, to help prepare food for the guests.

DAY 5: I woke up and 7.30 am, so I missed the early boat to go out. I started at 8 am to help cleaning out the turtle tanks. Then I went to snorkel for garbage again. Later on I helped with gardening, cleaning rooms and washing regulators. Before we left Pemuteran, I helped to feed the turtles.

All in all, I had lots of fun and learned a lot.
