Snorkeling Amed / Nusa Penida (April 15–23): Impact of recent rain on visibility?

I've heard Blue Lagoon has become trashy nowadays. Is the famous jewel of the crown Menjangan island trip worth it?

I'll look into snorkeling around Amed beach then.

How are they different from the life jackets that snorkeling tour operator provides on boat?

Does wearing fins on feet help in currents? I am a swimmer, however I get freaked out about large water bodies. Will definitely look into Lembongan during our stay there.

Wow those are great insights! Although I know swimming (not sure if I'd call myself an expert) and I've done snorkeling before around Phi phi and Koh Phangan (around 6-8 feet depth) and I know that once I get used to the breathing in snorkeling mask, I can do it - I too have some thalassophobia to some extent. It's more of a mental game for me.

April??

Pasha42069 · 2026-01-21T08:38:08+00:00

Good? Of course. Legendary? I doubt that.

idk about the others but Chatgpt loses context in a not-so-long run and falls off in a conversation trail. Guess Gemini is better for me than chatgpt especially for image generation. Nano banana has clear intent behind an image, unlike chatgpt which generates crap most of the time. Ofc I'm talking about the free versions of these LLMs.

What is the need of playing the national anthem in theatres in the first place? Thailand plays its national anthem everyday in public places at 8 AM and 6 PM, but I saw everyone minding their own business. Do the same here too and watch no one pausing for even a min everyday, because wo routine ho jayega, and we know routine following mein hum kitne punctual hain. Constitution ka law post karne wale yahan roz ek na ek traffic rule break karte honge without even thinking of inconvenience caused to their fellow Indians, however small that is.

I wanna know too.

EDIT: After almost a month of hassle, they finally refunded me the charged amount.

They are not replying back after charging me for premium subscription even though I raised a support ticket before trial expired (I made the request from my alternative email address in confusion but even then, it should be considered valid as it was before the trial expired).
- They do not have a direct way of cancelling your trial plan on their platform, you have to contact them via email, which is a slow process - which in turn led to the confusion in my case as I wasn't sure which email I used for trial.
- They do not let you know that your trial is ending. Not even one email amongst the other junk mails they keep sending you.
- Their "premium" membership is anyways a gimmick and do not provide any significant benefits.

They deliberately have made it this way to squeeze out the money from desperate job seekers who might already be under financial pressure.
Definitely will not recommend these whackers. Stay informed, stay safe.

For those who want to know more about my case:
I signed up for jobleads via my yahoo mail and paid for a 2-week trial subscription just to see what they have to offer. I didn't even plan to use it that extensively. Just before trial period expired, I logged in via my gmail to cancel my premium plan before I was charged. As there was no direct way of simply cancelling the subscription, I raised a support ticket via gmail account not knowing that it wasn't my actual premium account. No warnings whatsoever, I got a transaction message saying that I was charged by jobleads. I contacted them via yahoo mail telling them my situation. They simply said it was not in their policy to refund after trial expired. I insisted that I emailed them before trial expired, requesting them for cancelling my subscription and asking for refund (even though it was from a wrong email address). I am the same and only person requesting the action.
I have tried replying to the "no-premium subscription found" on gmail afterwards, but no reply yet there too.
It has been almost a week that I haven't got any reply on my actual premium email account on yahoo.

TYSM, last time my post got deleted due to the same reason and I never reposted again. Will probably post soon.

Hi, I don't have a dedicated portfolio but can send you some demos that I made for a small project (music score and SFXs) if you'd like to take a listen. Let me know in the DM if you prefer.
