If you come to Bali, don’t forget to enjoy the water sport in Tanjung Benoa. There are many kinds of water sports that you can take such as, sea walker, parasailing, diving, snorkeling, even banana booth which is very challenging.
In my first visit in Bali, I tried two of them above. Those are sea walker and parasailing. Actually, I didn’t have plan to do that. I was quite afraid to do the challenging sport. But, because my son wanted me to accompany him joining sea walker, so, as a mother, my bravery raised, immediately.
Doing sea walker, I got the experience of feeding fishes. They are beautiful fish. Not only feeding, but I could touch them, too. They were very cute and pretty with their colorful skin.
The name is sea walker. Surely, we have to walk in the deep of ocean. By wearing special clothes and footwear, we can walk on the seabed.
In my experience, I had a very unique and challenging feeling. When I walked on the seabed, I experienced how the fish were naughty to bite me. Was it hurt? No, of course. They are not carnivore. So, I just felt surprised as the ant bite.
Another challenging was happened at the first time I came in to the water. It felt like we were taking off in the plane to the sky. That is, the mouth feels like an ear and the ears are buzzing. For this, the solution is very easy. You must swallow many times. That is all.
I suggest you not trying this sport if you have problem with your breath. Because there will be different pressure while you are breathing in the deep of water.

Menikmati Menjadi Sea Walker Tanjung Benoa Bali
Jika anda berkunjung ke Pulau Bali, jangan lupa melakukan olahraga air yang ada di Tanjung Benoa. Ada banyak macam olahraga air yang tersedia disana seperti sea walker, parasailing, diving, snorckling hingga banana booth yang cukup menantang.
Di kunjungan pertama saya di Bali, saya telah mencoba dua dari beberapa olahraga air disana., yaitu sea walker dan parasailing. Sebenarnya saya tak ada rencana untuk melakukan itu. Tapi karena saya ingin menemani anak saya melakukan sea walker, maka keberanian saya tiba-tiba muncul.
Tentu saja banyak pengalaman unik saat melakukan olahraga seawalker. Salah satunya adalah pengalaman memberi makan ikan secara langsung. Ikan-ikan memang cukup dan cantik dengan kulit/sisiknya yang warna-warni.
Namanya juga sea walker. Tentu saja kita harus berada di kedalam samudera. Dengan memakai baju dan alas kaki khusus, kita dapat berjalan di dasar laut.
Pengalaman menjadi sea walker semakin unik ketika saya merasakan bagaimana ikan-ikan kecil dan cantik itu tiba-tiba menggigit tangan saya. Apakah sakit? Tentu saja tidak. Mereka bukan karnivora. Jadi, saya hanya merasa terkejut saja seperti ketika digigit semut.
Tantangan lain terjadi ketika saya pertama kali masuk ke dalam air. Saya merasa seperti sedang take off di dalam pesawat menuju ke udara. Artinya, mulut terasa kelu dan telinga seperti berdengung. Untuk ini, solusinya sangat mudah. Anda harus berkali-kali menelan ludah. Itu saja.
Saya sarankan Anda tidak mencoba olahraga ini jika Anda memiliki masalah dengan pernafasan Anda. Misalnya sakit asma atau yang lainnya. Karena akan ada tekanan yang berbeda saat Anda bernafas di kedalaman air.
