Olahraga Air di Tanjung Benoa Bali

Olahraga Air di Tanjung Benoa Bali


Tanjung Benoa memiliki daya pikat tersendiri bagi turis domestik dan luar negeri. Benoa berada di bagian Selatan Pulau Bali. Di tempat inilah, beragam wisata air ditawarkan, diving course, fun diving, wake boarding, water ski, parasailing, fly fish, jet ski, dolphin tour, speed boat, banana boat, snorkling, coral fishing, trolling fishing, sunset fishing, mangrove tour, dan glass bottom boat. Tempat yang cocok untuk mereka yang suka melakukan kegiatan watersport.

Kegiatan olahraga air seperti ini bergantung pada cuaca dan pasang surut air laut. Kurang lebih pukul 08 pagi hingga 12 siang kegiatan olahraga air bisa dimulai.

Tak tanggung - tanggung, operator penyedia layanan wisata air ini pun terbilang banyak. Mulai dari operator yang hanya mau dibayar dalam bentuk dollar atau operator khusus wisatawan domestik.

Salah satu operator yang banyak diminati oleh wisatawan domestik yakni BMR, kepanjangan dari Benoa Marine Recreation. Benoa Marine Recreation dikelola oleh PT Rekreasi Bahari Benoa terletak di jalan Pratama 99X Benoa - Bali.

Fasilitas BMR : Area parkir yang mampu menampung bis dan puluhan mobil, 54 loker yang disediakan pengelola kepada pengunjung yang ingin menyimpan pakaian ganti, fitting room ( kamar khusus ganti pakaian ), toilet, dan beranda untuk pengunjung yang tidak bermain.

Pengunjung tidak perlu bersusah payah untuk antri di front office. Sales resmi akan mendatangi anda ketika memasuki markas BMR. Ketika kita telah duduk dengan rileks di meja yang disediakan maka sales pun akan menyodorkan daftar harga dan album foto berisi macam - macam watersport.

Kita jangan terburu - buru untuk membayar biaya watersport sesuai daftar harga yang disodorkan si sales. Pengunjung seyogyanya menawar harga tersebut. Berdasarkan pengalaman Cempluk saat singgah di BMR, ketika telah memilih Fly Fish dengan biaya Rp.250.000/orang (biaya resmi perusahaan), setelah terjadi tawar menawar dengan si sales maka harga tersebut bisa turun menjadi Rp.200.000. Begitu seterusnya. Bila Tawar - menawar selesai, maka silahkan melakukan pembayaran di kasir ( front office ).

Lembaran bukti pembayaran itu nanti akan digunakan sebagai tiket bermain watersport. Cempluk hanya menaiki fly fish dan banana boat. Kedua permainan ini perlu nyali ekstra dan kondisi tangan yang prima, karena kedua tangan kita akan memegang tali agar tidak jatuh ke laut.

Otonan with Shadow Puppet Show in Bali


Otonan Ceremony with Shadow Puppet Show in Bali

Bali possess a culture and traditions inherited hereditarily is closely related to beliefs about reincarnation and ancestor. The Sea water evaporates into clouds, saturated clouds fall to be rain. Rain flowing through the river and end back into the sea. Based on the cycle in the journey of course there are parts of them is lost and it does not return to the sea. But of course the parts of them that lost still in the universe. Bali ancestral traditions is making the cycle to flow as well. However, this still depends on what have we done and the destiny.

Otonan is the process of cleansing the soul of a newborn, take a new form, started life in the world stage. With the otonan ceremony expected the soul that just started the new life aged 210 days or 6 months pawukon, to be free from all consequences of possible actions in previous lifetimes. So that the child is fresh from any bad influences, and live a life without the burden of the past of the soul.

However, 6 months later otonan still remain to be done but just as a celebration, and gratitude as a birthday within 6 month period. Otonan ceremony in the age of 210 days, the families usually ask to the person who are considered knew and trusted about the past of the child, and what to include in the ceremony otonan like this. In this otonan ceremony the soul of the child she asked to make the Shadow Puppet Show to be free from the negative influence of her past. Indeed, in the otonan ceremony like this, the Shadow Puppet Show often is implemented for the redemption of the soul of the child.


The Shadow Puppet Show performed by a puppeteer who are called dalang. Dalang already have taksu in staging Shadow Puppet story. The story that performed by dalang is taken from a part of the itihasa story such as Ramayana or Mahabharata. But the story could be asked of the families about a part of story that performed by dalang. Here dalang must be really mastered the whole story of The Shadow Puppet Show, and dalang do it all by simultaneous.


The preparation of the shadow puppet show by dalang is assisted by someone that was called pengayah at behind him, and at least 2 persons who play the music that was called gender, to accompany the show.
