Hi, I’m Aurel. I’m a student of Makassar tourism polytechnic in tour and travel bussines study programme. So, i would like to share my experience during my Marine field trip at 5th-6th october, which is 2D1N (2 Days 1 Night)


so, basically a field trip in my study programme is a process to study in outside the class... in each semester we had 2 field trip.. and now i'm on my 3rd semester and my first trip in this semester...


The first day we gathering at makassar tourism polytechnic at 6 am. and then the tour leader read the attendance, lead to the bus and the bus started the tour to the tanjung indah dock, barru regency.
arrived at the dock, we leaded to the small boat (20 person maximum capacities) to dutungan island by acrossing the sea. the distance from the dock until dutungan island approximately about 1 km and it taken about 10 minutes only.


dutungan island is an island located in Barru Regency, and actually Dutungan Island is included on the border between Barru Regency and Pare-Pare Regency.  Dutungan Island is a small island with beautiful white sand. many facilities provided there, such as restaurant, gazebo, rest room, diving and snorkeling stuff and so on.....

before we diving in to the sea, we were explained by the profesional diving instructor.




when we were ready. we stood in a line and each of person wore a life jacket. i got the 3rd position...
and i dive with a professional instructor.

at first i thought i couldn’t manage my breathe, suddenly i got panic and almost gave up. but then the instructor made me feel calm and he told me to controlled my breathe, and slowly we arrived at the bottom.
at the bottom i already handle my breathe well. and enjoyed the view.
at the bottom i saw the coral reefs and also the small fishes. the instructor also took a picture of me..

arround 10 minutes we went up to the surface of the sea....  it was my first time diving and i felt so good and nervous at the same time..
one by one we got the chance to dive with the professional instructor.. some of them try snorkeling in the right side.
i tried snorkeling also... it's kinda different with diving because it was only at the surface so it was fun...
the view also the same...
