Sick Spray Logo Tutorial

What's up all my viewers. This post is about a tutorial that I've made on how to make THIS!!!


It's a really easy to do this logo if you follow my tutorial. to be able to make a logo like this, you will need Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. You will need to download your own background for the image, some free spray brushes and your own text but besides that you just need to follow my instructions.
Here is the YouTube post.

When you do this yourself you could write/do whatever you want. It could also be two words like this one I made.


It can also be whatever colour you want! or even multicoloured like this cover photo.


Any way, I will leave all that up to you to decide.
Hope you enjoy my Video.

The Ocean Sunfish




"The ocean sunfish or Mola-mola is the heaviest known bony fish in the world. It has an average adult weight of 1,000 kg (2,200 lb). The species is native to tropical and temperate waters around the globe. It resembles a fish head with a tail, and its main body is flattened laterally. Sunfish can be as tall as they are long when their dorsal and ventral fins are extended."


That was just a snippet off a Wikipedia Page that I found detailing the Mola-mola.

The Mola-mola is a must see fish for all you divers or snorkelers out there. It is a very majestic and calm fish that is amazingly beautiful up close.
Right now in Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida ,Bali, it is Mola-mola season. here you can witness Sunfish as the come to the shallow reefs to a cleaning station.
Mola-mola season usually starts from July until October but recently in Bali the Rainy Season has been starting early. The seasons are all weird and mixed up. Apparently there were some sightings as early as February.

But for anyone in Bali now you should definitely book to see these amazing fish.

What makes me who I am today


This weeks post I'm supposed to write about how one person has influenced me into who I am today. But honestly I couldn’t route out one person from my life. Everyone around me has made me who I am today: my parents, my friends, even people I meet out surfing or doing the things that I love.

I think the one main thing that made me who I am right now as I type would have to have been moving to Bali. Bali has lead to so many things that I wouldn’t have done in Australia.
Things like riding motorbikes as an every-day thing. In Australia I wouldn’t have even started riding a bike yet because I am under age. I may not have ever ridden one at all.

Though I would have to thank my dad a lot for taking me surfing all the time and pushing me to keep surfing in different spots all around Indonesia. Even though some of the trips were excruciatingly long and boring he kept my chin up to the horizon, pumped for another surf of a lifetime.

Being in Bali I have made friends with the workers at a company called Deus Ex Machina. Deus is a great shop in Canggu that I love to hang out at. I got my first motorbike built up at Deus that my dad got me as a Christmas present. Also my dad got me a Deus surfboard for my birthday two years ago that I still ride sometimes today.

Also all my friends in school have changed my life. When I moved to Bali all my interests changed with the different people I met. I was introduced to a whole variety of kids from all over the world. Some liked the same things I did. Others, completely different things I’d never done before but learned to like.

So as you can see, just one person doesn’t change my life or anyone else’s. One person might have a big influence but it’s really everyone around us that makes us who we are today. And we are changing all the time, being teenagers in puberty, we like one thing for one moment then hate it the next. But being around people that like something tends to make you like it as well.

And me, I am who I want to be, where I want to be, around the people I want to be with and for as long as I can I wouldn't change for the world.

Top 5 dive spots I have experienced

 1. Tulamben Liberty Wreck
This dive site is located on the Coast of North Bali. It is very close to Amed, for those of you that are not familiar with the area. It is a 120m long wreck that lies at a 90˚ angle with its deck facing out to sea.

The wreck was pushed into the water in 1963 when Mount Agung erupted. The lava flow pushed the wreck to depths of 3-29m.

It is an amazing dive site with many varied species of fish, coral and vertebrates.

 2. Gili Islands
The Gili Islands is where I first learned to dive. I have done both my Open Water and Advanced Open Water dive courses there.
All around the three islands there are all different kinds of dive sites. Ranging from flat, little to no current dives to great coral walls where all you have to do is sit and enjoy the show while you get dragged along by the current.
These islands are great for divers with any level of experience.

 3. Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon is in Padang Bai, which is sort of East Bali. It’s a five-minute boat ride from the beach to the dive site that is directly in front of a cliff. There are large patches of coral all around and a few bio reefs. You might even be lucky enough to see a few black tipped reef sharks while you’re there.

Also for those of you that don’t like to dive or get wet, there is a tourist submarine company that take you down to the reefs below for an underwater experience without even getting wet.

 4. Menjangan
I have only ever dived Menjangan once. But when I did I saw some really amazing coral reefs and a large variety of beautifully coloured fish.

It’s around a one-hour boat trip out of Pemutaran, which is in North Bali.

 5. Pemuteran
Pemuteran is in the North of Bali. With bio reefs all around I’m sure that within a couple of years there will be coral all around.

Great for inexperienced divers and those of you that don’t like too much current
            

This whole list is based off my opinion so if you disagree with anything feel free to comment.
