Indonesia will highlight scuba diving destinations at the U.S. exhibition this year at the DEMA show. This is awesome news! I love scuba diving, especially in Indonesia. I have been to some great dive sites like the one in Wakatobi, Raja Ampat, and many others such as in Bali. Scuba diving for me is more than just diving under the water. It is the chance of meeting new people, learning new cultures, and heading over to places I would never have dreamed of going. You can see more about my diving here at https://www.douggulleson.com.

Coincidentally, former United States President Barrack Obama has recently visited Indonesia,” said Pitana.
