Borobudur temple is the name of a Buddhist temple located in the village of Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java. Location of the temple is approximately 100 km southwest of Semarang and 40 km northwest of Yogyakarta. This temple was founded by followers of Mahayana Buddhism around the year 800 AD during the reign of the Syaelendra dynasty. According to historian J.G. de Casparis in his dissertation to earn his doctorate in 1950 argued that Borobudur is a place of worship. Based on the Kahulunan and Karangtengah inscriptions. Casparis estimate the founder of the Borobudur is the king of Mataram from Syaelendra dynasty's named Samaratungga, who constructed around 824 AD. The giant new buildings can be completed at the time of her daughter, Queen Pramudawardhani. Then Borobudur temple estimated construction takes half a century.

Temple according to the etymology of the name comes from the Sanskrit language which Boro means temple complex, or a monastery or place of worship and beduhur meaning high. So the intended Borobudur is a place of worship where yag located in areas that high.
Borobudur Structure
Borobudur Temple formed shaped staircase, which consists of six levels of a square, three-level circular and a main stupa as a peak. Also scattered at all levels-the levels several stupas. Borobudur is ten stories clearly illustrate the philosophical school of Mahayana, like a book, Borobudur describes ten levels of Bodhisattva must pass to reach the perfection of the Buddha.
The foot of Borobudur represents Kamadhatu, the world is still dominated by kama, or "low desire". This section is mostly covered by a pile of stone that allegedly made to strengthen the construction of the temple. At the closed part of this additional structure there are 120 panels Kammawibhangga story. Some small additional structure was set aside, so people still can see the relief in this section.
Four floors with walls berelief on it by the experts called Rupadhatu. The floor is rectangular. Rupadhatu is a world that has been able to break free from lust, but is still bound by the appearance and shape. This level represents the nature of that is, between the bottom and the nature of nature. In part this Rupadhatu statues of Buddha found in the recesses of the wall above ballustrade or breezeway.
Starting the fifth to the seventh floor walls has not relief. This level is called Arupadhatu (which means no tangible form or not). Circular floor plan. This level represents the nature of, where people are free from all desires and bond forms and shapes, but have not reached nirvana. Buddha statues are placed inside the stupa is covered with holes as in the cage. From outside the statues that still seems vague.
The highest level that describes the lack of being represented in the form of the largest and highest stupa. Stupa depicted plain without holes. Within the biggest stupa of the Buddha statue was ever found an imperfect or unfinished also called Buddha, wwhich is considered as a statue Adibuddha, but through further research there has never been a statue at the main stupa, which is not finished sculpture was a mistake pemahatnya in ancient times. according to the belief that the statue was wrong in the manufacturing process should not be tampered with. Archaeological excavations carried out in the courtyard of the temple was found a lot of statues like this.
In the past, several statues of Buddha along with 30 stones with reliefs, two statues of lions, some kala-shaped stone, stairs and gates are sent to the King of Thailand, Chulalongkorn, who visited the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) in 1896 as a gift from the Dutch Government.

ANCOL BAY CITY (Taman Impian Jaya Ancol)

2009-12-18T22:11:00.002+07:00

Ancol Bay City atau yang terlebih dahulu dikenal Taman Impian Jaya Ancol adalah merupakan Kawasan Wisata Terbesar, Termegah dan Termewah di Indonesia. Keberadaaannya sangatlah populer, tidak saja bagi kalangan masyarakat ibukota maupun seluruh indonesia. Setiap harinya pengunjung yang datang tidak hanya berasal dari masyarakat Jakarta saja melainkan ada saja dari berbagai pelosok daerah seperti dari Jawa Barat, Jawa Tengah, Lampung dan propinsi yang ada di Indonesia pada umumnya (Wisatawan domestik) , bahkan ada yang datang dari mancanegara (Wisatawan asing).

SEJARAH BERDIRINYA
Sebagai kawasan Wisata, sebetulnya Ancol Bay City (Taman Impian Jaya Ancol) telah ada semenjak Abad 17 pada masa Gubernur Jendral Hindia Belanda, Adrian Valckenier, yang memiliki rumah peristirahatan yang sangat indah di tepi pantai, hingga seiring dengan waktu kawasan tersebut berkembang menjadi kawasan wisata pantai.
Kawasan tersebut sempat terabaikan dan menjadi kotor tak terawat pada masa perang dunia ke II. Setelah lama berlalu muncul usulan agar kawasan tersebut dijadikan kawasan industri, namun usulan tersebut di tolak oleh Presiden RI pertama yakni Ir. Soekarno. Malah bung Karno ingin membangun kawasan ini sebagai Kawasan Wisata. Kemudian bulan Desember 1965 Bung Karno memerintahkan Gubernur DKI Jaya yang saat itu dijabat oleh Ir. Soemarno, sbagai pelaksana pembangunan proyek Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, namun proyek tersebut baru terlaksana dibawah pimpinan Gubernur Ali Sadikin, sedangkan pembangunan Ancol dilaksanakan oleh PD PEmbangunana Jaya dibawah pimpinan Ir. Ciputra.

Tulamben Dive Site - Bali

2009-03-04T13:49:00.002+07:00

The USAT Liberty is directly situated near the beach on Bali's northeast coast - literally a short walk from the front door of Tulamben Wreck Divers. The 120m long wreck rests on a 90 degree angle with the deck facing the open sea and used to be an American supply ship. Anchored off the coast of Lombok, the ship was hit by a Japanese torpedo during World War II. Miraculously nobody got hurt, but the damage turned the ship into a non-functioning and useless hull. The American Navy's plan to tow the ship to Singaraja harbour failed as the harbor was completely occupied, so the ship was intentionally stranded on the rocky beach of Tulamben.

In 1963 Mount Agung (the volcano which towers over Tulamben) erupted and the magma flow pressed the ship back into the sea where it presently rests at a depth of 3 to 29 metres. Since then, coral has coated the wreckage turning it into a new home for an extraordinary number of fish, coral and invertebrates. bump-head parrotfish, napoleon wrasse and barracuda are regularly spotted around the wreck.

The wreck is an absolute underwater wonderland of marine life - schools of trevally, bream, fusilier and anthias mill all over and around the wreck - often following you during the dive. Batfish, large sweet lips, angelfish, butterfly fish and anemone fish (with resident anemones of course) hover under ledges and in crevices. Lionfish, scorpionfish, hawkfish, bumphead parrot fish, pufferfish and coral trout are everywhere - as are the gobies, blennies, shrimps and dottyback out on the sand flats. The wreck is simply alive with life; corals, sponges and gorgonia fans are breathtaking along with the thousands of invertebrate life within them.

Padang Bay Dive Sites - Bali

2009-03-04T13:47:00.003+07:00

Amuk Bay, with the villages of Padangbay to the south and Candidasa to the north, is about 6 kms across and located along the south side of Bali's eastern point. Just north of Padangbay is the Blue Lagoon, a treasure-trove of marine life. 2 islands (Tepekong and Mimpang) outside the bay, and Biaha a little to the north, offer some of the most breath-taking diving in Bali. However, due to conditions, these 3 sites need to be treated with care and respect. The currents coming from the Lombok Strait create unpredictable water movements that can result in a washing machine effect.

The Blue Lagoon is actually a small bay, with a steep white sand beach, located just a tiny bit NE of Padangbai. The steepness of the beach means there are waves, therefore we take a 5 min jukung (outrigger) ride from Padangbai. The topography is not spectacular: white sand bottom, which slopes gradually to 22M, has scattered rocks, soft corals and a huge area of Staghorn Coral. However the fish life is amazing! There is a large Napoleon Wrasse that lives here, several kinds of unusual reef shark, stonefish, moray and blue ribbon eels, nudibranches, rays, squid and octopus, Leaf Scorpionfish in every hue, Stargazers. While The Blue Lagoon is easy diving, sometimes used for Open Water Courses and popular with snorkellers, experienced divers and photographers also thoroughly enjoy the site. Visibility is 15-20M, there is sometimes a little surge and a mild current, but the bay is fairly protected. The site has a good variety of Sweetlips, Angelfish, Surgeonfish.

Nusa Penida Dive Sites - Bali

2009-03-04T13:39:00.003+07:00

Nusa Penida is the largest of 3 islands (the others being Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan). The water here is fairly cold (because of the ocean currents) but often startlingly clear, with gorgeous corals and prolific fish, with some turtle, shark (including grey reefs and silver-tips) and - Aug-Sep - Mola-Mola (the weird and wonderful Sunfish). We offers nine dive sites at Nusa Penida, three of which (Sental, Ped, SD) are along Nusa Penida's north coast. You could, theoretically, go in at Sental, drift along until you came to Ped, exit, change tanks, have a surface interval, re-enter the water exactly where you exited, drift along to SD, exit, out, back in at the same point - however, generally, due to conditions and changing currents, this isn't possible. There is no diving nor coral, due to conditions, along Nusa Penida's south coast.

Menjangan Dive Sites - Bali

2009-03-04T13:34:00.001+07:00

It was in 1978 that Menjangan became Bali's first internationally-known dive location. Consequently, in older dive guidebooks, Menjangan is described as having beautiful reef flats. Unfortunately that is no longer true. Over the years a combination of dynamite fishing and (dive!) boats anchoring into the coral have taken their toll. Then, in 1997 there was a population explosion of the coral-eating Crown of Thorns starfish and, in 1998, coral bleaching as a result of El Nino. However, these reef flats (5-15M) are now showing strong signs of recovery and will, in all likelihood, come back with much greater diversity than they had before. On a more positive note, Menjangan is actually famous for the wall-diving and these walls were unaffected by the above problems. They descend to varying depths, the shallowest being 26m, the deepest 60M+. The walls offer the greatest diversity of gorgonian fans in Bali. They generally start at 10m with the flat coral reefs offering gentle conditions and lots of sunlight. These are full of medium and small fish. The walls are full of small nooks and crannies, overhangs, and bigger cavelettes, crevasses, etc. They are covered with soft corals, gorgonian fans, sponges. There are only rare sightings of large fish (pelagics - ocean-going fish) in Menjangan due to the island being protected from the cold currents coming in from the open sea.

Amed Dive Sites - Bali

2009-03-04T13:29:00.002+07:00

Amed is located on the north-east coast of Bali. By car, about 15 mins south of Tulamben, along the main road, and then 15mins on a local road, so Amed is much prettier than Tulamben. Due to the easy conditions at Amed, it is suitable both for novice and experienced divers. There is very rarely any wave action at the surface, so any surface swims and ascents/descents, are worry-free. Divers have virtually no currents to contend with, so no buoyancy problems for the less-experienced, and the opportunity to get right up close for those who have perfected their buoyancy and enjoy all the smaller animals on offer. The water temperature can be affected by thermoclines, and the visibility is usually 14-22M.

This small coral reef lies in depths ranging from 12-22M. In this area you will find many different kinds of sponges and gorgonians and the marinelife includes everything from gobies and shrimp as well as anemones with attendant clownfish to schools of barracuda and Blue Spotted Ray.
