Report Field Trip Dutungan Island And Paputo Beach


The first day

Friday 5 September 06.00 am everyone had gathered in front of the orange building in preparation for departure to dutungan island. Equipment to depart has been prepared starting from refreshment, absence, distribution of ID cards and songage tags as well as seat rotation. Before leaving, we do not forget to pray first so that the journey runs smoothly without any obstacles. At 07.00 am everyone got on the bus and left for dutungan island. Traveling, one by one explaining like a tourguide in accordance with the material they get. Incidentally I got material about language and art in Pangkep district. Throughout the trip everything went smoothly with a variety of entertainment from each tour guide who explained. Add to this the refreshment distributed from the tour leader that contains traditional food.

To arrive at Dutungan island, we have to use a boat with a maximum passenger of 20 people in about 10 minutes



Arriving at Dutungan island around 10:30 am then everyone rushed to change clothes for diving and snorkeling. But before that, we are given directions on how to dive and snorkel that is good and right, how to use tools and how to handle if there are problems when diving and snorkeling. 



It so happened that at that time Friday was for Muslims especially the men who had to perform Friday prayers. So diving and snorkeling activities are carried out when the prayer and lunch are finished.
After prayer and lunch, diving and snorkeling activities are carried out alternately. There is diving, there is also a snorkel that is up to what they want. Everyone was very excited because it was our first time diving. I am very curious about how it feels to dive trying to be brave and go down to see the beauty of the sea accompanied by a professional instructor because diving is the second sport that is very risky. At first I was very panicked when I went down because I had difficulty controlling my breath using my mouth. Luckily the instructor was able to calm me down so that I wouldn't panic and be able to regulate my breath well. Finally I can dive and see the beauty of the underwater with various kinds of coral reefs and various types of fish that we rarely see on the surface of the sea. After a few minutes under the sea I tried to return to the surface and continue the next activity that is snorkeling.



Snorkeling is quite easy than diving because we are only at sea level by using a special mask and then floating on the surface using a float. The other friends after diving, they continued to snorkel together while playing and taking pictures to make memories. From 01.00 pm to 04.00 pm at sea and playing feels very pleasant. In Dutungan Island there are facilities such as a gazebo, rest room, toilet, mosque, diving & snorkeling equipment. After diving and snorkeling, everyone changes their clothes and prepares for observation. In addition to observation, we also play games together until evening and rush back to the hotel.




At 05.00 pm go back to the dock and take a boat and then go to the hotel in Parepare. About half an hour drive to Delare Hotel Parepare. Arrived at the hotel around 05:30 pm checked in and there was distributed roomlist. We gathered again at 08.30 pm using Batik dresscode and headed to one of the closest restaurants to the hotel for dinner at Ayam Penyet Ria on foot together because the distance is very close to the hotel. After dinner, we return to the hotel and prepare for a presentation on how to handle marine tour tourists. There are several groups that will present and bring entartainment from each group. Around 10:00 the presentation was finished, time to go back to their respective rooms and rest.


THE SECOND DAY
Morning call is held at 04.30 am. At 06.00 am we do morning exercise by jogging from the front of the hotel to the Parepare field where there is a statue of true love Bj Habibie & Ainun. Bj Habibie & Ainun's true love statue is an icon of Parepare district because that is where Bj Habibie was born. 







After taking pictures, we return to the hotel for breakfast. At 07.00 am take a shower and prepare to check out then head to Paputo Beach. About half a minute from the hotel to get to Paputo beach. There, we observe whether Paputo Beach is suitable as a tourist attraction or not. I think Paputo Beach is worth making a tourist spot because the place is adequate and there are many facilities that we can use there. Like, gazebo, jelly bean seat, snorkeling, toilet, swing, restroom, there are many food sellers, live music, and we can hold events there.
At Paputo beach we enjoy food and drinks while sitting on a jelly bean seat. There are also friends who dance and play around the beach. There we enjoy free time while taking pictures. 




After that, we head to Terang Empang for lunch. Teras Empang is one of the famous restaurants in Parepare because it has a good view especially at night. Dhuhr prayer is performed there before leaving for Makassar. After everything was finished, we rushed to the bus and traveled back to Makassar all the way, all resting while listening to music.





At 04.30 pm we arrived at the Makassar Tourism Polytechnic campus. That indicates the marine tour was over for 2d1n. Many experiences and stories that we can get. From things we don't know until we know, for example diving. During the tour we were accompanied by advisors namely Mam Atri and Mam Etha. Accompanied by Vendors from PT. Mitra Selaras, do not forget to also accompany the tour leader who is always accompanied by Mr. Didit and Mrs. Sardika and we will not reach our destination without a professional driver, Mr. Alimuddin and Mr. Rangga We are very grateful to all of them.
One thing I can take from this Marine tour is safety. Every time we go on a tour or fieldtrip safety and security is very important. Especially when the marine tour was conducted, I got the assignment as the person in charge of P3k. Based on the experience of the marine tour, many friends were injured because of coral at sea and not feeling well because of long time activities at sea. Therefore safety and readiness of equipment is very important when carrying out the tour.
