Dangers of Bali

Secret Bali Pirates' Marina

Stories about Indonesian pirates are scary. Likelihood to encounter them on a diving trip in Bali is infinitesimally low. However, you have the right to be informed.

To know how to react in an unlikely event of encounter with pirates in Indonesian waters, here is some background on the structure of piracy business and the best method to fend them off.

We will try to get to the bottom of some crucial questions.

Where are these pirates recruited from? Who are they?

We are looking for some really bad characters with years of experience in illegal activities.

Where the hell are they trained?! What secret training camps are these?

Probably they have years and years of practicing illegal activities under their belts.

What activity is illegal in this country, but still practiced?

Corruption.

Where we would find the highest number of most corrupted individuals?

a)      people toiling at the road works

b)      people working in rice fields

c)      people attending their cattle

d)     public servants in government offices

It’s beyond the scope of my common sense regarding self-preservation (or what’s left of it) to provide you a correct answer.

At least, even if we do not reveal their origins, you will be able to fend them off in case of an attack.

Simply use their ingrained subprogram which prevents them to take even a shit without first receiving a fat envelope.

When they extend a hand for an envelope, as you should bribe them first, so they are stimulated to rob and kill you, you simply do not give it.

And without proper incentive (their holy corruption fee) they are by default disabled for any action.
