Bali has in rece nt years been better known as a tropical paradise and idyllic honeymoon destination with it’s year round cooling breezes and warm, but not hot, climate it’s been a tourist Mecca for decades. Recently though, diving in Bali, is a phrase you hear more and more often these days and for very good reason. Macro to massive, diving in Bali has it all and is, surprisingly, one of South East Asia’s less dived spots for some unknown reason.
Diving around Bali is varied and widespread. The island is large and contrary to popular opinion not full of tourists. The tourist area is based mainly in the south of the island around the surfing hot spots and takes up possibly 5% o the islan d. Obviously diving and surfing don't generally mix so well and the best diving spots are based around the east and north of the island with other dive spots on the islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan a 45 minute boat ride to the east. Once you leave the tourist areas in the south you feel like you have stepped back in time as you travel through local villages and towns travelling north.
The difficult thing about diving in Bali and a good reason to take advantage of our services is because the dive areas are widely spaced around the island and involve staying in one resorts and enduring long days or changing resorts every 2-3 days to create a land and diving safari around the island.
We recommend you start on the west or the north of the island where there are some fantastic macro spots and also the stunning walls of Minjangan island. You dive and travel at your own speed east including all the hot spots of PJ, Seraya, Tulamben and Ahmed in the north and onto Padangbai in the east moving onto boats for diving in Bali's neighbour islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan.
