Indonesia Diving

Travelling to Bali is an experience in itself, but Bali’s dive sites are in a world of their own. With deep drop-offs, steep banks, coral ridges and a world famous wreck, these waters are home to great depths of ecological, geographic and historic sights, framed by a coast dotted with volcanoes and rice paddies. The most popular dive destinations are Nusa Penida, Tulamben, Amuk Bay and Menjangan.

Some of the extraordinary local marine life includes mola mola (sunfish), hairy frogfish and pygmy seahorses, while more ‘usual’ sightings are of reef sharks, blue spotted stingrays, turtles and parrotfish. Visibility can be anywhere between 6 and 45m, and current strengths also vary substantially from one dive site to another. The water is generally at a comfortable temperature and the best diving months are from April to December.

There are various locally based dive operators and resorts offering anything from snorkelling over the wreck to dive excursions or courses. Visitors may use their own kit or rent equipment from the operator or resort, and all divers must carry valid scuba certification.
