ABOVE THE WATER
Bali is an island of Indonesia known for its incredible beaches, volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies and extremely friendly locals! It is an extremely accommodating island that truly has it all. Head to Kuta and Seminyak for bars, restaurants and shopping, escape to ubud for yoga, relaxation, rush over to Nusa Lembongan for some fantastic surfing and finally visit either Nusa Penida, Menjangan or Tulamben for the best in diving!
UNDER THE WATER
Although Bali is most famous for its cheap & cheerful getaways and partying in Kuta, there is another side to this beautiful island that will delight scuba divers. There are several excellent shore dives around Tulamben, and you can also do day tours to regions such as Padang Bai, Batu Kelebit, Nusa Penida, Mimpang and Amed. Sites range from coral diving to macro diving, and some are famous for sharks, sunfish or manta rays. This is a great place to bring your non-diving friends, as there are lots of land tours to delight you including visits to temples, waterfalls, jungles, caves, hot springs and rivers.
The Mola Mola sunfish, a large disc-shaped fish with a thick skin that glides around the open ocean and comes to the surface on occasion to sun itself, can be found here during July to September.
Bali is also home to the USAT Liberty shipwreck, a US Army transport ship that was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942. The wreck is sitting in black sand at a maximum of 30m, with the top in 3m making it excellent for snorkelers and divers of all certifications. It is an explosion of marine life, encrusted in corals and covered in schools of fish such as trevally, fusiliers, colourful anthias, batfish and sweetlips as well as a great number of macro species.
