Give us your recommendations for diving in Indonesia.
We have tickets to Singapore and from there we'll continue to some part of Indonesia.
We are traveling at the end of May and we have three weeks to go and explore.
Probably two places would be nice. Also like to explore places above the surface.
Diver 1: 95 dives, 40m, nitrox, doesn't like cold water or currents
Diver 2: 245 dives, 45m, tmx, happy when diver 1 is happy
Diver 1 has done most of her dives in Thailand (Koh Tao, Ko Lanta, Similan, Surin).
Conditions has always been really good and we don't have that much experience on currents.
One dive we did at Similan where we just went along with the current the whole dive and it was nice, but there were no up or down currents and it was easy. Mild current is ok, but there are just too many stories about someone hanging on rocks because of a down current and then crawling to safety. Diver 1 also doesn't enjoy cold at all. We do have 5mm long wetsuits and hoods if necessary.
Which islands, dive sites and operators do you recommend? Original plan was to start from Nusa Penida area, but so far I have heard that the water is somewhere between 18C (64F) and 28C (82F) and diver 1 gets cold easily.
Of course it would be nice to see mantas other big things, but I assume those come along with currents and colder water. We also enjoy seeing a lot of smaller stuff.
Thanks.
