Hey guys,
Back on SB after a 3 year absence. Feel like I have spent the entire day catching up on Bali diving news. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post thoughtful posts and replies. There's lots of interesting stuff on here!
I'm getting back in the water to introduce two mates to diving on a trip to Bali which starts tomorrow. I've decided - subject to a better argument from any wise hands on SB - that a few days in Gili T will provide very relaxing topside, plus a solid OW lesson environment (safety and the absence of cocky cowboy instructors being a priority). I realise that Gili T won't give the best diving in the world, but I think it will provide a good intro (gentle enough, good night time activity, food, swimming, etc). Right now I'm thinking The Beach House for accom and Manta Dive for lessons.
Later, subject to my mates enjoying the whole diving experience, I'll propose a few days at Tulamben, where we can explore some more challenging and more interesting diving - including a night dive on the Liberty if they are game. Accom and diving ideas yet to be confirmed - Terminal Tauch, Mimpi and Seraya all appeal.
I guess this is just me thinking out aloud. If anyone has any suggestions or improvements I'd be glad to hear them. Hopefully I'll be able to provide everyone with a good dive report when I return.
Cheers in anticipation.
