Hi,

Im going to Bali in JUne (from UK).

Ive got some diving booked but would appreciate some advice about good dive sites and indeed other places to visit/avoid?

Im Padi Rescue with approx 250 dives.

Cheers

It depend on your preference, but most people love Tulamben.
Bali is not a small island, check here the detail information including dive map for the most popular sites in Bali ...and others in Indonesia.

Tulamben and the Liberty Wreck there is an excellent location. From Kuta or Sanur it's easily a 3 possibly 4 hours drive, pending on traffic, each way.
Pending on what yu're after during the evenings/nights, stay directly at Tulamben or a location nearer to Tulamben like Candidasa.

Personally, my first choice is Tulamben but I am biaised over macro and coral stuff.
Otherwise the Gilis (Gili Mimpang, Gili Tepekong) right off Candi Dasa maybe challenging but they can be very good, always plenty of sharks.

I really enjoy Tulamben for some marco/muck diving(also pop to seraya secrets) and Nusa Penida/Lembongan for a good mixture of diving. Did not get to dive

Gili Mimpang, Gili Tepekong due to an ear infection

but my friends enjoyed it alot and enjoyed the currents and sharks!!

Thanks for this, Ill take your advice on the Gilis.

Cheers

Hi Russell I'm in Tulamben at the moment. Can really recommend Liberty Dive Resort. Liberty Dive Resort (Tulamben, Indonesia) - Resor Khusus Ulasan - TripAdvisor

The diving here isn't as good as it was a week or two ago, but still 15-20m viz most days. Diving here is really effected by the wind/swell.

Here's some short vids I made a couple of weeks ago in Tulamben:

Humphead Parrotfish, Scuba Diving at USAT Liberty, Tulamben, Bali (16m) 07/05/12 - GoPro HD Hero2 - YouTube

I would go Amed or Tulamben (or both). I'm going to Amed next week, will let you know what the conditions are like. PM if you'd like more details about anything (I'm from the UK also!)

Cheers,

My friend reported of mola sighting on the Liberty wreck at May 27, morning

Wow! Great luck there

I've seen many Pigmy Sea Horses on the Wreck and also The Dropoff - amazing.

I'll be doing some Bali diving in June, at Menjangan area. Another SBer (shortdivemedic) will join me for a few days and then continue on to Tulamben after I leave. If you'd like to discuss the idea of joining in, let me know!
