Hello, I'm finally wanting to do my DMT - I have around 100 logged dives and my S&R already completed. I'm due to fly to Bali in mid May, but I really have up until the end of October before I wanna have it finished (I can kill some time travelling around to wait for better conditions). I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to two locations:
Last year I did some diving from Nusa Penida which shares most of it's dive sites with Nusa Lembognan, I really liked it there but I don't think any of the dive schools there run DMT programs. I don't really have any interest in going to the main stream Gili's, Tulamben could be an option I guess but I generally prefer big stuff (I know I'm there to learn, but nice diving is always a plus).
I'm really looking for some advice on who good operators are and especially those with good DMT courses. Also in terms of South Lombok, do most places even offer DMT courses? A lot of places seem to require at least 100 logged dives during the hammerhead season, so not sure if that would even be an option.
It'd be great if I could find some place that would let me dive for free after the course is completed as well, I know this is common in Thailand but not sure how common it is in Indonesia (obviously would help out, I also have a business in internet marketing on the side).
Would people recommend waiting until the start of August until it's peak season? Or am I better off doing it sooner rather than later. Any other suggestions on where else to dive before/after would be fantastic.
- Nusa Lembognan
- Sekotong Tengah (Belongas Bay)
