Thanks, of course we are. Shark protection is a very important issue. We actually received some really good input from one of the people involved in the Project and are using some of the data and info provided by Project Shark in our presentation so we can make sure we educate more people. And...

PADI has recently introduced the new AWARE Shark Conservation Diver Specialty. An interesting course about the conservation status of sharks, the actions that can be taken to protect them and the sharks that can be found here on Bali. It is now possible to take this course in combination with...

Hi there, Just to come back to your malaria question. Bali does not have any malaria issues, so that makes it easy ;-) I always recommend people to do a dive safari. It means everything will be organised for you and you get to see the best sites on the island. Either way, enjoy your planning...

I agree with Absoluteamanda. Diving is still definitely worthwhile in the rainy season. It is also less likely to be busy which is a great advantage. Rainy season here usually means one shower a day, quite often in the evening. So land-based activities are also not much of a problem.

Hi Ardy, You can also take a look at Coral Garden dive site, about 20 meter east of the Liberty wreck. It is a very shallow dive site, has a lot of marine life and a perfect place to some snorkelling. Have fun on your trip!

Hi there, Yes there are quite a few sites accessible from Sanur: Nusa Penida is about 45 minutes by boat. It is probably not the best place to start for your wife if she is just new to diving, but it is famous for its Manta Point with a high chance of spotting mantas. Padang Bay is...

Thank You for the additional very good reason to come to Bali :D

Looking to spend the summer underwater in Bali? Then the PADI Divemaster Internship might be a good option for you. Depending on how much time you have you can opt for the 1 or 2 month internship at Joe's Gone Diving in Bali. You learn how to guide dives and get to improve your own diving...

Hi there, It was 28-29 degrees there last week. So nice and warm ;-)

Hi, The visibility is impacted during the rainy season, but it will still be pretty good. When we dived at Menjangan last week, the dives were still great, even though the visibility was not as good as you would expect later during the year. Menjangan is actually the nicest when there is a...

Hi, Yes, you would change hotels every couple of days, but you are actually looking at about 3/4 different locations depending on your preference. You would definitely need an overnight stay up north to dive places like Menjangan, Pemuteran and Puri Jati. Then another 1 or 2 days in the...

Hi there, I think there are a couple of options. You could use Sanur as a base for your dives on Nusa Penida. The trip to Nusa Penida is about 35-50 minutes by boat depending which location you go to and normally you could be back around 1 or 2 o'clock. You could do your AOW in Sanur as well...

Hi there, It depends a bit how experienced a diver you are. Tulamben, Padang Bai and Menjangan are great locations for diving regardless of your experience. If you are more experienced, Nusa Penida is a must dive location, chances to see the Mola Mola are highest here and Manta Point is a...

Bali, Indonesia have a look at the different divesites : Bali Dive Sites Descriptions - Joe's Gone Diving And there good priced options for dive safaries around the island: Dive Safaris Bali - Joe's Gone Diving Bali has a mix of all kind of different dive types, from wall (menjangan island)...

Hi there, It also depends on what you are looking for for the rest of your holiday. Is just a beach enough or would you also like to have easy access to restaurants and other activities? Most activity is really in the South of the island and not so much in the East or North. You can do...

Hi there, You could also consider staying in Pemuteran rather than Menjangan, there are more options to choose from. I stayed at the Aneka Bagus hotel in Pemuteran before which I really liked, but there are many alternatives there. You can easily dive on Menjangan from there and Pemuteran...

Hi there, I have to agree I am afraid. Unfortunately there are not so many options if you just have one afternoon. You could consider one dive in the Sanur area, but the best dive sites on Bali are day trips really. If you are looking for a longer trip in April it might be worthwhile to...

Hi, I cannot agree more, the weather in Bali can be very unpredictable. Last year in December it was beautiful and gorgeous weather. However at the moment it is raining pretty bad for a couple of days now. Maybe that will mean the weather will be great next year in Feb, who knows... ;)...

Hi Sonar, Hope I can answer most of your questions. First of all, diving in Bali is absolutely brilliant - but maybe I am prejudiced as we are about to open our dive center here ;-) The variety of dive sites is immense here. If you want more action packed dives, the Nusa Penida area is...

Hi there, Bali has some great diving to offer. So I would definitely add on some dives in Bali. Each side of the island has a different type of diving, so it depends a bit on your preference which part is best. Nusa Penida/Nusa Lembongan As already mentioned above it is mola mola...
