Wife and I will be in Bali from Sep 18 thru Sep 29. We're spending the first 4 nights in Tulamben, hopefully improving my underwater photo skills and her buoyency control. The remaining 7 nights of our schedule is wide open with 6 full days of possible diving. I've done some research here and learned about the many different sites as well as some operators but there's so many options it's become a logistical nitemare (it's actually affecting my work...but i didn't say that )
Basically I'm looking for suggestions on the best (i.e. most sensible) way to fill out our trip. Places of interest include Menjangan and sites around Nusa Penida and maybe Gili Selang and Gili Tepekong. I was thinking going out to Menjangan straight from Tulamben but then I'm lost as to where to go next. Candidasa? Sanur? My preference is to move hotels and stay close to where I'll be diving as opposed to doing the day trip.
I feel like the trek out to Menjangan is what's making the planning difficult, but I feel like it'll be worth it. I'd prefer to maximize the diving at a particular location rather than spread ourselves thin, but obviously I don't want to spend more time than I need at the expense of trying somewhere new.
One last thing...I think there's a full moon on Sep 29 and I'm not sure how that'll affect our ability to dive some of the sites on the east side. Would I be better of diving the east side right after Tulamben and then doing Menjangan towards the end?
Can anyone offer me the "perfect" itinerary?
