Hello,
We are planning a 2 week trip to Bali and Komodo for the 2019 Christmas/New Year holiday. We are beginner divers (my husband about 20 dives and me 50) and will get AOW in Nov.
We have found a 5 day LOB for Komodo, but are not sure about diving in Bali in Dec.
From my research online, seems that Dec is NOT a good time to dive in Bali, due to the rain season.
How bad is it? Low visibility? Strong currents? Is it worth diving there in Dec at all or should we just plan to do things topside?
We are looking for a destination with interesting topside (with landscape for hiking, jungle, natural beaches, etc) and good (but not too challenging) diving, landbased or LOB. This is not a diving only trip. We considered Maldive first, but its topside doesn;t seem interesting enough to us.
Any wisdom to share or destination to recommend? We are also interested in Raja Ampat, but it seems to be much harder to get to than Bali/Komodo.
Thanks!
Sue and Scott
