It only took me two dive trips to enjoy Bali diving, during which I spent a total of 6 weeks and fell in love with the Indonesian island. The only problem may be that I’m not the only one, but the good news is most people stay in the south over Kuta, while scuba divers usually stay over Amed on the east coast. Which is much quieter and where Bali is still Bali. For those still dreaming of getting there, let me guide you through how to plan a first dive trip to Bali successfully, so you don’t rush trying to see everything and have an enjoyable diving holiday.
Where is the best diving in Bali?
The island of Bali is not enormous, less than 6,000 km², and also added the smaller islands of Lembongan, Penida, and Ceningan in the east and Menjangan in the north. Due to the reasonable distances, some dive centers in the south offer day trips as far as Menjangan Island, but I wouldn’t recommend doing this. Thanks to its variety of dive sites, the best thing is to go on a road trip to link all the best dive sites in Bali. My dominant tip is to make sure you have the right level of scuba diving to avoid any disaster. Some dive sites are deep, and others have strong currents. Generally speaking, Indonesia is a dive destination that is better appreciated; for an advanced diver. After all, Bali has a few spots that are a good fit for beginner divers.
