LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL ITINERARY INFORMATION
Itinerary: Bali: Incredible Dives
Untitled Document
Everyone can see the surfer on top of Bali’s waves, but underwater there’s even more action.
Follow the coast around Bali and you’ll be rewarded with one legendary dive spot after another, all with great dive shops in nearby towns.
Pulau Menjangan in the national park is renowned for its coral and has the best local diving. The nearby
Pemuteran hotels define relaxation. Staying at these hotels is yet another reason why this is a good place to dive.
Lovina is a good diving base, since you can reach many of Bali’s best sites by day and still have time for one of the local night dives.
Down the east coast is Tulamben, where scores of people explore the shattered hulk of a WWII freighter. A smaller wreck lurks off the shores of
Aas near Amed.
Padangbai is another good diving base; there are lots of local sites to explore and the fish life encompasses everything from sharks to sunfish.
The brass ring for your dives might just be in the distance offshore.
Nusa Penida and
Nusa Lembongan have scores of demanding dives to challenge experienced divers. The rewards are deep grottoes, drop-offs, and everything from mantas to turtles.
