Bali DivingBali is located in the Lesser Sundas, midway along Indonesia's southernmost chain of islands between Java and Lombok. The island's south coast just touches the easternmost edge of the Indian Ocean, while the north coast looks onto the Java sea. To the southeast lie the islands of Nusa Penida and Ceningan, both of which offer excellent diving, and at Bali's for northwestern tip lies Pulau Menjangan, a part of Bali Barat National Park, a protected Nature Reserve. Bali's greater charm, perhaps, is its wide range and variety of sites. You can dive in Bali on a steel shipwreck.Off vertical drop-offs. Over sand slopes. Off black, volcanic outcrops. Off limestone shores. Amomg huge boomies. In roaming currents. In quiet bays. Along deep, coral-covered ridges. Over seagrass beds in three meters. In short, all tastes are accommodated here, from snorkeling among mangrove roots to exploring a blak coral forest at seventy meters. The one difficult point in this otherwise idyllic picture is the fact that the most of Bali's dive sites are located far from the main resorts. Most of Bali's hotels and tourist amenities are clustered in three areas at the southern tip of the island: Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dua. Unfortunately, the best of Bali's diving is several hours' drive away, along the east coast and on the north shore, as well as offshore around the island of Nusa Penida. Bali Diving Sites: |
