Bali: Indonesia's Dive Tourism Hotspot
FOR A QUICK, CONVENIENT TASTE OF the best of Indonesian diving in all its variety then Bali offers the perfect solution. It’s easy to get to, easy to get around, has a sophisticated tourist infrastructure and offers a wide range of attractions: accessible shipwrecks, beautiful coral reefs, deep drop-offs, big fish sightings and black sand muck dives with rare and unusual creatures.
Forget the island’s west and south coasts: you can leave them to the surfers. Bali’s major dive spots are in Pemuteran in the northwest, along the Tulamben and Amed coastline in the northeast, close to Padang Bai in the southeast, and around the offshore islands of Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan across the southern straits.
How to choose where to go? It depends what you want to see and, to a lesser extent, what time of year you are visiting.
