Bali

Divers heading straight for Komodo, Manado or the Lembeh Strait often overlook Bali as a dive destination. But Bali has many and diverse dive sites, offering exceptional diving for all levels. From protected, shallow bays populated by exotic Scorpion Fish, octopus and nudibranchs, to exciting drift diving in wild currents with sharks, Mola Mola and Manta Rays and wreck diving in Tulamben Bay, where reef fish swarm the wreck of the World War II vessel, the Liberty, and black coral growth is lush - Bali has it all!

Experience Bali's excellent diving and culture either as an add-on to your Indonesian diving trip or as a complete and inexpensive dive holiday. Dive Worldwide can organise accommodation to suit all tastes and pockets - from simple dive lodges to luxurious five-star hotels, any Bali dive sites and any number of diving days and include land-tours in your holiday.

Aquamarine, a British-run dive centre, is located in the main resort of Kuta, an area of fabulous beaches and lively night-life. Make Kuta your base and Aquamarine will arrange for you to be picked up and dropped back at your hotel on dive days.

Bali also offers visitors a wealth of non-diving activities: hike to the top of a volcano, walk along terraced rice fields, visit ancient temples, raft down a river or enjoy a relaxing massage on the beach.
