Hi Laixi,
Thanks for your interest in Bali Scuba. Let me give you the details of our
day trips ... Nusa Penida (US$85), Gili Tepekong ($85), Tulamben ($60),
Menjangan ($85), Amed ($70) and Padang Bai ($70). We don't usually dive Nusa
Dua or Sanur because the dive sites there are so poor.
These prices are per person and include all transport hotel to dive site &
return, lunch & soft drinks, tanks & weights for two dives, PADI
Instructor/Divemaster as guide.
Equipment rental is $15 per day for a full set.
Nusa Penida ... consisting of about 10 different dive sites ... has very
healthy corals, and a good variety of both reef fish and pelagics (and often
strong currents making for great drift diving). Gili Tepekong / Mimpang is
the best place to see sharks on Bali as well as a great swimthrough, but for
experienced divers only due to wicked currents. The USS Liberty wreck at
Tulamben is suitable for all levels and generally regarded as one of the
best sites in Bali (visited by over 400 species of reef fish, 100 pelagics)
and like Nusa Penida, Tulamben has a number of different dive sites. Padang
Bai is very famous for the beautiful 'Blue Lagoon' and wide variety of
marine life found there - often (but not always!) including sharks &
turtles. Menjangan has some very colourful dive sites, and the best
wall-diving in Bali as well as a wooden shipwreck starting at 40m. Amed has
some nice reefs (if you know where to look) and a great Garden Eel colony.
If you want more detailed information about these sites you can visit
http://www.kapalselam.org/bali.dive.sites.php. They give good & honest
descriptions.
Nusa Penida is the closest (about 40 mins. in our speedboat), Gili Tepekong
about one and a half hours by car then a few minutes by local boat, Padang
Bai about an hour by car then a few minutes by local boat, Tulamben about
two and a half hours by car (then beach entry), Amed about two hours by car
then a few minutes by local boat, Menjangan quite a looong way I'm afraid
... though if you want to go there on a day trip we will take you. These
times are from our dive centre here in Sanur, so add about 20 mins; anyway
we will pick you up and drop you back each day wherever you are staying.
If you want, instead of taking a series of day trips (and returning back to
the same location each night) I can prepare a diving / transport /
accommodation safari for you (staying overnight at different locations).
This will help you cut down on the travelling time and also give you a
chance to see around Bali. If you want me to do this please tell me how many
people, if you have your own equipment, how many days you want, and your
certification levels & approximate number of logged dives. Also whether you
prefer Budget, Standard, or Superior accommodation.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you want to make a booking, send you
details of a diving / transport / accommodation safari, or have any other
questions at all.
Best Wishes, Simon Gilbert (PADI Instructor 617694)
