Diving in Bali: Update

Bali lies in the Indian Ocean, north-west of Australia. It measures just 140 by 80 km (87 by 50 miles). There is diving all year round: between April and September is the dry season but the best diving is possibly between September and November. There are a wide variety of dive sites, some suiting beginners and others with fierce currents and only for experienced divers. The SCUBA Travel site now lists more dive operators, dive sites and a new guide book on Bali.

Bali's best dive sites are located away from the major tourist areas. On route to the better dive sites you travel through some very pretty Balinese countryside, seeing rice terraces, coastline, rural villages and Bali's most revered volcano Mount Agung on your journeys: take your camera. Roads in Bali are not up to western standards, therefore it takes longer to get from A to B than it would "back home" if you simply look at the miles/kms involved.
