I’m stopping over in Bali for a few days before heading to Wakatobi. Let me know if you’re up for diving or if you can recommend a good dive shop.

Jeff, you suck! :) Two of my favorite spots, enjoy.

In Bali I used Absolute Scuba up the coast in Padang Bai, the dive op and rooms were good, the food not, there was a European run restaurant up the street with great meals. You can rent a cab for the day for US$30 so don’t feel locked into tours.

The best diving was up around the Liberty wreck and there is a great dive shop there but I don’t remember the name, maybe someone here will chime in and there are DB members in Bali :)

Carry toilet paper!

On the flight to and from Wakatobi lock everything not on your person, the flight crew took my carry-on and put it in baggage. There is no place to stow it in the cabin. Somewhere along the route I got robbed.

Hi! I will be arriving in Bali on 31-Aug till 9-Sep. Spending first 5D4N diving in the Gilis before returning back to mainland for dives in Tulamben and Nusa Penida.

Not sure of your cold water tolerance, temperature in NP wld be approx 18 - 20 deg celc. Wear a thermal guard or double layer of wetsuit to keep you warm.

Good luck! It is the Mola-Mola season there. :)
