Diving Centres in BaliIn many places in Bali you can dive without a guide. Talking with the people at dive shops or looking at dive guide books will give more than enough information. However, some places with strong currents are recommended only with a guide who knows the area. For diving centres in other parts of Indonesia click here.

Jl. Danau Tamblingan X / 40-42 Rating: "Tauch Terminal is a great place to stay and a well-run dive operations. I would recommend it without hesitation to other divers. You can dive the Liberty wreck right from the shore, as well as a splendid dropoff on the right-hand edge of the bay (as you look at the water). Tauch Terminal has pleasantly decorated rooms, good food, a nice pool and friendly staff. As usual in Asia, ask for a discount and see what happens!
" "Had been dive in Bali with Tauch Terminal Bali. It was fantastic, have great resort, excellent dive service, complete dive facilities and great staff.

Jl. Tirta Ening No. 2 Rating: "Having heard so much about diving Bali, I travelled out last year. Bali diving is the best that I have had so far, and by far. The vis was fanastic, the diving great, the coral reefs so beautiful and alive. My greatest memory was having my first Manta encounter, (16ft wing span) I will be returning to Bali many times, and will always recommend that all divers should visit Bali at least once in their lives. All at Blue Dive were great to work with, and helped make my trip out there so worth while.

Mimpi Resort Tulamben Rating: "Bali: super, great place for diving with multiple excellent dive sites. Especially liked Mimpi's at Tulamben.

JL.Karang Sari 88 Rating: "I've been to Bali twice and had fantastic diving both times. What an amazing place, and some of the top diving in the world. I very highly recommend Widana Dive. I've dived with I Made Widana (the company owner) each time and the professional service is second to none. The cost is also very good.

Run by Emiko who has been in Tulamben, for nearly twenty years and was the first dive operator there. The dive shop is attached to the Paradise Palm Beach Bungalows
Paradise Palm Beach "We stayed at Paradise Palm Beach Bungalows in Tulamben and dived with the attached dive shop, Dive Paradise Tulamben. the resort is very pleasant, our bungalow was nice and clean and just a stone's throw from the beach. I remember that it looked like a piece of heaven after the long trip from Europe. The staff are nice and good humored: their restaurant is a nice place to stay between dives. Our dive guide, Gusti, was really ok. If interested in booking there, the manager Emiko can work up a package with dives and accomodation for a good rate. Rates are a good deal anyway: 28 US$ for a double room with breakfast, meals are very cheap like everywhere else in Bali. Dives rate are 40 US$ for two dives, including guide, tanks, weights and porters to the dive site. You can dive on your own too: 15 US$ for the first tank and 5 US$ each tank further. "

Jl. By Pass Ngurah rai no.46E Rating: "I've been diving with Air Diving Academy for 6 years and recommend them highly. Their reliable service covers everything I could possibly need - they handle everything including trasnport, accommodation, meals, equipment, guides and of course all diving arrangements from the minute I come out of the terminal to the moment I check back on to my flight home. They're reliable, accommodating, flexible and able to put together excellent trips to a variety of sites all over the island that match my and my groups' interests.

JL silayukti gang luhur Rating: "I did my Open Water with Ikandive, a diving club in Pagandbai. They were very professional, very fun to dive with, I felt they knew the sites very well and were able to show us around the best places with the most unsual fishes. Even at our level! I would fully recommend people to try them out !!! I am definitely going back there next year to pursue my diving carreer! They were terrific to me during my open water and made me discover the wonders of life under water in a fun and very professional way! an Absolute must.

Amed Scuba Dive Center "We are a young company operating since two years. We are experienced because we worked before for other dive schools here for a small income. Because we are Balinese and we have to start with all by our own with a little help from friends and former customers of mine, we need more time to build up everything but I am sure we will be successful in the future. We offer a very good service and our customers write very nice about us! Please help us to be successful as western companies." "I can realy recommand the Divemaster Nyoman Sariana! I dived twice with Amed Scuba now. It was a brilliant service and all the time we had a lot of fun! I am divemaster as well and I loved all the diving sites around Bali but my favorite is Gili Selang, lots of different corals, huge groups of fish, eagle ray, sharks.....I will dive with them again!" "In July this year I took my first overseas trip .. destination Bali. My
ex-partner recommended that we take a diving experience with Nyoman who runs Amed Scuba Diving Center. I had never dived before and was extremely anxious. This anxiety was quickly alleviated by Nyoman with fun, laughter and so much knowledge of diving and the local area. He explained every detail in a way in which both the experienced and the novice could understand. I absolutely enjoyed my diving experience and so did my ex-partner who is an experienced diver. The fish, the coral and the diving areas that Nyoman took us to, were breathtaking and incredible. I gained memories that will not fade as we took in and shared the local area, culture and people with Nyoman. I really wanted to spread the word about Amed Scuba Dive Center. If a traveler would like to experience Bali Diving at its best, there really is no better place then to accomplish this then in the experienced hands of Nyoman. It would be so wonderful if so many other travelers could experience what myself and my ex-partner experienced."
