Welcome to the Indonesian section of SCUBA Travel covering Bali, Lombok, Alor, Manado, Gili Islands, Sulawesi, Komodo and West Papua/Irian Jaya.

Bali

Since the bomb on 12 October 2002, the number of divers visiting Bali has fallen dramatically. Bali at the moment, therefore, guarantees uncrowded dive sites and a warm welcome from the struggling dive operators and tourist industry.

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. April and May is the time to see Manta Rays. Mola-mola (oceanic sunfish) are present all year round, but the best time to see them is August to October. There are a wide variety of dive sites, some suiting beginners and others with fierce currents and only for experienced divers.
