Because the island has many beaches, there are certainly many water sports offered. Ranging from snorkeling, banana boat, parasailing, bungee jumping, flying fish, and so forth. If you have more, no one tried to kind of water sports this one, diving. Diving or diving may only have the illusion we are. But all will be different if we had set foot into the land of Bali this. Diving in Bali may be a dream come true for us all. With the famous thousand of his pura ,Bali was also known as a world-class diving (World Class Diving) because of its natural beauty.


Bali Island is a favorite destination for diving world. For the first time diving do not worry, there are so many places that provide a short diving course. Rate per attempt was not very expensive, even if we take the package that consists of several activities, the price can be cheaper. If we plan some dives in Bali, it is advisable to contact one of the few dive tour operator there. They can also help us to book a hotel room with a cost we can, and also help plan the dive program in accordance with the wishes and our experience. The dive tour operator is usually also include the entire cost of rental equipment. Including tanks and ballast, guide and lunch. If we need other equipment such as BC and regulator, it is better to be examined again to ensure the good condition of equipment. Also a good idea if we check all the equipment before we dive the next day.


There are five major areas that are frequently visited by divers in Bali. Nusa Dua and Sanur, Nusa Penida, Padang Bai and Candi Dasa, Tulamben and Cemeluk, and Pemuteran and Menjangan. Each area has special characteristics. Half of the experienced divers to advanced divers can try here. When we menyempatkan diving in Nusa Dua and Sanur, too many do not expect to see a coral reef. Order coral reefs there is not so good to see, compared to the Bali the other. But if we want to see the fish, dive area of Nusa Dua and Sanur is not too disappointing. Results snap shot monitoring done by the network of Reef Check in Bali showed that the condition Terumbu variety, although in general quite good. Some places have a nappe Terumbu relatively low. However, as a consequence, this place has a unique attraction that is not in place, such as Tulamben. Some areas with fast currents do not have any hard coral imprisonment rates, replaced carpet with soft coral and gorgoniannya. While other regions are dominated by coral coverings that meeting. Balinese, actually provides a selection of menu diving easily accessible from anywhere.
