Bali, as an island, is surrounded
by sea. All year-long, sunshine gives you a chance to
enjoy many offshore attractions.
Diving and snorkeling are among major
attractions in Bali. Divers can view various marine
creatures, such as colorful tropical fish and coral
reefs. The best time for diving here is in the dry season
that lasts from April to October, when warmer temperatures
invite more fish and the objects can be clearly viewed.
Bali offers a lot of sites for beginners
and professional divers, with some of them adjacent
to the shore with abundant colorful hard and soft corals.
Once you start diving, a wide variety of marine life,
such as dolphins, rays, turtle, sea snakes and moray
eels will greet you.
The locations for diving and snorkeling
in Bali spread out along Bali's sea. The popular sites
are located on the southern part: Sanur and Nusa Island
(Lembongan and Nusa Penida); in the western part are
Labuan Lalang, Menjangan Island, an uninhabited island
with some of the best diving in Bali; in the north of
the island is Lovina that will undoubtedly satisfy your
diving needs. On the east coast are Amed where virgin
nature can be enjoyed, Tulamben, Candidasa and Padang
Bay also.
Surfing can be done everyday in Bali.
Bali's magnificent surfing was introduced by Australian
surfers at the end of 60's, and since then, Bali has
become a paradise for surfers. Not just because of various
choices for beaches and breaks, but surfing in Bali
can be done everyday! Perfect wave to ride on are always
available somewhere on this island. Kuta and Ulawatu
are recognized for their magnificent surfing waves.
Out-standing reef breaks are found
in Kuta and Sanur. Sanur reef is a real pleasure because,
here you will find a tube-forming wave that will carry
you back to the seashore and in this way, it is unnecessary
for you to paddle like a madman.
