Hi All!
Does anyone have recommendations for where to stay for diving the Liberty Wreck in Tulamben, and Nusa Penida? I've read from these boards that it's best to get to the Liberty Wreck early, to avoid the crowds, but not sure how much that would apply around this time (I'm going to be there between 9/5 - 9/11 - 6 nights). Should I stay a night in Amed so that I can get up early to dive the wreck? I'll be arriving late in the afternoon (around 4PM) the first day, and leaving around the same time on the last day, so I will only have 5 full days there - I figure I can do 3 days of diving, as I want to devote some time to topside activities. I can get a great rate on some hotels in Nusa Dua through a friend who works at Starwood, but not sure if that's too far away from everything. I don't necessarily need to have the most luxurious resort, but something nice and midrange would be nice. Can I stay in Nusa Dua for diving Nusa Penida, or should I stay somewhere else? We would really love to see the Mola Mola and the Manta Rays, so that's a must do, as is the Liberty Wreck, which I've heard is awesome. Ideally, I'd like to do at least 2 or 3 dives at the Liberty Wreck (maybe include a night dive), and maybe do 2 days of diving at Nusa Penida to have a better chance to see the Mola Mola. Any tips and suggestions are highly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance! :cool2:
