ScubaSeanMaui: The good diving is on the northeast coast at Nusa Penida, Padang Bai, and Tulamben. I would go with the above suggestion as you only have 7days in Bali. Menjangan Island, unless you pretty much confined yourselves to only diving there, is just a bit too far. You said you will...

You could consider Bali - Air Asia also flies directly here (as well as to Manado). Bali has great diversity of dive locations, lots of fish including some big ones (reef sharks, Mantas and the like) and you don't need to stay in the southern touristy-area, lots of places where you can chill...

Feb/March I'd say you'd be better off (as regards weather/conditions) at Menjangan Island Diving in the Tulamben area is: wreck, reef, wall, muck, macro, shore and boat (as far as taking a little outrigger fishing boat is boat-diving). Hope that's useful. Annabel Annabel Thomas, Director...

For diving Lembeh, particularly for location within Lembeh itself, I'd suggest you look at BlackSandDive.com. I was there mid-2008 and spent a great deal of time (ie when not doing guided boat dives!) doing unguided dives on their 'house reef' which is basically TK1 and TK3 (from memory). The...

Not that you'd be diving there ... but ... Bali is a great deal safer in all respects (imho) than, say, London - which is where I'm from. Suggest if you decide to do Sulawesi/Manado, that you contact Murex www.MurexDive.com who dive Bunaken Marine Park and also provide the diving for Lembeh...

Yes, try Bali! The rainy season officially runs Oct-March, however I believe the best diving season here is Sept-Nov, and again Apr/May. Now's the time for Mola-Mola (Oceanic sunfish) too. Great diversity of dive sites and marinelife, lots to do topside as well. Have a great trip...

There are some ripping/challenging currents in Komodo so you should definitely let the liveaboard operator know your expereince level before you book. And repeat it once you are on the boat in case the info has not been passed on. As for Bali, well the diversity of sites is one of the...

As you only have one day to dive Tulamben, you might want to have a company come and pick you up from your hotel in the south, take you up there for two dives and lunch, and bring you back again. Alternatively, if you have your own transport (allow about three hours to drive up there) I'd...
