    Looking for advice - staying in Jalan Seririt and Nusa Dua

    Before considering going to Nusa Penida, make sure you check the conditions in the days before regarding Manta Point specifically.

    Amed and Tulamben - Trip Report

    This is actually a standard procedure for the shore dives in Bali, at least from our standards. Eventually, depending on the water conditions ( waves specially ) equipment can always be put on and off on the surface.

    Geko is there and we're here too :-) Well, planning is definitely most important for Bali. If you're looking at a couple of days of diving, I think you should be staying in the south, preferably Sanur for the best logistics. This way you're not only minimising transfer times for the dive...

    Web bag for SMB?

    We've been looking for separate bags for SMB's for quiet a while and unfortunately we couldn't find them available without the actual SMB's.
