I have to 100% recommend diving in Perth at Rottnest Island. If you're planning to come in late April, that's around the best time of the year to dive in Perth. The water temperature is actually warmer in late autumn/early winter, than it is in the middle of summer. Also the sea conditions and...

Thanks for sharing 🙏

That's a highly misinformed statement. Makes me think if you've actually dived at Nusa Penida before, or had a bad experience there. The scuba diving business there, hosts thousands and thousands of divers each year, a lot of them with less than 30 dives. And thank god, the overwhelming...

Yes, also internet accessibility, and networking between dive operators has improved, so as to plan dive trips around the tides and dive conditions. A lot of divers with <20 dives go Mola hunting down the slope, they're usually low on air earlier. But dive operators group divers reasonably...

If Crystal Bay isn't a place for the beginners/inexperienced, then why would dive shops in Nusa Lembongan & Nusa Penida regularly do open water & advanced OW courses there if it was so dangerous? Also DSD's regularly done at Crystal Bay. And all those reports you linked are from 1 or 2 decades...

Hey Dan 👋 😃 . I've done a lot of dives at Crystal Bay, I think around the 50-ish mark. A lot of the daily dives there, probably +100 divers during peak season, are OW divers, so they aren't even going down the slope at 30m looking for Mola Mola, thus not encountering ripping down current. And...

That's so interesting, I'd be keen to dive it, with a 5mm and thermals of course 😃👌🏼

Was this dive in Bali? And was it a thermocline you encountered, or the dive was 19°C? Because if so, a 19°C dive in February at Bali is 7-10°C colder than the average temperature of all Bali dive sites in February, including Padang Bai and Nusa Penida. You could ask every dive shop in Bali...

I kindly disagree 😊🙏 Penida/Lembongan arent "washing machines". Most of the sites are drift dives, the majority ranging from gentle to medium. But that in by no means, that every dive there is a "washing machine". Not even Komodo deserves the title of "washing machine". I often see families...

Yeah I remember, it was raining pretty much over entire Indo for that period, the year before last, especially in Bali, which is not uncommon for musim hujan. Even in October that year, the water had already gone warm at Nusa Penida not that far into the month. But I think 2024 is going to be...

Yes, so light rain for 45 minutes is proof that the weather has changed this monsoonal season in Bali, along with the lower water temperature. Everywhere I go, the locals and expats are telling me no rubbish/plastic has invaded Bali this season, so far. Whereas I clearly remember a dive at...

I've never had a 22°C dive in Bali in any January's over past several years,... maybe at Manta Point but I don't think so

It's musim panas/hujan in Bali now, hot/rainy season. Thailand and Philippines is "winter" now. But the weather in Southern Bali, this December and January has been awesome, hardly any rainy days, perfect beach weather. Which is very unusual for this time of the year. This is why I'm...

I don't know anything about anything,...but in order to make sense and agree with the modern narrative on this subject...if reef fish were to disappear, it could only be 2 reasons... CLIMATE CHANGE OR COVID.

Nusa Penida would be closest to Raja Ampat in terms of quality of diving. One thing that you won't be able to do from mainland Bali is night dives at Nusa Penida, you can only do that from the Nusa Islands. Getting around to dive sites on a boat at Nusa Penida is always great looking at the...

Lol ☺️, in Australia some of the best, if not the best eating fish, are the reef species Ikan kerapu or coral grouper/trout, is one of the best tasting fish in Australia, around 700,000rp a kg, or 1 million rp per fish. In Indonesia it's around 50,000rp for a decent sized fish. Sorry, I'm not...
