We dove at Nusa Penida in early September and it was cold... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! We dove in 5mm with 3/5 hooded vests underneath! It was worth it though because we saw 5 mola molas! Awesome!I will be going to Bali in the second part of August, if anyone has been there can you please advise on:
- good diving center that can arrange pickups in Kuta (I would probably dive for 3 full days not more, and probably won't be interested in Safari - yet who knows)
- what wetsuit is recommended and what is the sea temperature (I have two-part 5 mm and my girlfriend 5mm)
- is it usual practice to leave equipment in diving center and how safe it is (I am planning to bring my own equipment)
Thanks in advance

Don't worry ! give it 3 more years and you will be in your dry suit and you will always be nice and warm
Ubud is about 1 hours from Padang Bai which is where most of the dive boats leave from, for areas like Nusa Penida (Manta Point/Crystal Bay etc), Tepekong, Mimpang, Gili Biaha or the local diving around Blue Lagoon area.Question: can you get a days diving travelling from Ubud? where to go??
