Bali Diving

Where is the nearest re-compression chamber?

Two in Bali. Would take several hours to get there from Lombok, but close to Tulamben, from Lembongan it's a 30 minute boat trip to Sanur.

Just thought I would add these words in from Jay @ Wild Scuba Lombok He wrote this a couple of days after we departed. We had those swells and currents on our dives. Was pretty wicked diving. Oh yeah and watch out for half tonne boulders being washed about near the cave wall dropping from above.

Diving the ‘Manta Pot’ can sometimes be pretty gnarly when there’s swell and currents!!!

The briefing could be..”get swept in, avoid everything solid, hide from the torrent (but not in the cave with all the sharks and Jenkins rays )and then get jet washed out again between all the boulders in the washing machine!”
It’s what makes this dive site so special and exciting and it’s definitely worth it.
The mantas do the same (although admittedly much better

),they’re curious and it really is unlike most manta dives you’ll ever do…especially because you’re the only divers there!

Yesterday was a particularly powerful day, but reversing out through 20+ mantas is something you’ll just never ever forget!

stop";
5. Penetration dives are carried out within the confines of the light space (light

Allows deeper than 40m for recreational technical diving but then no deco? lol You don't get much time below 40m on 21% before exceeding NDL limits. So what does the Indonesian government determine recreational technical diving to mean?
Was offered 32% at Matahari in Tulamben. Lombok and Lembongan was only 21%

What does paragraph 6 mean?

Not much of the Liberty Wreck left to do a penetration swim though. None of my dives exceeded NDL on my Perdix although one diver did exceed NDL on his DC on the same dive to take photos of the pigmy sea horse near Liberty Wreck site.
