Hello,
I'm hoping to do my Open Water certificate in Bali and then a few more dives or the AW cert at either the same location or somewhere else in Bali and I'm finding it hard to work out the best location for a beginner. If I only do the Open Water certificate then I guess I'll have less diving options as I'll be restricted to 18m so that's something to keep in mind.
It seems like the best spots for a beginner are Tulamben or Nusa Lembongan (it sounds like this might be harder/less appropriate for a beginner?) but I've also read about Padang Bai being good too. If anyone has some recommendations that would be fantastic. I've read a lot of the posts here recommending these companies Liberty Dive Resort, 2Fish, Lembongan Dive Centre, Matahari, and Geko Dive in Padang Bai but if anyone else has any recommendations that would be fantastic!
We're planning to do a week surf course in Padang Padang and spend about 5 weeks in total in Indonesia but we're not sure where else we'll go.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
Bec
