Some questions about diving in Bali

[Warmwater Wank]

MichB--My opinion on Amed is...how come I'm not back there diving it as well?? Our guide Eri from TWD mentioned it is slightly cooler water at Amed (so it was "only" 81/82F!), which changes the fish & coral scene a bit from Tulamben. It's maybe a 30-40 minute drive from Tulamben and very scenic along the coast. The coral at 35-45' near the small Japanese wreck was spectacular, same for fish & critter variety. The OP will have a tough time deciding with only 4 days in the area! // ww

Thanks for all the great replies folks. SB is surely one of the nicest communities on the web. =)

Nwflyboy, thanks for the very cool pictures.

and Blue Season Bali, both myself and my wife are AOW certified, so that should be okay =)

I dont have a lot of time right now to fire off some more questions, but anyone with tips and comments, rest assured I will be checking this thread often.

THANKS AGAIN!

Hi,

There is lots of dive possibilities in Bali, the chances to see Manta are great I would say more than 90 % but for the mola mola it is an other story. You need cold upwells from the depth to see the mola so if the water is warm at the time you dive your chances will highly decrease. The dives in Nusa Penida are quite demanding, the water is quite cold and the currents strong. Tulamben area offers much more relaxing dives.

If you are not advanced diver, so chances to see a Mola are very low I would say.

I use to dive with company called diveconcepts in Tulamben they organise also mola mola trips, check it out.

So many suggestions and input for your trip, and I'm sure they want to impress your journey as expected. October is the beginning of the rainy season in Bali, and water conditions slightly choppy when diving in locations sunfish. For me all dive sites in Bali are excellent and character depending on what you want to explore. Enjoy your time as you are here.
