I am traveling to Bali on mid May for less than 2 weeks. I am going to spend about 5 full days for diving(Including transit... it can be 7 days.).
I've done diving around 30 times in sipadan, boracai in philippines, red sea(around dahap), turkey, utila in Honduras. But the last diving was already 6 years ago. So I need to start from easier spot to get used to.
I'm thinking one of these..
1. only in Bali (Tulamben, Menjangen, Nusa Penida for 3 days)
2. Bali and Gili islands (some of above and Gili islands for 2-3 days)
3. Komodo (land based resort for 5 days)
4. Alor (land based resort for 5 days)
We are budget travelers, so I also think about the cost.
It seems the diving cost is more less same (2-300 EURO for 10 dives including equipments) for all of those areas. But for Komodo and Alor, I have to fly to there so it will cost 2-300EURO more.
It is not a season for mola mola in Bali, so I think that the diving in Bali or Lombok may be much less exciting than Komodo or Alor... But also I cannot decide between Komodo and Alor.
By the way, can you guys also recommend some dive shops/resorts which are inexpensive but reliable in those area?
