ScubaSeanMaui: The good diving is on the northeast coast at Nusa Penida, Padang Bai, and Tulamben.
I would go with the above suggestion as you only have 7days in Bali. Menjangan Island, unless you pretty much confined yourselves to only diving there, is just a bit too far.
You said you will have pre-set resorts but it doesn't sound like you've chosen them yet? If that is the case, I'd suggest you book somewhere on the east coast, maybe Alila Manggis or Nirwana Cottages or The Watergarden (latter two in Candidasa, Alila is just outside) from where it's only 1hr to Tulamben so poss to night-dive, and only 10min from Padangbai from where you can dive outside Padangbai/Candidasa and over at Nusa Penida/Lembongan inc Manta Point.
If you need feedback on other resorts that are available to you, let me know.
And if you decide to do NW Bali (ie for Menjangan) and would like feedback on resorts there, again let me know.
In Lombok: actually on the island of Lombok I'd go with Dive Zone.
And on the Gili islands (tiny, just off the NW point) I'd go with Manta Dive.
Hope that's useful.
