Hi Guys,
After great inputs for my questions, we decided to go for Bali this time instead of Sipadan. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ge...iday-choosing-between-bali-mabul-sipadan.html
But I still need help in choosing places to stay and good dive operators. Please point me to any links,info, website that can help answer some of these questions
Quick Background:
Dive Holiday: June 3rd week, 6-7 days excluding travel
Experience: I'm AOW with just 20 dives and wife (non-swimmer) has done only Introductory dives (DSDs) and snorkeling. Also we could have a friend who has just completed OW course with 4 dives (newbie)
Here are my questions
1)I want to split my stay between 2 places (Tulamben, candi dasa, nusa lembognan etc), what do you suggest and also let me know the dive sites around these places
2) I want to share 2-3 dives with my wife when she does her DSD (must be below 12 meters i think and will need an instructor or DM). Is that possible?
3) Which areas have currents (strong or medium) Tulamben, Candi Dasa, PadanBai, Amed in Bali
4) Where can I do a drift dive and which dive center should I choose?
5) I heard that there are strong/unpredictable currents in most dive sites around nusa longanan or nusa cenigan or nusa penida. So Can I dive at Manta point for a chance to see Mantas?
6) Around these islands, Are there any safe dive sites for my wife to do DSD or snorkeling in shallow but clear waters
7) Which is best and professional dive operator in nusa lembognan or nusa cenignan?
Thanks for all the help!
