Best of Bali Dive Safari
Overview | 13 Days | 8 Days | 7 Days
This Best of Bali Dive Safari will give divers exactly what the name suggests: a tour of the best dive sites in the beautiful island of Bali. You will experience stunning wall diving at Menjangan Island in the northwest; search for weird and wonderful critters muck diving at Secret Bay in Gilimanuk and Puri Jati in the north; as well as dive the unforgettable USAT Liberty Shipwreck and surrounding sites at Tulamben Bay in the northeast.
Heading south we’ll take you for some calm and relaxing reef diving in Amed before gearing up to the exciting and rarely dived site of Gili Selang and the rich reefs of Gili Biaha.
Our next stop is the current-swept islands of Mimpang and Tepekong where divers have a high chance of an encounter with reef sharks, followed by some exhilarating drift diving in Nusa Penida and an opportunity to watch the graceful manta rays at Manta Point.
Between the months of July and November, we also have the chance to see the amazing Mola Mola (ocean sunfish).
We know that Bali has as much to offer topside as it does underwater so time has also been built in for some sightseeing to experience Bali’s beautiful landscapes and intriguing culture.
Your transfer to the northwest will take you through the mountains to Bedugal traditional market and along the lake road towards the north coast of Bali.
En route to Candidasa from Tulamben you will visit the lovely water palace of Tirtagangga and the traditional village of Tenganan.
Your final day will be spent in Ubud, the cultural centre of Bali.

Nothing has been included ‘for the sake of it’. At these sites you’ll see fantastic hard and soft corals, great density and diversity of marine life – from large pelagics such as Manta rays and Mola-Mola (Ocean Sunfish) in season, to the tiniest juveniles and pygmy seahorses. The pre-planned timing of dives ensures you’ll see the maximum possible with the best conditions (as far as we can predict conditions!). Resorts have been chosen for ambience, location, facilities and value for money.
