Bali in a nutshell
The volcanic island of Bali in the Indonesian archipelago is also called “the island of the gods”, however some divers like to refer to Bali as “the underwater jewel of south-east Asia”.
With its emerald green landscapes, turquoise waters and black sand beaches, due to its position between two oceans, Bali belongs to one of the world’s richest marine environments. Warm tropical waters in the north and cooler waters in the south mix in the seas around the island creating a diversity of more than 2500 different fish species and 80 different coral genera, not even mentioning the variety of invertebrate marine life. Divers will see species they have never encountered before. Barrier reefs, walls, sloping reefs, offshore rocks and a world famous wreck all contributes to the diversity of this unique and breathtaking place.
Besides the outstanding diving, Bali also offers a unique mix of nature, culture and adventure. This Hindu enclave with its famous temples, stunning rice fields, superb cuisine and its relaxing atmosphere will make everyone feel at home right away.
Local diving
Every year in the second half of the dry monsoon (August to October) there is an upwelling of cold, plankton rich water in the Badung and Lombok Straits which attracts pelagic species such as Mola mola (ocean sunfish) and thresher sharks.
There is of course no guarantee of seeing the above mentioned marine life but by reducing the amount of noisy bubbles under water you increase your chances of experiencing a breathtaking encounter with these creatures.
