• There are few places that offer as much as Bali, both in diving and as a holiday destination. Healthy reefs teeming with life, wrecks, underwater canyons, caves, deep walls and world class muck diving.
• Water temperature around Bali is a balmy 26 to 29 degrees Celsius. With the exceptions of deep waters of Lombok Strait and Nusa Penida in some months of south-east monsoon where currents can bring up cold waters from depths cooling it in some places to as low as 19 degrees.
• The visibility in the rainy season (November – April) is between 10 and 15 meters.
• Dry season produces visibility of around 30 meters and in the northern part of the island at the Menjangan Island visibility up to 50 meters is quite common.
• Finally it all depends of where we dive. There are places on the island where we can enjoy good visibility throughout the whole year.
• Definitely the best time to dive Bali is during the south-east monsoon (May – November) but good diving conditions are found all the year.
• Candidasa lays at the heart of the Lombok Strait the first deep water trench directly to the east of Asian continental shelf.
• Through this channel flows the greatest volume of tidal waters on earth.
• This can create some powerful currents that characterise some of these dive sites.
• It also means regular visits of large and unusual pelagic fishes like Mola Mola and the biggest numbers of sharks in all Bali waters.
• These strong currents can also clear up the water and create fantastic visibility.
• From tranquil waters of Tulamben and Amed to some real gems of macro dives in Secret Bay, PJ and Seraya Secret.
