We at AquaMarine Diving – Bali created this ‘13D/12N - 27 dives - Best of Bali Dive Safari 2016’ exactly as we would wish a “full circle” Safari to be created for us if we were visiting Bali as scuba-divers. The itinerary includes both shore- and boat-diving, and encompasses a wide variety of dives: walls, muck, wrecks, reefs, drifts, with opportunities for macro and wide-angle photography. 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 marinelife – 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.
