About Bali

The much-lauded Dewata Island is one of the best tourist spots in the whole world, offering a plethora of exciting activities, from the culinary to the diving Bali. With all the tourism potentials, it’s no surprise that Bali attracts tourists from all over the world, including those of European or American. Although Bali is an island with a smaller size compared to the other islands in Indonesia, it is a place abundant with the aforementioned tourism potentials. Unique and intriguing landmarks can always be found in Bali, making it one of the independent provinces in Indonesia that contributes to the nation’s income based on the tourism sector. Because of that, access to Bali is extremely diverse regardless of where the tourists are coming from. Foreigner or domestic tourists located quite far away from the island can take a flight to the island. If you do, you’ll land in Ngurah Rai Airport and be able to start the journey to Kuta and Seminyak easily. On the other hand, if you travel on the bus, the journey will have to continue on a ferry. Most of the time, the ferry will sail from Banyuwangi, specifically from Ketapang to Gilimanuk. Once you’ve reached Gilimanuk, the journey will continue on the bus for approximately 6 hours until you’ve arrived in Kuta. In general, Bali can be separated into several areas based on tourism potential alone. Firsts are the city parts such as Kuta and Seminyak, which also happens to be very close to the beaches and several entertainment spots. Next is the mountainous area that spans from the center to the northern part of the island, perfect for relaxation and adventure to your heart’s content. Lastly is the tip of the iceberg: the beach area that’s spread a long way to the west or around Nusa Penida. Here, you can enjoy a large variety of watersports such as swimming, snorkeling, speed boating, to diving in Bali. If you aim for this kind of experience, the best time to visit Bali would be during summer in the middle of the year to help make the journey easier.

There are different types of manta ray and flatfish swimming around the shallow and calm water. Considering all of those factors, it’s safe to say that diving in Bali is a divine experience if you’re experienced in it.
