Bali & Lombok

Off the southeastern tip of Java lie the magical islands of Bali and Lombok. Impressive wrecks, dramatic walls and drop-offs, and large pelagics are all in a day’s dive here. From the ribbon eels and gently sloping coral gardens of Paradise Reef, to the muck dives in Secret Bay’s shallow, volcanic basin, exploring the coastlines of these smaller islets offers something for every level of diver.

The island of Bali “The Island of the Gods” is the best known of the Indonesian islands.
