As we move from Bali to Manado, it’s the perfect time to recap dive travel to Bali through underwater photos.
While there are many diving hotspots in Bali, we visited the two most renowned: Tulamben and Candidasa. Tulamben is your home base for diving the Liberty Wreck, Seraya Secrets, Drop Off and many other great macro & wide-angle sites, while Candidasa is a great home base for mixing diving with topside activities. Padang Bai harbor is 15 minutes from Candidasa, providing access to Nusa Penida (Manta Point, Crystal Bay), the Gili Islands and several other great dive sites.
Bali is great for all divers, whether staying at a single resort or visiting two or even three different dive areas. Bluewater Travel knows all the details, so make sure to contact us to help book the perfect Bali dive trip.
All photos below shot with the Aquatica 5D Mark 3 Housing. Make sure to check out our manta, shark and other video posts filmed with I-Torch’s new Venom 38 video lights.
