Liberty Dive Resort Dive Resort Review by Canadian Diver

Objectively, Liberty Dive Resort offers truly great value for the price. I stayed with them for three nights in 2011, and was highly impressed with the value that I received.

The room, and the resort in general, were both clean and well maintained. The rinse area is not ideal, but the rinse tanks are looked after and there is a hose to rinse out your items. I did not use the resort pool, or take advantage of any of the "spa" type services, so cannot comment on these. Instead, my focus was on the diving, and Liberty Dive Resort delivered. Everything that I asked to do was arranged, and arranged well - all of the diving, at the dive sites and times I wanted.

Due to the resorts location, you can dive the Liberty Wreck with ease - which is truly ideal, as this is the most popular site in the area. In order to dive many of the other sites, the resort arranges transport (short drives, under 15 minutes) for you and your gear.

The divemaster I dove with was professional, and well trained at finding the small critters I was interested in seeing. He showed me tons of nudibranchs, ghost pipefish, sawblade shrimp, etc. He was also able advise on the correct time of day to go to the Liberty Wreck and look for the schooling jackfish - which delivered. Being surrounded by that school was a great experience, that Liberty Dive arranged.

I ate all of my meals at the resort restaurant, and have no complaints. I enjoyed the Indonesian food they served, and don't demand a great deal of variety (and I am not sure there was much) as long as the food is good - and it was.

Overall - great value for money. This is a resort I would recommend.
