Scuba Diving
Bali offers a massive variety of diving options, with huge coral bommies, virgin reefs and steep drop-offs. Night diving is exceptional, with extraordinary crabs and Spanish dancers making regular appearances. The season is year round, with April to December bringing some of the best conditions. Expect 45-metre visibility and 26C waters.
A two-hour flight north of Bali is the Wakatobi National Park. Located within the bio-diverse ‘Wallacea’ region; this archipelago of stunning islands lies just off the tip of Sulawesi, in the Banda Sea. Expect to see bumphead parrotfish, massive gorgonian fans and pygmy seahorses. Water temperatures can reach 30C here in October.
Boasting the biggest marine diversity on the planet, the Raja Ampat archipelago (eastern Indonesia) is an underwater heaven just off the coast of west Papua; awesome underwater topography, over 1000 different fish species and 75 per cent of all known corals in the world lie below.
