While not universally known for its diving, Bali has plenty to offer the travelling diver. While the majority of divers are in Bali on stop overs for more exciting locations throughout the Indonesian archipelago, a number of sites offer some interesting areas of diversity.
Heading up to Tulamben is well worth the drive for the fabulous Liberty wreck, likewise, just nearby is Tulamben Wall. Not far from Tulumben is Amed, a great place to stay with plenty of dive opportunities, small guest houses and accommodation and great restaurants. For me, my favourite choice of dive sits is Menjangan Island on Bali's north west coast, less frequently dived due to its long trip from Kuta, this excellent site is mostly overlooked by the crowds.
A boat trip allows divers to access the waters around Nusa Penida, this area is known for drift diving due to its ripping currents, Mola Mola are sighted in this area during distinctive seasons and well worth a look. I don't care much for diving around Nusa Dua, this shallow water region is located close to the five star resorts of Bali and is outrageously expensive for a mediocre dive in warm water - best to avoid.
