The Bali Diving Safari chooses the best sites at the north of the island during the 4 stages. During your safari you will discover a variety of dives rarely seen at other destinations. Magnificent coral reefs, black sands with rare fauna and fish life, drop offs and wrecks, it's all here. Frogfish, glass catfish, pegasus fish, leaf fish, nudibranches, seahorses, schools of butterfly fish, jacks, snapper and barracuda. White tip reef sharks, carpet sharks, mantas and, from August to October, the famous giant ocean sun fish.
A few of the dives can be done from the shoreline, but generally speaking the diving is conducted from Abyss World's Catamaran recently completed in Benoa Harbor Bali. This 13m fibreglass catamaran accommodates 16 divers, 2 crew and 3 dive guides. She is powered by 4 X 200hp Yamaha outboard engines and features an open flybridge with seating, a Nitrox membrane compressor and a dive tender. A big rack for individual tanks and storage is available. The catamaran cruises comfortably at 20 knots with a top speed of 30 knots. For safety, there is a GPS, radar, sounder, full safety inventory, a first aid kit, oxygen kit, life jackets and 2 life rafts. This vessel allows us to access the best spots quickly and comfortably.
Transport is organised in an air-conditioned mini bus during the entire safari. This is the best way to tour the entire island and the bus is at the divers' entire disposal for the whole trip for those wishing to do any side trips. The choice really is endless, dive gear and luggage are transported by a separate vehicle.
The choice of hotels during the diving safari is based on our perception of a dive trip: charm and conviviality are more important than luxury. Accommodation choices offer you all the necessary comforts, however preference is given to the scenery, quality of service and optimal location relating to the dive sites visited on your excursions.
The principal activity on your diving safari will of course be a selection of fantastic dives. Having said that, it is also our pleasure to help you discover many areas of the island, the Balinese and their culture.
