Bali
The island of Bali is very touristy and many reefs near the coast are ruined. The dive spots which lie further out to sea will enchant even the most spoilt diver.

About Bali
Bali is – in contrast to the rest of Indonesia – predominantly Hindu. The Balinese culture has therefore its own special character. Dance and music are important, in both daily and spiritual life. The Balinese are creative and stay busy by painting, sewing, woodwork and making jewellery. The island has been a tourist destination for decades. Not strange given all the beautiful beaches, the graceful terraced rice paddies (sawas), the powerful volcanoes, the thousands of Balinese temples and, not to forget, the Balinese cuisine. Most of the tourists come from Australia (nearby) or The Netherlands (colonial past).
A lot of damage
Tourism hasn’t just brought Bali positive things. The area Kuta has become a large carnival. The Balinese culture has given way to bars, nightclubs and a lot of drunken people. In the 1980s, in the once idyllic fishing village and beach resort, Canidasa, it was decided to blow up the reef. The coral was used as cement for new hotels. As a result of this distressing decision the beach threatened to be washed away. To protect the coastline cement blocks were placed in the sea. It is a crying shame: on the once beautiful beach you cut your feet on the remains of the once glorious reef. The terrorist attacks in 2002 (Kuta) and 2005 (Jimbaran Beach and Kuta) did not help the image of this otherwise idyllic island.
Diving Bali
Around Bali you will find a number of outstanding dive spots, where you will come across pretty much all the classical coral fish, such as parrot fish, wrasse, lionfish and moray eels. Additionally you will encounter many pelagic fish such as barracuda, tuna and sharks. These unbelievable dive spots are spread around the island and often a way out from the coast. If you want to do some really good diving on Bali, then it is best to do a live aboard or a dive safari.
Bali summary
The holiday and party atmosphere on the island will not be every diver’s cup of tea. However, if you spend whole days on the boat, then you need only experience the sumptuous marine life.
