Top five things to do in Bali on a diving holiday

As a diver, you'll likely want to spend as much time as possible underwater during a trip. But you would be missing an amazing opportunity if you visit Bali and don’t make time to explore some of the island’s other attractions.

Best dive sites in Bali

Bali is Indonesia’s tourism hotspot, and was amongst the first of the country’s islands to be explored beneath the waves. Yet even as divers venture ever deeper to explore Indonesia’s remote regions, Bali remains top of the list for many divers. And for good reason. Believe it or not, Bali is actually one of the country’s most diverse diving destinations - one of the reasons why ZuBlu made Bali its “home away from home”, with many of our team living, working, and diving from these sensational shores on a daily basis. The island is home to a huge variety of dive sites, including flourishing reefs, wrecks, plummeting walls, and mucky slopes. Plus it attracts some of the planet’s most fascinating underwater marine life, including pelagics like manta rays and mola mola. In fact, in almost all of Bali’s diving destinations, you’ll find a site that can rightly claim a spot among Indonesia’s very best. Read on to discover Bali’s very best dive spots, with a list of world-class sites chosen by ZuBlu’s team of resident travel experts.
