Amongst the best dive spots around Bali are the channels separating 3 offshore islands lying between Bali and Lombok: Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. Strong currents flowing through the Lombok Strait bring rich nutrients, and amongst the more iconic visitors are the bizarre looking, giant Mola Mola (sunfish) and manta rays.

The reefs of the Raja Ampat are specifically referred to as ‘species factories’, replenishing other reef ecosystems by sweeping coral larvae across the Indian and Pacific Oceans via their strong currents. In the general area surrounding Pulau Pef, it is possible to experience a myriad of dive sites, where you could encounter almost everything underwater - a staggering variety of habitats and experiences.

This is a trip all about scenery and enjoying the idyllic village pace of three distinct Indonesian islands, Bali, Java, and Madura.

Few areas in Asia can match the cultural and natural diversity to be found following the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands east of Bali.
