Bali diving

I left less than a week ago and I al ready miss it I haven't missed a place like this since I left Hawaii.  Bali ocean like Hawaii is super clean and as a added bonus in most places also very warm so no need to freeze your ass off to go diving.  the other thing that is simalar to Hawaii Great diving Bali has a few places with outstanding shore diving with the best of course the Tulamben Wreck and all the dive spots around it.  Rickardo the oner of Ocean Sun Tulamben, who we have been diving with for 3 years now, says that he wishes sometimes that the wreck wasn't there as it brings too many divers for just this famous wreck and most of them are unaware of all the great diving that is all around it.

Something we have talked a bit about is that the Tulamben wreck gets all of these divers who drive up for the day from Sanur beach, Kuta Legion Seminyak and Nusa Dua and they miss all of the other great diving and they get on the wreck with 100 other divers at the same time why?  If you are going to be diving Bali go there to Tulamben and stay for a few days and really get to know the wreck when ther is no one on it and when the fish aren't spooked and hiding!

You can stay at Safty stop for $30 a night very comfortable.  Ricardo has rooms for $10 that are simple but large airy and comfortable or you can stay at Soria Resort for a few dollars and get 5 star accommodations at 3 star rates. 

I met a couple from St. Augustine Florida and they were doing exacally as I suggested for under $100 a day for the two of them they were enjoying great food a nice budget accommodation with lots of hotel amenities and really cheap dives as they were leading themselves and just paying for tanks and portage. 

This couple from St Augustine were underwater photographers and they could go as fast or slow as they liked and became experts on the reefs and the wreck and also had Ricardo organize trips to other places like the great drift dives of Nusa Penita and all of the Amed dives including the JAva Wreck in Amed and
