Bali History Scuba Diving: Grow after Independence Day

Bali History Scuba Diving

Bali is one of the islands in the Indonesian region, and it is famous for how beautiful its nature is. The people who have always lived on Bali are called Balinese, and they have a long and interesting past. Bali has gone through a lot of changes over the course of its past, from being ruled by the Dutch to becoming independent in 1945. After becoming independent, Bali has continued to grow and is now one of the most popular places for tourists to visit.

Bali History Scuba Diving

Bali is an island that attracts tourists from all over the world because of its beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and rich culture. Bali has been a famous place for both domestic and international tourists to visit since the 1970s. Tourists like to go to places like Kuta Beach, Ubud, and Seminyak. Bali’s unique culture and customs, such as dances and religious ceremonies, continue to draw in tourists.

Jacques Cousteau and Emile Gagnan were the first people in the world to try scuba diving. This was in 1943. They made diving gear that made it easy and safe for divers to breathe underwater. Since then, scuba diving has grown in popularity all over the world. People can see underwater beauty they have never seen before when they dive.

Bali History Scuba Diving

In Bali, the business of scuba diving began to grow in the 1980s. Bali Diving, also known as Bali Sunfish Safaris, was one of the first companies to help make sure that scuba diving in Bali would be able to keep going for a long time. They were one of the first companies to offer scuba diving tours in Bali, and their trips were memorable. They offer many beautiful and interesting places to dive in Bali, such as the waters around Menjangan Island and Nusa Penida.

From August to October is the best time to scuba dive in Bali. During this time, the sea is calmer and the water is clearer, which makes diving a more fun experience. Also, this is the best time to see the many different kinds of sea life, like the rare and amazing mola-mola fish.

The sunfish, which is another name for the mola-mola fish, is one of the most unusual and unique fish in the world. This fish has a strange shape: its body is flat, but its head is big. Mola-mola can get very big, and some of them can weigh more than 1,000 kilos. Divers are interested in seeing this fish because it looks so strange and is so big. Mola-mola fish can be found in the seas of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, both of which are dive spots in Bali.

This dive was the experience of a lifetime! Sensational coral, colourful fishes everywhere and a shipwreck to explore. Ketut my dive master was exceptional and helped me so much. Bail Diving went above and beyond. Tulumben is such a cool place to be. I highly recommend this as a ‘Must Do’ dive.

Had a really great first diving experience. Chris is the BEST! Never left my side, always made sure that I’m fine and was so patient and considerate. I felt comfortable and safe all the time. My boyfriend didn’t feel good at the beginning. Chris tried to make him feel better and brought him back to the shore with me as he wanted to quit. Our driver Putu was also super kind and funny. Would definitely recommend Bali Diving to everyone. Especially for first time divers like me. Thank you!!

Amazing experience, staff are very friendly and helpful, they pointed out different locations and beaches along the way and answered any questions we had.I loved how small the group was, it didn’t feel like a big tourist thing, it felt intimate. The Snorkel instructor pointed out lots of turtles and other sea life.We were lucky enough to see 4 Manta Rays. Best experience of my life!It is a big day, so pack extra snacks for yourself, extra warm clothes and extra sunscreen.We will defiantly be doing this again.

The couches are super friendly and helpful. Very convenient for pick up and drop off service. You should all try and ask them for renting a GoPro to record this amazing experience. Will sure to go back.

These are the best people ever. Every single person who works here is not only kind but knowledgeable and helpful beyond belief. I couldn’t be happier with my first week in Bali and it is all thanks to Bali diving. I got my open water and advanced in the time I asked for, and made many friends in the process - I cannot say enough about how lovely the entire crew is. If you are considering which dive shop to do, go here, they will take the best care of you. I only wish I could dive with them for longer!! Also their cat is cute, bonus.

Went diving with my wife with this dive school. We went to Nusa Pelida to Manta Point, and two points up north.Our guide, Agus, was extremely professional and thoughtful of us and took good care guiding my partner in these waters as currents can be very strong. Honestly, this was among the best diving I've done in my life.We saw manta rays, giant turtles, and a ton of fish. We even had to hold on to rocks as the current got so strong that we were waving like flags hanging onto these rocks.At all times we felt safe as Agus was extremely knowledgeable of these waters and had a good eye on us.Lunch on the boat was simple and wonderful.Thank you so much guys for giving us this wonderful diving experience. Next time I'm in Bali, i'll be sure to visit you again.

Amazing!I had my diving course and did my first dive with Bali Diving. At first, I learned it in the swimming pool, then to Padang Bai, and Tulamben (USAT Liberty Shipwreck). And it's so much fun!As someone with zero diving experience, the explanation from the dive instructor, Bli Ketut Latra, was very clear and easy to understand. Whenever I felt nervous, he could calm me down and made me excited to master the diving skills. Bli Ketut was also fun to talk with during the trip. He is the best!The staff from Bali Diving are also very friendly and helpful. They have diving masks for people with glasses (my eyes are -4). And at that time I was able to use it at no extra cost! However, there was additional cost for the diving documentation.During the diving course, everything had been prepared: transportation, diving equipment, lunch. I just needed to bring a towel and sunscreen.Anyway, I highly recommend Bali Diving for anyone who wants to learn or try diving.Thank you, Bali Diving!

Very friendly staff and professional team. I had not dived for 22 years and was well looked after by Ketut on staff during two dives on the USAT Liberty Wreck..
