New Year in Bali: A Scuba Diving Adventure

Bali is one of the most popular destinations in Asia to celebrate the New Year, and an exquisite way to ring in the New Year is by engaging in the thrilling activity of scuba diving.

Why Scuba Diving is Better than Fireworks Parties?

While fireworks and parties are common ways to celebrate the New Year, scuba diving offers a unique and serene experience that allows you to welcome the New Year in harmony with nature. It’s a chance to create unforgettable memories while exploring the underwater world.

The Benefits of Scuba Diving

Scuba diving not only provides an exhilarating experience, but it also offers numerous health benefits. It can reduce stress, improve blood circulation, and increase strength and flexibility. Additionally, the feeling of weightlessness underwater can be incredibly calming and therapeutic.

Diving Spots in Bali

Bali is renowned for its stunning diving spots, including Padang Bai, Tulamben, Amed, Manta Point, and Nusa Penida. Each of these spots offers a unique underwater landscape and diverse marine life, making Bali a paradise for scuba diving enthusiasts.

Tips for a Successful Scuba Diving Experience with Bali Diving

Ensure that you are physically fit and mentally prepared for the dive. Follow the instructions of your diving instructor carefully.
Double-check your diving gear to ensure everything is in proper working condition. Respect the marine life and environment by not touching or disturbing anything underwater.
Always dive within your limits and never push yourself beyond your capabilities.

With its captivating underwater world and abundance of marine life, Bali is undeniably a top destination for a memorable and adventurous New Year’s scuba diving experience.

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.. I had a fantastic experience and will be back to dive with this centre again. The equipment was suitable and it was great to be back under water again! Thank you and Mkasih banyak. Mantul!!
