Dive trip to Bali
Bali is one of those tropical paradises most people only dream of visiting. Beautiful white sand beaches, clear water, lovely and warm, and for us scuba divers, some amazing marine life, and pristine coral.
The underwater adventures dive club has a trip running in September 2022, this was postponed from this year due to Covid as so many things have been. But because of the postponement, we have been given an offer of an even better route than normal so that instead of turning around halfway through our trip to head back to Bali, we can carry on to the Island of Maumere which will give us the opportunity to dive reefs which are not normally on the dive boat schedules and as such will be less disturbed and even more pristine and in great condition then you would expect from a dive trip.
As well as the amazing sights we will get to see underwater, we will also have the chance to land on Komodo Island and walk with the Komodo dragons, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone would look forward to, the chance to walk with Dragons.
So why not treat yourself and join this amazing dive trip to the paradise of Bali, walk with Dragons, and dive the amazing reef systems this underwater wonderland has to offer
Just get in contact with us to book, but we only have 5 spots left so please don’t hang around and miss out
