Stayed at Scuba Serya (up by the liberty wreck). Minimal currents and good vix (just how I like it). Photos here:

a little disappointed with the amount of macro (I think maybe all the small creatures had moved away) Only one pygme seahorse in the area (the guide said there used to be many) so I was careful not to stress him too much with my flash. Saw some nice ghost pipe fish. Enjoyed watching the schooling fish and newbie divers at the liberty wreck.

We liked diving in Bali a lot. Mola Mola, muck diving, wreck diving, nice reefs, they seem to have it all. And all at very acceptable prices.

Fantastic location - definitely going back sometime - watch out for the strong down currents - diving with Bali International Diving Professionals and would have no problem recommending them to anyone - amazing range of reef species

freezing cold water and VERY strong currents made for some challenging drift diving, fighting to keep one's regulator in one's mouth...
... but the reward was an encounter with Mola Mola, sunfish, which was absolutely worth it!!

Bali is surprisingly in fantastic shape with lots of pristine coral and some great coral gardens.
Water was very warm in June, with great vis and decent currents allowing for some great drift diving...

We dove with Prodive Bali. They seemed very unorganized, did not meet our requests (all week--and even the day of-- we had requested to do 3 dives at Nusa Penida bc it is a long boat ride, but they cancelled it only AFTER our 2nd dive there). We also felt a bit ripped off for the money we paid. Our driver also hit a moped rider....Would not recommend. We dove Tulamben, Padang Bai, Menjangen, and Nusa Penida. If I had to do it again, would only dive Nusa Penida and Tulumben. Water was very cold. We were lucky to see a mola mola at Crystal Bay and many mantas at Manta Point (Nusa Penida). The temples and monkey forest are a must see, loved the beaches and the surf too! Kuta was definitely a party town--lots of people and shopping. It was fun to rent a moped for $10 a day and the Balinese/Thai/Hotstone massages for an hour $9 are a must!

Went hunting mola mola but no luck there. Huge sea snake was some compensation at Crystal Bay. Interesting dive because of some quite tricky currents but lots to look at with heaps of fish including some huge tuna. Second dive was at a part of Nusa Penida called 'SD' because of the local elementary school nearby. 30m vis and some of the best coral I have seen made it a fantastic dive. Heaps of fish including some great scorpionfish. One of the best coral dives I have done.

Perfectly placed, Absolute Scuba in Padang Bai in my opinion couldn't be better. The diving there is as good if not better than any other on Bali (the Liberty Wreck aside). 45 minutes by boat to Crystal Bay gives you Mola Mola heaven, sea snakes, octopus, coral, reef fish - everything. 20 minutes further on and you get to Manta Point....Manta Ray heaven. I'm back there in 3 weeks and can't wait.

Dived Tulumben with Bali Scuba. Not great weather but vis OK. Lots of fish on the wreck and saw yellow frogfish and pygmy seahorses. Got in three dives and had a very good day despite the travelling. Can't wait to go back to do Nusa Penida next time.

| The Liberty lies on a black sand slope, almost parallel to the beach and is approximately 30 m offshore. This dive site is suitable for all levels of qualification and experience. The wreck lies in depths from 9-30 m; the shallowest part of the wreck, where it touches the sand slope, is at 5-10 m. Depth along the middle of the wreck is 16-20 m. The lower edge of the wreck, i.e. furthest down the slope, is 20-28 m (at high tide). The wreck is 120 m long, it’s pretty broken up (i.e. no penetration possible) but you can still see the guns, toilets, boilers, anchor chain, etc. |

 30m / 98ft |

So much to see. So many fish. Despite of it being a very busy spot the coral is excellent. Make sure you go outside peak hours, as it can be very very busy.

Agree that the night dive is sensational. Early morning high-tide dives before the day-trippers arrive is great as well. This ship is not the USS Liberty - correctly it is the USAT Liberty-Glo.

as we stayed in Tulamben our dive guide knew when to go and we were always alone on the wreck. The night dive is awsome. Great place

Best wreck I ever dived. Took more than 1.000 pictures in a week. Every dive I discovered new species I never saw before.
And when you think you know your way on the way, try a nightdive!

I dove with Made Suwena, PADI Instructor for several time in this place. We always find something new here. Good dive could be early morning or late afternoon.. bit quite from daily trippers but awesome

Lots of fish, if you are lucky some bumphead parrotfishes pass the wreck. Go early in the morning, later lots of divers from all over Bali are diving on the wreck

Aquamarine said it was wavey last week making exits and entries difficult but it was fine when we dived there. You could dive the wreck a hundred times and always see something different. We didn't want to dive there because its so heavily promoted but very, very glad we did.
