After performing a quick google of local schools I decided to join Bali Dive Academy for 2 days of diving, and it turned out to be a very good decision. From the moment I was picked up at my hotel the experience was very well organised. The first day involved a transfer over to Nusa Lembongan island for 2 dives, great hosts, well maintained equipment, and beautiful dive sites. The second day included 2 dives up at Padang Bai with the enthusiastic Pierre, a very knowledgeable guide and excellent at spotting marine life, no nudibranch went unmissed! Our family will be returning to Sanur in May, I’ll be partaking in some more dives and I’ll also be trusting this school to teach my 13 year old, he’ll be in safe hands, thanks for the memories BDAS! Oh, and a shout out to your excellent office staff who responded quickly to my WhatsApp messages and made the whole administration process super smooth.
