I was just wondering if anyone could advise me on great scubadiving and surfing spots in Bali for a beginner. I'd love to try both and we appreciate info from people that have done it there before, I should be there in a few days so I guess this time of the year should be taken into account. Thanks!

Surfing - Kuta Beach (big waves but sand breaks), and some of the smaller beaches on Nusa Dua (south of Kuta).

Diving - Tulamben - north of the island - Liberty Wreck a must 😊 - and Nusa Penida - accessible from Padang Bai.

Lots more details in my blogs - have a great time - you won't be disappointed 😊

You could head over to Lombok - on the south of that island is a place that I've heard is excellent and a lot less crowded... Reply to this
