Ocean Dream is located in Permuteran, on the north coast of Bali. It is an "innovative dive centre", as it calls itself! The aim is to offer a family atmosphere with a team of guides and instructors who are ready to share their passion for the sea and diving. The local guides are really specialised in macro and will find you everything you came here to see. As they spend about 3 hours a day underwater, they spot the animals and their movements in advance and will introduce them to you as you dive. The instructors offer you good level SSI training, from beginner to instructor, with instructors who speak several languages, so necessarily yours. The equipment is regularly tested and the compressor is carefully maintained by technicians to ensure the quality of the air you breathe. Here you rent equipment including Suunto computers and cameras for those who wish to bring home souvenirs. Ask your guide to take a picture of you, he will be happy to do so! You will be picked up from the hotel in the morning and taken back to the diving day. WIFI is free at the centre. Ocean Dream participates in the protection of the environment by avoiding the access of some very fragile sites such as the muck dive and coral gardens to novice divers who have not yet mastered buoyancy.

Lets Dive is located in Tulamben, on the island of Bali, Indonesia. A young team of very professional and passionate instructors welcomes both beginners and experienced divers. Their motto is "We live and breathe diving"! Adaptable and helpful, Nyoman and his colleagues arrange the life of those who come diving with them by a thousand small details of importance: by making a diversion to pick them up at the hotel free of charge, to lend what is missing even a GoPro pole, by taking pictures of you to make you happy? Here, we take all the time to explain the technical gestures or habits of the underwater fauna with a smile and in a good mood, which is a nice way to discover the "Bali underwater" and especially the diving sites of Tulamben such as the wreck of the USS Liberty, in good conditions. The staff presents the history of the boat before going in the water. The dive lasts about 45 to 60 minutes depending on the divers' consumption. You discover a wreck full of corals and fish. On the return trip, you enjoy a small snack with tea or coffee and some fruit. It is not uncommon that later on in the day you exchange with the other divers and instructors, over a Bintang beer, about Indonesian culture and life in Bali? Lets Dive Tulamben is very invested in the local eco-responsible economy . [+]
