Planning Your Journey: Travel and Seasonal Considerations

To begin your adventure to Bali, you will first need to fly into Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar, Bali. From there, a sea transfer to Waisai or Benoa Harbour / Sanur / Serangan, often the starting point for many charters, is required. It is essential to plan ahead, as flight connections and sea transfers can be limited, especially during peak season.

The optimal time to visit Bali for diving is between April and October, coinciding with the dry season. During these months, the seas are calmer, visibility is excellent, and marine life is abundant. Divers will have the best chance of encountering manta rays and whale sharks, particularly between May and September. Visitors should also be prepared to pay the mandatory Bali tourist levy of approximately IDR 150,000 (~USD 10) per foreign visitor.
