There are four pieces of scuba diving gear that I believe are essential for your scuba diving safety. I try having them with me on each and every Bali diving trip and liveaboard dive experience that I do. My experience with the water has shown me the significance of these potential life-saving diver tools, for yourself and your dive mates.
Security sausage, this surface marker is the cheapest piece of dive equipment you can purchase other than a whistle, which is likewise something to be thankful for to have, yet today they are quite often standard equipment on a large number "BCD'S". The security sausage should be visible even in choppy oceans from a long way off with the independent eye. Today there are brands that also include a segment of night reflectors that will light up very brightly when it is hit with any kind of light.
A dive light, ideally a Drove light as the consumption times are so lengthy. Around evening time assuming that you are floating, you can grab the eye of passing boats, helicopters, or planes. Positively in the event that a hunt is being made for you around evening time, you truly increment the chances of being seen. I keep one in my pocket constantly as I like to search in openings for little critters on jumps, so I get a great deal of purpose out of my pocket light, continuously knowing in my sub-conscience that I have it would it be advisable for me I float off and disappear into the evening.
The knife I can recall one time in Bali I was plunging with a gathering, and I was taking a gander at something and got isolated, as I was making a beeline for the get spot, I practically swam into a large, almost undetectable, phantom net! It would be extremely simple to have gotten entangled and without a knife, I would have had an exceptionally difficult chance to receive in return.
I have a friend that works with nets fishing Hawaii coastlines, and when he does this around evening time, he swims bare to diminish the possibility of having anything hang up on the net and drowning him, which happens to this kind of fisherman.
Dive PC, today are very inexpensive and they keep going for a really long time. Why depend on the old simple checks with tables and outlines, when you can have this exceptionally fundamental piece of jump gear for, generally determined for generally jumpers, under a dollar a dive? The curves are something that you would rather not wreck around with, having a jump PC tells you not too far off on your wrist or plunge console, precisely where you are at to the extent that you nitrogen loading and jump time, which will also let you know the amount of a decompression stop you ought to make if you incidentally surpass as far as possible on your arranged plunge profile.

Remember to plan your dive, and dive your plan, and be prepared with the right dive equipment.
Below are a few of the dive locations you can find around Bali. They are detailed by category and not in any particular order:
If you would like drift diving, then Nusa Penida diving has some incredible coral views while the water takes you for a ride. Nusa Penida is also the home of giant manta rays, which come to get cleaned at Manta Point. The island of diving Nusa Penida also shows some additional locations like Crystal Bay, where we see the incredible mola-mola sunfish from the end of June to the end of November.
Here are some magnificent dive spots for beginners Padangbai is home to some simple but beautiful diving for beginners in Blue Lagoon or White Sand Beach and a few more difficult dive spots with currents like The Channel or Shark Point. Generally, you can see turtles, white-tip reef sharks, cattle fish, rays, multiple types of reef fish, and incredible macro like the pygmy seahorse.
Many scuba divers would say "no" to the USAT Liberty shipwreck in Tulamben while diving in Bali. The Liberty wreck is one of the most affordable wrecks one could ever dive into. The dive site is near the beach, which also allows visiting it, even snorkelers. If the wreck is not sufficient, you can always try Coral Garden or Drop Off, which are only a few walking distances from the Liberty.
So these are just a few dive sites available but trust me, Bali has much more if you have much time during the vacation. If your partner happens to be a non-diver, then there is no reason to be bored in Bali. Nearly every dive site has the wonderful opportunity to explore land-based Bali also. Tours can be done - by scooter or car, and they are so easy to manage that there is no need for prior planning. Venture out from the hotel room to experience remote villages, colorful local markets, Balinese temples, Ubud, and stunning rice fields. If you are crazy for some adventure, then maybe mountain biking, water rafting, canyoning, surfing, or climbing a volcano will satisfy your adrenaline craving.
There is not- many places in the world that offer such incredible scuba diving as Bali also has so many land interests to keep even the most demanding travellers engaged.
