BOOKING
Easy to book and pay for, the required forms were emailled out and easy to fill out. There are free shuttle pickup locations to choose from.
I booked everything the day before, do yourself a favour, give yourself more than a day, so you can plan the pickup location easier. Although this could have been because I relied on email as I don't use Whats App.
The ladies in the office were lovely and spoke amazing english to make the whole trip stress free.
PRE-DEPARTURE
Prior to departing, you will be sized up for your equipment, all of which is obviously well used with who knnows how many divers using it over its lifetime, but it is also well maintained, I did have 1 regulator issue that I identified prior to starting my dive, but they also carried spares.
TRAVEL and FOOD
A ~3.5 hour drive each way, with a comfort stop on the way there to stretch you legs, toilet break and snacks.
At the dive site, you are based out of a resturant, where lunch and a drink is included, with a number of local and western options to enjoy after your first dive.
THE DIVE
Enough of the boring stuff, and down to the dive itself.
Chris was my guide, with 9+ years of experience. He was very friendly and conducted himself calmly and professionally, he gave a clear dive brief including safety before the dives, with Chris' hundreds of dives a year, he knows this wreck like the back of his hand. He set a perfect pace to "take it all in" and take pictures ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? ???? Everything you would expect to see was there and too many to name, take your macro lens with you.
The wreck itself was very accessible, and from the beach you enter and are shortly decending and passing over a coral garden, that in itself provides an execellent view to take in at the start of the dive and also just after your safety stop on the return to the surface.
I went in mid-May, just after the rainy season, and it wasn't too busy, I was lucky enough to have Chris to myself. There were plenty of other divers in the water, but we only occasionally saw them and then, only briefly.
The water temp was 28⁰C, the visibility was 15-20m, the dive time for each dive was 50+ mins and max depth ~ 20m.
Great experience, and cant reccomend Chris enough, Toto was another guide who was there with us but taking some new divers on their first dive experience, he too had many years of experience and a funny guy, ask him to show you his magic tricks ???? ????.
When you break it all down, transport (6-7 hrs) plus a shuttle pick up and drop off, equipment hire, 2 dives, a guide, lunch; you get a lot for your money.
All in all a great experience,

Amazing experience with Bali Diving. Everything was smooth sailing and our instructor, Tunas, was incredible. He made us feel at ease, made us laugh, and guided us through everything with clarity! Really made us feel safe and maximised our diving experience!
The personalised service was outstanding. I dove with my adult son and his partner who is a new diver. I am senior and we were all looked after, To have most of the weight taken from me on land was so helpful, especially on the uneven slippery volcanic rocks. They personalised the diving to suit all our experience. The equipment was in great condition, computers in good working order and set in front of us (Nitrox) The restaurant and meal/snacks/facilities all terrific. Definitely a company who pride themselves on personalised service.
