We're traveling to Bali next month (Sept.) and are looking for moderate places to stay and dive, as well as advice on the best way to get around from place to place (rent a car? hire a driver?). We're thinking of Sanur, Ubud and maybe Lovina. We want to avoid Kuta.
We're thinking of diving Nusa Penida and were wondering if it would be better to book a package tour with one of the dive operators, such as Bali Marine Sports, or stay somewhere on our own and dive by the day. We're both experienced divers. I've heard the diving at Menjangang Island is good, but have no idea where to stay in that area. Is there one central place from which we can see/dive most of Bali, or is it better to move around (we only have a week there).
Does anyone have experiences that would help us plan?
