What a beautiful part of Bali. Padang Bai is great for snorkelling. Better snorkelling is a little further north at Tulamben, where the shipwreck USAT Liberty is situated. This wreck begins in 5 metres of water so is great for snorkelling. The drive there is very scenic as well. Closer to home, Candidasa offers 2 amazing house reefs, Gili Mimpang and Gili Tepekong, awesome diving here as well. I can highly recommend Bali Bubbles, located in CD, for all things diving and snorkelling. It is a well run company and they will cater a package that suits. It is also easy to go out with a local on a traditional boat for a snorkel.
A trip to Pantai Putih (white sand beach) is worth a visit, Realax on the beach, many warungs, cold bintang, swimming and you can even hire snorkelling gear here. The trip alone is worth it...
Enjoy Candidasa!
