Even in the dry season, tropical weather can surprise you. One minute it’s blazing sunshine, the next it’s a full downpour. It’s part of island life! And honestly, it’s not such a bad thing. The rain cools things down, keeps the island lush, and gives you a good reason to slow the pace. But it helps to be prepared. Whether you’re here for diving, relaxing, or just exploring, it’s smart to have a few rainy day options up your sleeve.
Here’s how to make the most of rainy days in Nusa Lembongan.
Getting back in the water after some time away is exciting. But if it’s been six months or more since your last dive, we recommend a refresher. Even experienced divers can feel a little rusty after a break, and a quick session upfront makes your first dive back smooth, safe, and way more enjoyable.
The best part? A refresher is short, inexpensive, and packed with value. Spending a little time on it means you can dive straight into the fun, without worrying about the basics.
One of the best things about diving is how close it brings you to marine life. You’re not just watching nature from a distance, you’re in it. Floating over coral, cruising in the current beside turtles, or finning through schools of fish feels magical. But with that privilege comes responsibility. Coral reefs and marine ecosystems are fragile, and divers play a big role in protecting them.
When a diver completes their Divemaster training and steps into the professional ranks, most people might expect a framed certificate or a handshake. In the dive industry, though, there’s a very different tradition: the infamous snorkel test. A drink poured through a snorkel, downed in one go, cheered on by a team of proud instructors and excited divers.
You’ve got your swimsuit, flip-flops, and sunnies packed. Great start. But if you want your holiday to be truly stress-free, there are a few items people never think to bring until they’re already on the island. These are the little things that can make a big difference, whether you’re diving, snorkelling, or just soaking up the island vibes.
A plastic bottle wedged in the reef. A fishing line wrapped around a bommie. A single-use food wrapper drifting by on a drift dive.
It’s frustrating…but you’re not powerless. As a diver, you’re uniquely positioned to make a difference. And Dive Against Debris is one way to turn that frustration into action, and give back to the ocean.

Bali’s “Top Dive Sites” that doesn’t include Crystal Bay.

It’s the start of 2023 and it’s time to start thinking about our next holidays and dive trips over the coming year. Let’s be honest, it’s not been an easy time for many people recently, with increased energy costs and the end of covid but we all still want to have great adventures underwater - and you still can! When our bank accounts don't coordinate with our original plans, it becomes time to think and plan smart. And luckily, a lack of funds won't mean we have to give up on our travel dreams.
Let’s start at the beginning and ask the question: why would you want to be a divemaster? Yeah, sure it’s a cool title and all, but it’s so much more than that! A lot of people believe it’s simply a stepping-stone towards becoming an instructor and that it will inevitably lead to a teaching role, but this really isn’t the case. It can open more doors and options than most people think!
