Beach
Nusa Dua is
a beach at the south of Bali, part of Bukit Paninsula. It is call
Nusa Dua because there are two Islands that are united with Bali
Island, and the coast arround the Island is called Nusa Dua Beach.
The beach has a very white sand and the waves are quiet in the north
and bit bigger at the south. Nusa Dua is also the center of water
sports activities. It's under water panorama is similar with Sanur
sea, because their reef is part of the reef that lies in front of
Sanur Beach.

Padang
Bay
Padang Bay is
located east of Denpasar, just one and half hours by coach. Padang
Bay was once a small fishing village but is now a lively tourist
center with small restaurants and shops strung along a white sandy
beach a port for visiting cruise ships with ferries going to Lombok.
However on most days, the bay is used by local ferries and fisherman
in small outriggers. These same outrigger are modified with outboard
motors to take divers to local sites just ten to fifteen minutes
away. The area is known for it's abundance of soft corals, gorgonias
and crinoids. The number and variety of nudibrances would excite

The main attraction here is the sunken Liberty Ship just off the
volcanic beach. The wreck is lying 6 meters from the beach until

Nusa Penida
/ Lembongan Island
One and half
hour by boat from Sanur beach is the Island of Lembongan. The waters
between Nusa Penida and Lembongan are subject to strong currents
so the feasibility is generally excellent and the soft coral growth
prolific. Along the island rocky cliffs are hard coral gardens and
diversity of sea life. Most dives are drift dives and experienced
boat men always watch for surficing divers. Lembongan is also great
for non divers as it has excellent snorkeling in more sheltered
in shore waters and cruising arround the island between dives makes
a pleasant day with lunch and refreshments.
