Often regarded as one of Bali’s top water sports destinations it is no surprise that Kuta is also a Mecca for scuba diving expeditions and deep sea exploration adventures in general. As an area that was perhaps first recognized as a surfing hub the area is fast becoming known as one of the island’s best diving hotspots. Visitors with an avid interest in the sport can not only sign up for a diving tour through the Four Points by Sheraton Bali Kuta or the particular Bali luxury resort of their choice but also look in to diving lessons to pick up the skill.
Diving courses are in fact a main draw for visitors heading to Kuta due to the large collection of top-notch dive sites just off the coast of Kuta’s stunning beaches. Diving day trips are the most common tour variety offered by resorts and local tour operators and the excursion typically kicks off around 7am and concludes before 6pm. Kuta’s popularity among diving enthusiasts is not only based on the sheer variety of marine life occupying its waters which includes Giant Sunfish and Manta Rays but the wreck diving possibilities as well. The USAT Liberty WW2 shipwreck is perhaps the most famous shipwreck littering the coastal waters of Kuta while other must-dive hubs in the area include Padang Bai’s Blue Lagoon and Nusa Penida.
Those who are travelling to Kuta for scuba diving experiences should look in to local operators such as Manta Manta Diving for comprehensive scuba packages to suit their needs. Visitors can not only explore most of Bali’s best diving venues but also customize the trip as well. Don’t forget to consider package inclusions and exclusions as some tour organizers will provide scuba gear and hotel transfers as well as refreshments while others may only provide the scuba equipment, local guides and transport to the locations.
