Scuba Seraya Resort Bali
What a wonderful spot! The diving is easy and has some of the very best macro photography opportunities in Bali on site, the house site is called Seraya Secrets and is just amazing with a plethora of tiny criiters to keep any photographer happy for multiple dives over multiple days. We even got shots of a puple rhinopias!
And for those days were you want to shoot wide angle or see huge schools of jacks, it's just a few minutes by fast boat to the USS Liberty wreck, Tulamben Wall, and Tulamben Drop Off. For all our diving we always had our own guide, so no worries about getting dropped into a big group and getting dragged around or held back.
In the three trips we've made to Bali the water has always ranged from 81-82F. I'd definitely suggest a 3mm wetsuit as there are a lot of hydroids and fire coral which are easy to brush against accidentally.
The grounds and rooms are lovely, quiet, and secluded. The restaurant has plenty of choices and the food is very good. You really can't go wrong at Scuba Seraya!
