Lembongan Island

Indonesia is commonly described as paradise for scuba dive enthusiasts. We wanted to jump in to our dive suits and in to the blue as soon as possible and make sure on our own that the glory of this country's underwater world is justified. That is why our next destination was Lembongan Island.



We soon found out, that traveling along Indonesia was not going to be easy. Lembongan Island is very close to Bali and know for its Manta point. This is why it is very popular with scuba divers. It took us 2 hours by taxi, some waiting, and another hour by boat and we arrived.

As we waited for the boat, we decided to try some curry and fresh juice.

Still waiting for the boat.

Finally on the boat and headed towards Lembongan island.

Last view of Bali and the fishermen.

We finally arrived. We liked this island a lot more than Bali. It was more quiet - without annoying locals - and yet full of people like us - either surfers or scuba divers. We went directly to Blue corner dive and reserve our dives. The people at the dive center were nice and helpful and they even helps us with accomodation and recommondations for best restaurants.

We were in luck. The very next day they were headed to Manta Point - very famous destination, where manta ray encounter is guaranteed. We wanted more, so we booked 3 days of diving with them.
