Contrary to what many scuba divers may think, a liveaboard scuba diving in Bali may not necessarily be more expensive relative to conventional scuba diving vacations. As a matter of fact, liveaboard scuba diving, if well planned may even save you money and hassles.

Firstly, you will save a lot of transportation time and costs, such as traveling to your dive operator’s boat and then after your dive, returning to your hotel or resort, lugging your cumbersome scuba diving gear to and fro, then repeating this same process for the next couple of days during your scuba diving vacation in Bali.

Next, you save money from hotel or resort accommodation because since you are living on the liveaboard dive boat, there will be no need for hotel or resort bookings. On top of that, you do not need to hunt for expensive meals in your hotel or resort since all liveaboard scuba diving packages will include meals. This will also mean that you will be probably having very fresh and succulent sea food caught by the crew while you are enjoying your scuba diving.

The highlight of your liveaboard Bali scuba diving vacation is that you can dive in many exotic dive spots instead of the ones near where you stay. This is because you need not return to your resort hotel to retire for the day, the liveaboard dive boat will cruise to far flung scuba diving locations while you are sleeping, again saving you time and best of all, you get to save more money by diving in more dive locations for the same price.

Below is a typical liveaboard Bali scuba diving package offered by quite a few Bali dive operators.

Day One-Visit one of Bali’s most interesting street on the way to Pemuteran & Menjangan North West Bali which will also include a stopover in View Point Restaurant Sanda. Dive Sites: Pemuteran House Reef & Reef Project or Secret Bay in Gilimanuk

Day Two-After breakfast, you will hop onboard for a dive boat trip to Menjangan Island. Dive Sites: Menjangan – National Park, Walls, Anker Wreck, Coral Garden, lunch and surface rest on a white sandy beach.

Day Three-Dive Sites: Amed or Tulamben or Secret Spot, Drop Off, Liberty Wreck Dive and Wall Dive

Today, in the age of the Internet, savvy travelers can quickly and efficiently package vacations that include the options that matter most to them. For scuba diving enthusiasts, putting together a scuba diving vacation package – that bundles all the features you most look for in a vacation – is as close as your home computer.

There are several options when it comes to planning a scuba diving vacation package. First and foremost, an all-inclusive option allows you to find those resorts that will include accommodations, meals, scuba time, and equipment rental in one convenient price. The ability to add options can mean the addition of plane fare, off-property excursions, and even scuba lessons if needed.

Even if you can’t locate an appropriate all-inclusive property – or choose not to go that route – you can still combine all the things you want to do into one scuba diving vacation package. Start with a location that appeals to you as a scuba diving destination; think outside the box and creatively explore different areas. Book accommodations based on your journey of choice and available scuba time, equipment rental, and lesson offerings. Your scuba diving vacation packaging should be a reflection of your personality. If you’re someone who enjoys getting to know a particular area, then an entire week in one location may be most enjoyable for you. If you prefer to hop around, several days in a couple of different spots may make more sense.

Most importantly, be sure to research any companies that offer scuba to ensure their safety record and proper certifications. Some Internet research should yield the information you need to make a good decision.

Finally, be sure to do some comparison shopping with regard to prices of a scuba diving vacation package. You may find quite a bit of difference between months of travel and package inclusions. Many Internet travel sites can do comparison pricing. Or you may want to ask other scuba divers about their travel experiences and what made their scuba diving vacation package so successful.
