By Explorer Becky Wicks<\/em><\/p>\n

Diving in Indonesia I’ve seen manta rays the size of small cars, swum alongside docile sea turtles as they gazed straight into my eyes and hovered over starfish as big as my head. A scuba diving holiday here is something you mustn’t miss, especially if you book a live-aboard boat. Here’s where to head to make the most of Indonesia\u2019s underwater world.<\/p>\n

Diving Between Parties on<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Gili<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Trawangan,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Lombok<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I actually did my\u00a0PADI\u00a0Advanced Open Water course on\u00a0Gili\u00a0Trawangan\u00a0\u2013 the biggest island in a chain of three off the coast of\u00a0Lombok\u00a0and a bit of a party place (Tip: Don’t dive after a night at the Irish bar, it’s not fun at all, trust me!). The best company to dive with in\u00a0Gili\u00a0Trawangan\u00a0is\u00a0Dive Central Gili<\/a>. It’s brand new with two teal boats, sparkly new equipment and their instructors have been hand-selected from around the area, so you know you’re getting the best of the bunch. Say hi to the owners Sumeena and Sandesh from me!<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/strong>:\u00a0Scallywags Resort<\/a>\u00a0is a firm favourite on\u00a0Gili\u00a0Trawangan. It\u2019s right on the strip and close to the best bars and restaurants. The pool is great for cooling off away from the beach and the food is always excellent. \u2018Scallys\u2019 serves my favourite breakfast on\u00a0Gili\u00a0T.<\/p>\n

Diving Shipwrecks in<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Amed,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Karangasem<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amed\u00a0sprawls along the east coast of Bali and is quieter than\u00a0Gili\u00a0Trawangan. I went with my boyfriend and we noticed it attracted more couples than rowdy backpackers. The guys at\u00a0Baliku Dive Resort<\/a>\u00a0became great friends of ours as we dove the\u00a0USS\u00a0Liberty wreck at\u00a0Tulamben, waving at clown fish,\u00a0sweetlips,\u00a0bumphead\u00a0parrotfish\u00a0and sea turtles along the way \u2013 you tend to bond when you see such wondrous things all day.<\/p>\n

In May, something magical happens in\u00a0Amed. We dove with manta rays at their underwater ‘cleaning station.’ Ask\u00a0Nico\u00a0about it when you get to the dive shop and watch his smile light up.<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/strong>:\u00a0Kebun<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Impian<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a cute little guesthouse made up of only five rooms, so chances are you\u2019ll have the infinity pool overlooking the ocean all to yourself, just like we did. If you rent a scooter from the owners, you\u2019re just minutes away from the dive schools and lots of restaurants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Muck Diving in<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Lembeh<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Strait,<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Sulawesi<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Apparently a new species of marine life is discovered every six months in the\u00a0Lembeh\u00a0strait and with more than 60 dive sites around, I was keen to get involved with some muck diving to see what macro life I could spot. I saw all kinds of shrimp, big and small, as well as some freaky looking\u00a0frogfish, but the highlight was the pygmy seahorses. There are some great coral reefs at the northern tip of\u00a0Lembeh, too. We also saw sharks and mackerel around\u00a0Batu\u00a0Kapal.<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/strong>: Close to Mount\u00a0Tongkoko,\u00a0Bitung\u00a0Port and\u00a0Lembeh\u00a0strait is\u00a0Dabiraheat<\/strong>\u00a0Lembeh<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Hills Resort<\/strong><\/a>, where you will be treated like a rock star. But even better, it has its own dive centre and will happily set you up. After our dives we were given fresh fruit and tea on the boat, which was a nice surprise. Rooms are spacious and the dive sites are just a short ride away.<\/p>\n

Diving Versus Surfing in<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Mentawai<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Islands, Sumatra<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Surfers love the\u00a0Mentawai\u00a0Islands, but there’s lots for divers to explore here, too, and being so close to Singapore (Bintan\u00a0can be accessed by ferry), these islands could be a great place to start your scuba diving adventures. I saw some stunning macro life around some of the\u00a0Riau\u00a0Archipelago dive sites and also some pretty fish and coral around\u00a0Padang\u00a0on the west coast. For non-divers who want to keep their feet on dry land, there are lots of hikes through the jungle in these parts to keep you busy.<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/strong>:\u00a0Aloita\u00a0has the only dive centre in Sumatra\u2019s\u00a0Mentawais\u00a0and it had us swimming with blacktip sharks and barracudas. The resort is on a private island and its bar practically touches the stunning blue water!\u00a0Scuba Travel<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0are recognised as the leading experts on live-aboard cruises and worldwide diving holidays and it runs some excellent Sumatra trips.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diving a Diver’s Dream on the<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Raja<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Ampat Islands, West Papua<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cWow, wow, wow!\u201d is all that came out of my mouth when a friend and I finally got to the glorious\u00a0Raja\u00a0Ampat\u00a0Islands for a live-aboard diving cruise. Being right in the heart of the coral triangle, this marine park is known for hosting the biggest biodiversity of marine life on the planet, with almost 1500 species of fish and 75 per cent of all known coral species. We saw turtles, sharks, ghost pipefish, devil rays, batfish and more in some of the clearest water I’ve ever been diving in. Wow, wow, wow!<\/p>\n

Where to stay<\/strong>:\u00a0Raja\u00a0Ampat\u00a0Biodiversity Eco Resort<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Gam\u00a0Island takes no more than 12 guests at a time and it\u2019s total paradise. You\u2019ll eat with your fellow divers and enjoy exploring the jungle that slopes into the azure sea right by your hut. Better still, it\u2019s green in an\u00a0eco-friendly way.\u00a0Scuba Travel<\/strong>\u00a0also sails to\u00a0the Raja\u00a0Ampat Islands. If you\u2019re lucky enough to get a place on a live-aboard trip with them, it will be worth the price. It was for me anyway. Pink seahorses the size of your fingernail, anyone?<\/p>\n

What Does the<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>PADI<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Course Involve?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over the course of three days, I took a written test, did my first deep-water dive with a compass and then my first ever night dive. Incredible! We turned our lights off, swam through the neon\u00a0bioluminescence\u00a0in the blackness and felt like spacemen swimming through the stars. Don’t forget, that was for my Advanced Open Water (I started diving in Jamaica several years ago!) Your basic Open Water will teach you the main skills \u2013 buoyancy control, breathing and so on, before introducing you to the ocean’s shallow waters and a whole new world of wonder. I was instantly addicted.<\/p>\n

How Much Does PADI\u00a0Cost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prices to get your\u00a0PADI\u00a0Open Water or Advanced Open Water as well as other diving qualifications in Indonesia can vary from US$200 to US$400\u00a0and upwards, depending on your requirements. It’s best to check with some dive schools in advance.<\/p>\n

[tabs]<\/p>\n

[tab title=”Best Time to Visit<\/strong>” icon=”entypo-light-up”]You can dive in Indonesia all year round, but the best time is May through September. Most live-aboard boat trips won’t be running during the rainy monsoon season, which is from December to June.[\/tab]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[tab title=”Getting There<\/strong>” icon=”entypo-address”]Malaysia to Bali:<\/strong> Air Asia and Malaysia Airlines\u00a0fly<\/a>\u00a0directly from\u00a0Kuala\u00a0Lumpur\u00a0International Airport to\u00a0Denpasar\u00a0(DPS) in Indonesia, from which you can travel anywhere in Bali and onto the\u00a0Gili\u00a0Islands by speedboat. Both airlines, as well as\u00a0Garuda\u00a0Indonesia, also offer direct flights to Jakarta\u2019s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport<\/a>\u00a0(CGK).\u00a0Getting to North Sulawesi requires a single stopover flight with\u00a0Garuda.<\/p>\n

[\/tab]<\/p>\n

[tab title=”Visa Requirements” icon=”entypo-book”]Visitors to Indonesia receive a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, which you must pay for at the airport (US$50 in cash). A departure fee of IDR150,000 must be paid when you leave.[\/tab]<\/p>\n
