Bali is one of the 34 provinces of the Republic of Indonesia and has become the prime holiday destination in Indonesia as well as one of the major holiday destinations for international tourists. The island is located in the westernmost end of the Lesser Sunda Islands, lying between Java to the west and Lombok to the east, and divided into 9 districts (8 regencies and 1 municipality) with population around four million people. Denpasar is the capital and most populous city of Bali. The vast majority of the Balinese people are Hindu so there are a significant number of temples on the island. Temple or Pura in Indonesian is the place for worship, and the biggest, most important and holiest temple in Bali is the Mother Temple of Besakih. Bali has a tropical climate all year with average temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and two different seasons. Dry season is between May and September with high humidity and wet season is between October and April with low humidity. From June to August, the weather is usually nice, breezy and cool.

Situated right next to Bali, Lombok unspoiled atmosphere of vintage tropical paradise might remind its visitors of Bali a couple decades ago. It is a developing tourism destination which proven by the recently-refurbished International Airport located in the city of Praya, serving regular flight to and from several cities of Java and the island of Bali, as well as neighboring countries of Malaysia and Singapore, the island also accessible by boat from Bali, Flores and Sumbawa. Lombok has a rich and enduring indigenous culture that has withstood the pressures of modernity remarkably well. 85% of the island inhabitants are composed by indigenous Sasak people whose origins are thought to have arisen from Java in the first millennium BC. Other residents include an estimated 10–15% Balinese, with the small remainder being Tionghoa-peranakan, Javanese, Sumbawanese and Arab Indonesians. Besides the widely-known spots of interest such as Senggigi Beach, Mount Rinjani and the Gili clusters, there are numerous fascinating underrated spots to see around the island, including Kuta Beach (not to be confused with the legendary one in Bali) on the Southern side, or the magnificent Tangsi Beach a.k.a ‘Pink beach’ at Eastern Lombok, named for the gorgeous pink sand covering its entire shoreline. In the central Lombok, you can opt to visit Selong Belanak beach, a secluded shoreline area with soft white-sand surrounded by lush greenery. With abundance natural and cultural wonders to relish, Lombok is a piece of admirable getaway for those who look for a relaxing tropical vacation.

First and foremost; a simple yet essential things to NOT do, panic will only make you waste your precious oxygen. Maintain your concentration and don’t forget to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings.
The Mask (Of Life)
Unlike snorkeling or surface dwelling, mask is top priority when it comes to diving, so always adjust the mask to the shape of your face before you go. Even the tiniest gap can be fatal, as it allows water to enter and fill your mask with dangerous pressure during your underwater trip. It is also suggested to apply anti-fogging cream or toothpaste on the inner side of the mask to increase your visibility.
Buddy system
Diving is a challenging and rather dangerous activity so it is always suggested to do it with packs. Appoint someone with the highest level of experience in your team to guide you throughout the activity, and always trust them. It is suggested that you assign a local guide or someone who understands well of the area you’re about to dive.

KUTA
There are much already said and done about Kuta, but the fact is, this is the area that never sleeps. Kuta nowadays has changed quite significantly, for better than worst. The beach is cleaner, the road are mostly paved and it still maintains the original ambient even though many kind of places have been built from shop, resorts, restaurants, pub, bars, lounge to lifestyle hub. It remains a great place to visit.
