Bali, Indonesia

Bali is the easiest part of Indonesia to travel, and its reef diving is a world-class experience. Located ideally between the Indian and Pacific oceans, a faultless current allows leisurely exploration of the diverse landscapes of pinnacles, coral gardens and black volcanic sands, perfect for the underwater photographer. These are also supreme waters for those more interested in the creatures of the sea. "These nutrient-rich waters support a cornucopia of bio-diversity," says Christopher. "Rare, unusual species can also be found by the lucky diver." The best time for diving Bali is September and October.
