Bali Has Tropical Weather, So Prepare Your Dive Suit Accordingly

The tropical country which Bali is in, Indonesia, is located right in the equator line. So you got a tropical island with high humidity and hot weather. Subsequently, the water temperature is quite warm. It’s generally set between 24ºC – 28ºC (75F – 82F). During July to November, the temperature generally drop to 18ºC – 22ºC, and this is the Mola Mola season! If you are planning to dive outside the Mola Mola season, a 3mm dive suits or even the shorty will just enough. It’s even quite warm to just snorkel with your swimsuit on! But you might need thicker dive suit, like the 5mm if you plan to dive during the sunfish season.

Bring Only Your Personal Dive Gears

If you plan to dive a lot, it’s better to invest on your own personal dive gears. Sure, you’ll need to pay more for the flight baggage. But you will save a lot than renting the gears for every day during your diving holiday. Just bring the basic; the dive suits, snorkel, masks, BCD, and probably your fins. Take that dive computer you cannot live without—it’s quite expensive to rent. You can rent the rest in the dive centre.
