Perfect experience!
We were a group of 4 divers (1 Advanced, 2 Rescue, 1 Divemaster) and we booked the 14 day "Dive Safari" with Paradise Diving.. and what should I say? Everything was excellent - people, organization and the dives! 2 of us only speak English, this wasn't a problem - so it's not a "German only" dive shop! ;-) The staff consist of Daniel which is the German speaking manager in Padang Bai and locals which guide the customers on the dives, organize the logistics or drive people around ;-) All are very helpful, nice, open and flexible. Daniel is a good guy & organizer, he has the overview of all the stuff happening. If you're a bigger group and interested and seeing some different dive sites around Bali, the dive safari is a great way. It's basically diving in Padang Bai with some additional dives in Tulamben (Liberty wreck) and in Menjangan (macro orientated walls). But you can bring in your own wishes and desires, they will try everything to offer a great experience for you! Everything is nicely organized: accommodation, pickups, equipment - it will be all taken care of. Regarding the diving itself: We found the guiding on the dive sites professional and done with passion. I was surprised about the nice dive sites around Padang Bai itself - nice stuff to see. We also had a day around Nusa Penida (island south of Padang Bai), we had nice encounters with some Mantas! ;-) All around a nice experience.. mostly we had small local boats only for our group of 4 people with 1 guide, so the group ratio and personal care was excellent! ;-) We were always allowed to bring in our own ideas or to stay somewhere little bit longer, we were never rushed to finish as soon as possible or anything - we really felt it was a personal experience in any way possible. This was really nice for me especially, as I know how customers feel in really big dive shops, so here you still have a nice family atmosphere with a personal touch to it. Nice!! So I wanna say thanks again to the staff at Paradise Diving in Padang Bai! To have someone taking care of all the organizing after 7 months of travelling around Asia (were we have to organize everything ourselves normally) was just nice! ;-) Keep it up and hopefully see you guys again!

thanks for the good time diving
Padangbai itself is not really a place for a longer stay, but Paradise Diving and their good organization, great staff and the good diving make it worth staying a while. Thanks to Komang our dive guide, we will sure dive again with...
