OVERVIEW The Abyss Bali Safari is divided into 4 different stages creating a variety of diving rarely seen at other destinations. Magnificent coral reefs, black sands with rare fauna and fish life, drop offs and wrecks, it’s all here; Frogfish, glass catfish, Pegasus fish, leaf fish, nudibranches, seahorses, schools of butterfly fish, jacks, snapper and barracuda. White tip reef sharks, carpet sharks, mantas and, from August to October, the famous giant ocean sun fish, which will amaze even the most demanding “I’ve seen it all” diver. |

Blessed by the gods, Bali is an island paradise where every day is a celebration. The cultural richness of the Balinese, the only Hindus in South East Asia, is inspiring, especially when we consider the number of artists, painters, sculptors, musicians and dancers who make this their home. The topography and countryside is also stunningly beautiful. It shows an amazing geographical diversity comprising rice terraces set into the sides of mountains, volcanoes piercing through clouds, luxurious tropical forests and sun baked beaches surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea. Everything about Bali invites us to discover and be marveled by her beauty. |

The choice of hotels for the safari is based on Abyss’ perception of a dive trip: charm and conviviality are more important than luxury. Most of the accommodation choices offer all the necessary comforts, however they give preference to the scenery, quality of service and optimal location relating to the dive sites visited on the excursions.
Transport is organized with a minibus on land, and diving onboard a catamaran specifically designed according to divers’ needs. This dive vessel allows quick and comfortable relocation from stage to stage while keeping all equipment on board, ready for the next fantastic dive. |
|
The catamaran accommodates 16 divers, 2 crew and 3 dive guides. She is powered by 4 X 200hp Yamaha outboard engines and features an open flybridge with seating, a Nitrox membrane compressor and a dive tender. A big rack for individual tanks and storage is available. The catamaran cruises comfortably at 20 knots with a top speed of 30 knots. For safety, there is a GPS, radar, sounder, full safety inventory, a first aid kit, oxygen kit, life jackets and 2 life rafts. This vessel allows us to access the best spots quickly and comfortably. |
