Hi,

I am trying to find the best place to learn to scuba dive in Bali. I would like a beautiful place to dive. I would also like somewhere that is relaxed, beautiful local scenery, and just a great place to hang out since I will be there for a few days. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

P.S also - if anyone could tell me how much a PADI openwater certification would be roughly that would be GREAT

Here's a diving in Bali page from the WhyGo Bali site. That should get you started in the right direction and there are links to other resources from that page.

THIS WOULD BE MY PICK

My other pick would be Blue Oasis Beach Club Bali an Italian called Mario runs it, I have tagged along on his a diving trips in the past to do some snorkelling as I don’t dive but know he is a good instructor he also does kite surfing lesson nice guy.
