And based on information from professional diver instructors who used to dive in Nusa Penida, guests only have 4-5hours of the best time for diving.

Before doing scuba diving Bali, you should read the tidal charts where mentioned if there is a difference in tidal height it can cause waters flowing. When that happens then the only way is you do the current flow technique. For that, it is important for tourists who want to dive, either professional or beginner to use the guide while diving.

A dive leader, or instructor or at least has a master certificate with dive experience in various areas of Bali diving spots should be able to determine the location of entry and exit locations to be delivered as a guide to divers or to the ship operator to prevent diver being dragged away from the starting point of the dive.
