Dive in Bali

[Dynauld]

It sounds like I will be heading to Bali this fall, I was wondering if anyone had some good contacts for local dive shops and or some sites that are better then others.

I hear the diving off Bali isn't the best.  But there should be great diving nearby.  Transport within Indonesia, even airfare, is really cheap.  I spent about a month on Pulau Weh off Aceh province in Northern Sumatra.  The diving was the best ocean diving I've seen.  Though that is a long way from Bali, and I have no idea what damage the tsunami caused the reefs (or for that matter the topside infrastructure).  On the Pacific side near Bali, I hear Northern Sulawesi is great diving.  Gili islands are really close to Bali, and I hear they have good diving.  Komodo is also nearby.  I'm jealous.  Maybe I'll head back this winter.
