Scuba Diving Lombok is not exclusive to the professionals

Scuba Diving Lombok, Indonesia has a long history of beautiful marine life and picturesque shores. It is an island that is located next to Bali, although not as renowned in the world. The marine life while scuba diving Belongas Bay is amazing as you will find an abundance of tunas, barracudas and other pelagic life in our waters. Further Belongas Bay dive sites within the bay such as Gili Sarang and The Magnet are particular hosts to vast marine life. Around the time of September, in the Gili Sarang area you will be able to sight the mobula and eagle ray. In the months of May till September, the hammerhead sharks are known to be present while scuba diving “The Magnet”.

Scuba diving “The Manget” and “The Cathedral” are two of the challenging sites while scuba diving Belongas Bay and are recommended to experienced scuba divers. However, Scuba Diving Belongas Bay will let you dive in the lesser challenging but more amateur friendly scuba diving sites as well, but this is only possible if you dive Belongas during May/April or in October.

As with any legitimate and professional scuba diving service, there are some minimum prerequisites that for scuba diving Belongas Bay. Firstly, there is a minimum requirement of two divers – single individuals cannot take part in these activities, you are required to come in pairs or as a group of more than 2. Each diver has with them, a log book to check in all the dives that they have participated in over a year. From June till the end of October, as there are extremely challenging conditions in these waters – the scuba divers must have completed a minimum of a hundred logged dives. These rules are made for the safety of every individual as we are able to effectively gauge their level of expertise. For the months outside of this specified time period, a minimum of fifty logged dives need to be shown. Before going forward with the dive, everyone is required to have the right gear and accessories. Your own dive computer and a surface marker are a requirement and divers who wish to participate but do not have their own gear can rent these devices from us. Apart from that, divers are recommended to wear a reef hook and gloves and there is absolutely no accommodation for non-diving personnel and snorkelers on any dive boat.
