“The diving was ok but it is a massive drive from Kuta/Seminyak area so the bulk of the day was spent sitting in traffic doing high speed overtaking and tail gating vehicles while desperatelyneeding to go to the bathroomfor the last hour. It was 13 hours between pick up and drop off. If you want to dive there spend the night. It is an exhausting day trip.”
