Just a handful of useful names and numbers if you fancy a bit of diving in Bali, or find your self in need of a new mask or sync chord whilst on your travels…
Fly in with:
Air Asia from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. Use their offer of upgrading your baggage to suit the amount of gear you are carrying. Also make sure take advantage of their Sports Baggage policy. At the airport you can pay a further small fee to add an additional bag of sports equipment to your checked luggage. www.airasia.com
Visa on Arrival:
Bring US Dollars to cover the cost of your Visa on Arrival. $30 will get you a 30 day Visa.
Transport:
At the airport you can find the Taxi desk just to your right when you exit the Arrivals Hall. The drivers here all work for the airport and charge a fixed price. The price is slightly higher than a normal metered Taxi. For all other occasions Bluebird Taxis are the most reliable metered Taxis on the island: +62361701111
Most Dive Resorts can and will arrange transport for you to and from the airport. Some may charge, some may not, it depends on how far you are going. For example if you are staying in Tulamben you can expect to pay $30 US per person for the two and a half hour drive.
