Depending on the Bali Dive Safari you choose, you'll have the possibility to do 2 days/1 night up to 15 days or more…

We offer custom made holidays, Bali Dive Safaris « à la carte ». You choose the length of your Safari, the dates of arrival and departure, the cultural visits and the dive sites you want to explore. Of course we can make a few recommendations about these choices (we have been diving Bali for more than 15 years!)

The bottom line is, we adapt the program to your wishes…it's your holiday, and it's our priority to make it a perfect one!!!

That's why our safaris are organized without fixed dates or a required number of Scuba divers.

Atlantis International is not just a Scuba dive center, we have also been organizing cultural visits and trekkings on the Island of the Gods for over 6 years. This means we can offer to integrate guided visits in your Safari, allowing you to discover the fascinating Balinese culture. The options are numerous; walks in the rice fields, visiting temples, local markets, traditional villages,.. More active possibilities include mountain biking, rafting, surfing,…
