21: Best Scuba Diving in Nusa Lembongan IS Manta Bay 印度尼西亚Nusa Lembongan最佳水肺潜水
Nusa Lembongan is the mecca of diving in July if you want the best chance of seeing mantas and mola mola. We traveled there so that Brown could experience diving with an MM, but unfortunately, we did not see any. We did have some great encounters with mantas at Manta Point! It was truly amazing. Be prepared for VERY cold water...in the north of Lembongan the water temps were 72-74 degrees F. At Crystal Bay and in the South, the average water temperature was 59-64 degrees F. That's cold water with crazy thermoclines, down currents, up currents, and all other kinds of currents! We dove with Tamerind Divers and they are a fabulous dive shop! We cannot recommend them enough!
The overall diving was great with lots of fishlife! Most dives are drift dives with a bit of current. Macro photography is difficult because of the current. Many of the reefs are in great shape. It's a lovely place to dive. Bring a jacket for the surface interval as it gets CHILLY with the wind gusts even in the sun!

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.
So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
