Snorkeling is a great and safe way to meet the amazing marine life that lies just beneath the surface of the water.
Bali's underwater adventure is truly as magnificent as you discover and unfold the beauty beneath the water. Seeing the beautiful corals, colorful school of fish, and an undescribable unique life of the underwater will be an unforgettable experience on this great discovery. A blog "Ground Report" states that Indonesia, which comprises the world’s largest archipelago, is an important habitat and eco-balancing center for the marine life, including coral. It processes the richest assortment of coral species in the world, from fringes and barrier reefs to atolls and patch reefs. Estimates are that Indonesia’s reefs cover 85,700 square kilometers, constituting 14 percent of the world’s coral reefs. And some of then can be found in Bali. An area of shallow coral reef in Bali can be found in the West Bali National Park. It is easily accessible, a calm area free of strong currents and waves that affect most other parts of the island. The spectacular coral reef growth near the land makes for a diving and snorkeling paradise. Because the area is far from the island’s main tourism centers in the south, it is quiet and unspoiled. People in the West Bali live from the sea.

Nha Trang has a split personality. One takes the form of a smaller Danang – a bustling Vietnamese city humming with commerce but blessed with access to a beautiful beach. The other is a Western resort town encompassing several blocks of hotels, tourist shops, bars and international restaurants. Entering this sheltered enclave you could be anywhere in the world, if it weren’t for the constant hassling from xe om drivers, many of whom seem to moonlight as pimps and dealers.
The city is indisputably beautiful, bordered by mountains, with the beach tracing an impressive long swoop along a bay dotted with islands. Topiary and modern sculpture dot the immaculately manicured foreshore. The only blight on the horizon is the Hollywood-style sign for the Vinpearl complex – an ugly scar dominating nearby Hon Tre Island.
Nha Trang offers plenty to keep tourists occupied – from island-hopping boat trips and scuba diving, to mudbaths and historic sites. But the main attraction for most visitors is lounging around on deckchairs at a beachfront bar and drinking cocktails in comfort.
