It would seem where ever you go there are perfect reefs to find and adventuers to be had.

Despite the fall out from the recent Bali bomb, most of Indonesians are welcoming and would love to see tourists return. There are some areas that are always volatile due to local conflicts, but check out travel, advisorries and you should stay safe.
