Visa on Arrival is for 30 days only so please plan accordingly. If you require longer in the country please let us know and we can offer further information
  • Please carry Indonesian cash. (Change foreign currency in South Bali as it can be difficult to exchange outside of main cities)
  • Diving and Health Insurance are required, DAN offers comprehensive Hyperbaric Chamber insurance and this is most definitely recommended.

World Nomads is a good option for coverage.

 

***The Underwater Tribe reserve the right to change the rates of diving, transfers, and hotels any time without prior notice. This can be due to changes in local price structure such as fuel hikes, hotel price hikes, boat price hikes.
