Bali/ Denpasar:
You will probably land in Denpasar. You can easily get a taxi, scooter, or transfer to Sanur. You could also head straight for Nusa Penida from Sanur or Denpasar Nusa Penida via booking a ferry here. When having 2 weeks here I would head straight to Nusa Penida, and more specifically Nusa Lembongan, and start diving here! It's a beautiful island you can easily stay for a week! However, I would recommend staying here for 3-5 days and booking your ferry to the Gili Islands.
​
Choose your favorite Gili Island.
In short:
Trawangan: The largest island, and most busy but lots of opportunities for diving, parties, and accommodation.
Meno: The smallest and most quiet. No parties but a real laidback Island feel.
Air: A mix between the 2. Still pretty quiet.
​
​
Spend 3-5 days diving here before heading back to Bali, Especially Amed & Tulamben. You can easily get a transfer straight to Amed harbor from the Gili islands for around 400.000IDR ($22, -) per person. Bigger groups will obviously lower the price significantly.
​
When in Amed and Tulamben
you can spend 3-5 days diving Amed bay, Tulamben, and perhaps even the Kubu wreck, before leaving for Lovina or Pulau Menjangan. This is amazing because not many people go all the way out here, so you'll have lots of space to move around underwater.
​
If you still have a few days left I would recommend moving more south to Ubud or perhaps Sanur and catching a few dives in Padang Bai before flying home or further.
