If you are only having a trip for a week, you either need to stay and focus at one area (staying at Amed or Tulamben, for example), or pick 10 – 12 dive sites throughout Bali to explore for the week.

Do You Bring A Non-Diver Companion?
Are you travelling with a non-diver partner or kids? Going on a dive trip with a non-diver travelling companion can greatly affect your choice of dive sites. First, you might have to limit to half the amount of possible dive sites for the trip. If you can dive 15 dive sites for a week of dive trip, you might want to reduce it to just 6 – 7 sites. You will need to spend at least half of your time going out with your family/ partner, right? Also, we won’t recommend somewhere remote like Menjangan or Gilimanuk, where there little entertainment for non-diving traveler. Stick to dive sites which is close to travel attractions like Tulamben, Amed, or Nusa Penida.
What is Your Level? Pick Up Appropriate Bali Dive Sites for You
This is crucial. Every divers should know their limit and choose sites accordingly. Most dive sites in Bali are beginner friendly—divers with just beginner open water certification could dive easily. However, some sites like Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan are well known for its currents, which only suitable for the experienced.
