I popped... into Urban dive for the first time to see if they could assist me with my mask which I've done hundreds if not thousands of dives with but needed clips replaced.
I was assisted without hesitation by Dave whom surprised me by saying 'why spend money if not needed, let's see what we can do' whereas other outfits immediately suggested I toss it in the bin and purchase a new one.
I was offered coffee while I wait.
As a Scuba professional with over 2000 dives, this places screems professionalism from the get go.
Imagine what diving with them would be like.....read more

The professionalism of our instructor Rob and our DM Tyron was phenomenal. To be able to learn something new form someone so incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and still feel completely and utterly safe knowing they are watching everything is what made this so great, allowing us to enjoy it thoroughly.
Thanks you to Dave and the team. Looking forward to lots more dives with this incredibly bunch of humans.read more

We are back... from Bali!
What a beautiful country. The locals are humble, genuine, gentle and hospitable and are willing to share their island with the tourists. The ocean is warm, the water crystal clear. Inland attractions didn't disappoint.
We spent a week in Amed, a small village on the eastern shores. Here the diving was unbelievable (according to those in the know) and the snorkeling just as impressive. The 28 deg C water made it possible to snorkel for an hour with only a rash vest. The water is really salty so floating around without fins is easy.
We had 2 dinners on the beach which was really different. Nothing like fish taken off a fishing boat and thrown onto an open fire. Steamed rice and fresh local vegetables added to the yumminess!
The local restaurants were so reasonably priced, R100 for a lunch for 2! Exchange rate was 1000 rupiah to R1 so you do the math! In Amed I had a massage every day! Ubud was a bit more expensive but not by much. Renting a scooter for a day cost us R60 in both Amed and Ubud.
We had one day of doing the tourist thing, stopping at the Mount Batur volcano, visiting the Tirta Empul holy spring and tasting the most expensive coffee in the world - Luwak coffee.
This was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks to all who shared this special holiday with us. We met as strangers and ended the trip as friends, each of you made the trip special in your own way. Well done to Tracy, Dave and Urban Dive for making the trip possible. Arrangements and organization were superb, our local representatives so helpful and willing to share knowledge of the culture, religion and life in Bali.read more
