Gozo or Bali – Here are some facts
We often talk to our travelers about what to choose—Gozo or Bali? You could say that Gozo is an excellent place to start diving, but so is Bali—and both places are fantastic for diving, even if you are an experienced diver, so what should you base your choice on?
It often depends on what kind of vacation you dream of. Gozo is manageable, quiet, and full of Mediterranean charm—a place where children quickly settle in and where you can do everything at a relaxed pace.
Bali, on the other hand, is exotic, lush, and full of color, fragrance, and life—here, underwater adventures are combined with culture, nature, and warm smiles everywhere you go.
Common to both destinations is that you get safe, family-friendly experiences – with diving directly from the coast, professional instructors, fantastic places to stay, and plenty of time to just be together.
We have compiled a number of practical and inspiring facts to help you choose what best suits your next family diving trip.
Enjoy – and who knows, maybe it won't be a question of Gozo or Bali, but rather Gozo first... and Bali next time!
