Bali was seemingly created to be a watersports destination without peer. This might possibly be the single most surf blessed island in the world; there are dozens of great breaks almost everywhere you look. This was the first place in Asia where surfing took off, and like the perfect set, it shows no signs of calming down. Surfers buzz around the island on motorbikes with board racks, looking for the next great break. Waves blown out? Another spot is just five minutes away. Feel small as a manta ray blocks out the sun's glow overhead, its fluid movement causing barely a disturbance in the surrounding waters as it glides past. And there's another, and another. Yes, if you prefer to be under the waves rather than on them, Bali is equally blessed when it comes to diving and snorkelling.
