Reporter and Travel

Dive Experience Over 1000 dives
Where else diving All over the Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida, Hawaii, Socorro, Cocos Island, Fiji, Solomons, Indonesia
Closest Airport Denpasar, Bali Getting There From Orlando Florida to Dubai to Denpasar, Bali, with Emirates Air. No premium economy with the planes available. Flight to Dubai about 14 hrs, about 9 houre to Bali. We had been taking Korean Air to Seoul, from Atlanta, then to Bali, in the past. trip still takes almost 42 hours either way. the older you get, the harder. Economy was miserable, but Business class was $26k.
