Ombak Dive Resort

Pulau Perhentian


Ombak provides modern digs in Bali-inspired rooms on Coral Bay. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are tiny and management are very helpful. Credit cards are accepted and cash advances are possible. A big draw is the excellent sand-floor, casual, international-cuisine restaurant with house-made bakery items. Divers get good package deals, including free dorm accommodation.
