How about snorkeling in July? Are there any spots that are good for beginner swimmers?

빠당빠당고양이7/5

I heard the sea is nice during the dry season, but I'm worried because I'm not a good swimmer. Are there any calm snorkeling spots where I can enjoy it while wearing a life jacket? I'm also curious whether it's better to go on a tour or if I can go on my own.

July is dry season in Bali, making it really great for snorkeling. With less rainfall and lower humidity, the sea water is clear and conditions are optimal for outdoor activities. If you're a beginner swimmer, it's safest to start at spots with shallow depths and weak currents. Nusa Penida is famous for manta rays, but water depth and currents vary significantly by point, so it's good to consult with experienced local guides to get recommendations for beginner-friendly spots. Among BaliPick's recommended Spots, Agul operates private snorkeling, so keep that in mind. Wearing a life jacket is of course possible, and you just need to enjoy it by not swimming far on your own and following your guide's instructions. I recommend going on a tour. There are two main reasons: first, local guides constantly monitor water depth, currents, and seasonal changes at each point in real-time, so they'll select the optimal point that matches your level, and second, if any problems occur underwater, you can get immediate help. Since beginner swimming ability makes safety most important, this matters. Before booking, let your guide know in advance that "I'm a beginner swimmer and want a calm spot," and they'll prepare the best experience for you.
