Bali, Indonesia
Bali is probably not new to travelers who like to experience the sea. This is a true destination for those who love diving but get seasick, because usually we have to sail quite far to the sea to dive. But with a diving spot on the island of Bali, you don’t need to travel far and of course you won’t be seasick.
Queensland, Australia
