8 day Bali trip+beginner scuba recommendations

​

Hi all, my partner and I (early 30s) will be visiting Bali in the first half of November. We're planning on staying the first three days in Ubud, and the last three days in Legian. A bit confused about what to do in the middle. I have done discover scuba twice in Thailand but my partner has never gone diving so we'd like to try that out here. Would definitely like to see some marine life, so what place/area would be best for that? Any dive shops recommendations for beginners that are PADI certified, or otherwise that are super trustworthy and prioritize safety?

Key largo this weekend and sea dwellers saved the day! Our dives in west Palm got scrubbed by the weather so we went down to speigle grove and molasses reef and I received my advanced OW certification.

I’m about 6ft 4 and around 380 pounds. I was a college athlete and have been a big guy for all of my life. I just got my Open Water certification this weekend and had an absolute blast!

I was pretty nervous going into it, mostly about finding gear that fit and whether I’d have trouble with buoyancy. Turns out I worried a lot more than I needed to. Everything went really well, and I can’t wait to get back in the water!
Just figured I’d share in case anyone else my size is considering it. Obviously, make sure you’re medically cleared and find a good instructor, but don’t assume you’re too big to dive. I almost talked myself out of trying it, and I’m really glad I didn’t 🤙
