contact Ron via his email. This is encouraged on this forum for more extensive use, rather than back and forward on forum I think. Just click on his highlighted name and you have to remove no spam at front of his address. He is by all accounts on this forum a wonderful character, well known and a wealth of information. We intend on tracking him down (Ron, are you listening?)at Nyoman's Beach Bar one late afternoon in a couple of weeks (where he admits he haunts most days) to meet the legend in person. This bar is toward the end of the beach path south and where forumites can meet). It is a beach hut. We are hoping to be there on 8/7, so maybe we can catch up. Anyway, re snorkelling at Lembongan, we haven't snorkelled there yet as this is our first time over there, but we have heard currents bad in places, but wonderful in others. You can use them to drift as well. You can hire gear, boat and experienced guide over there. Regarding Bali tours to volcano, Ubud, Safari Park, Kuta, etc, you can get a driver and a car for around 400,000 rupiah (maybe offer more now with fuel increase)a day to take you where you want to go without signing up to VERY expensive tours and locked into stringent times and schedules. Every time you get in transport to get around Sanur, whether it be taxi, van or 4WD, they will ask if you want a driver for your holiday. Better still, you may want to wait and ask Ron, as he probably has some wonderful contacts in this regard. Anyways, if you we don't see you on the 8th, have a great trip.
