## 🌊 Southern Bali Waves Reach Up to 4 Meters, Water Activities Require Extra Caution

BMKG Denpasar has issued the latest sea condition warning: from **September 29 to October 2**, waters off southern Bali and the southern Lombok Strait may experience **waves of 2.5 to 4 meters**.

Northern Bali waters and the Badung Strait may see wave heights of 1.25 to 2.5 meters. BMKG advises that larger swells could affect small fishing boats, ferries, and other marine activities.

For travelers, if you have plans in the coming days for:

- Speedboats to Nusa Penida / Nusa Lembongan

- Snorkeling or diving

- Surfing

- Deep-sea fishing

- Other water activities

It’s recommended to check the latest sea conditions with boat companies and activity operators before departure.

**Sunny weather on Bali’s land doesn’t guarantee calm seas.**

## 🪸 Lovina Launches ‘Coral Bank’ Initiative, Strengthening Marine Conservation in North Bali

North Bali’s Lovina recently launched the **Bank Coral** conservation program, carrying out coral restoration and transplantation along the Kalibukbuk–Lovina coastline to improve the local marine ecosystem.

This initiative is a collaboration between PLN Bali and the Yayasan Banyumilir Manik Segara foundation, and encourages local residents, businesses, and tourism operators to participate.

Beyond dolphin tours, Lovina is also a key snorkeling and diving destination in North Bali, making coral ecosystems vital for the future of marine tourism.

For travelers, the simplest way to support this effort is:

**When snorkeling or diving, do not step on coral or take any coral or marine life with you.**

## 🎓 Major Education Conference in Nusa Dua Early October, Around 1,700 Attendees

Nusa Dua will host the 12th KONASPI (National Education Conference of Indonesia) from **October 2 to 4**, with an estimated **1,694 participants**, including university presidents, education scholars, and representatives from related institutions.

The event will take place at the Nusa Dua Convention Center, so expect a higher number of business and conference travelers in the Nusa Dua convention area and nearby hotels in early October.

If you’re staying in Nusa Dua during this time, allow a bit of extra travel time when heading to the convention center, hotels, or nearby restaurants.

This type of large-scale MICE event is now a key part of Bali’s tourism market, no longer relying solely on beach vacationers.

## 🚤 Komodo’s Long Pink Beach Speedboat Nearly Capsized; Captain Admits Anchor Was Already Faulty

Although the incident occurred in **Komodo National Park**, it’s a timely reminder for travelers heading from Bali to Labuan Bajo or arranging Komodo tours.

On September 28, a Makara speedboat anchored at Long Pink Beach was affected by larger waves, causing the **anchor to slip, pushing the boat toward the shore and shaking it violently, nearly capsizing**.

The captain stated that the anchor itself had issues and he had requested replacements multiple times before. Eventually, after another speedboat helped tow it back to sea, all passengers on board were safe.

This incident serves as another reminder:

**Even if the weather at the destination is fine that day, the condition of the boat itself and the actual sea conditions are equally important.**

If you’re planning a trip to Komodo soon, besides confirming entry permits, it’s also advisable to choose a boat company with proper safety equipment, good vessel condition, and a reliable reputation.
