I have many fond memories of Nusa Lembongan. My first trip was in the 1980's. There was no one there when we first visited except for the 3 of us. One shabby looking government run hotel stood on the shoreline. It seemed that no one stayed in it. Most people stayed in a local's house that had been converted to take in tourists when they arrived. We stayed with a guy called Made Teacher.
The tides there blew us away. Dead flat on low tide. Then as the tide rises each set gets bigger and bigger. Shipwrecks was great fun but lacerations was where it happened. Those late drops and tubes that bent around the reef. It wasn't all good times though. Lacerations wasn't given its name for fun. A lot of blood was spilt out there.
I must admit that I get pretty sad when I see the place now in magazines. Cruise boats, pontoons, villas everywhere etc. Such is life sometimes.
