Andy:  Bali is a fabulous place for a honeymoon, one of the most beautiful
places I have ever visited. Spend some time in Ubud, gorgeous small hotels
and great cultural events.  Re: diving I would strongly reccommend diving
Menjanen Island on the Northwest tip of Bali.  A truly world class dive
site. In Bali/Lombock many of the reefs have been dynamite fished and lie
in a mass of coral rubble.  If you dive Menjanen Island choose your dive
center very carefully.  We used Malibu Divers which is a Padi dive centre:
their rental equipment and safety procedures were TERRIBLE.  Enjoy Bali...Bill
