Heading to Sanur next month, so great to read your thoughts!
Did you hear anything about snorkeling off the beach at Sanur? Does anyone have any experience diving/snorkeling the three recommended beginning dive/snorkeling sites off of the east side, somewhat near Sanur. Realize the snorkeling is not that good, but just curious if it's something one could do with a simple effort.

Just back from my 1st trip to Bali. It is worth the long long journey. I had 5 nights at Hyatt Sanur and enjoyed it very much. Then we moved to Ubud for 3 nights and 1 night in Nusa Dua.
We didn't do much but still time flew by. Here are some things to note:
Sunset time was around 6pm. I thought this was really early and made the day seem much shorter.
Traffic is a concern if you want to move between north and south side of the island. It would take about 2 hours one way unless it's a weekend or very early AM or late PM.
In Sanur, there are many tour desks on the streets for trip to Nusa L. I am sure you can find diving trips. The boats are located about 10 minutes south of Hyatt.
Jetlag made us get up really early and go to the bed early. This is probably good for diving.
Ubud is great. So much to see and do.
Nusa Dua is all resorts. I much preferred Sanur.

I don't think Sanur is good for snorkeling off the beach. At least in Hyatt, there are water sports guys (not affiliated with the hotel) that would ask if you want to go out for some activity. One of them is glass bottom boat trips. I would think those guys can take you out to the reefs if you wanted to. The cost should be reasonable.
