Hola amigos,
Is it sensible to try to visit, in just one month, traveling by land and not rushing like a mad mosquito, the following?

Yogyakarta (mainly for Borobudur & Prambanan), mount Bromo independently, part of Bali (Ubud as a base) and a piece of Lombok (Gili Air and Meno included). I love snorkelling; tell me one spot with good coral reef, just one please, I shouldn't miss in this itinerary.
Muchas gracias

Easy, not rushed at all.
Pulau Menjangan off NW Bali is probably the best place to snorkel.

Laszlo took the words right out of my keyboard.

If you are coming from Bromo you can go overland to the ferry, over to Gilimanuk, take a bus or bemo to Pemuteran. Overnight there and get snorkel boat to Menjangan. From Pemuteran shore you can also snorkel the bio-rock project with good coral too.

Thanks both of you. Will follow your suggestion.

snorkeling around Nusa Penida/Nusa Lembongan is a nice option as well, good corals and the (pretty good) chance to see manta rays. This isn't snorkeling right from the shore though, you'll have to take a boat trip (same goes for Pulau Menjangan). Pulau Menjangan has nice snorkeling also, but if I had to choose one place on Bali I would go for Nusa Penida.

Gracias Shr01,
I will take good note of this information, and, once there, see wich place is more accesible, "cheaper" and closer to where I am moving through.
