Blue Lagoon

The white sandy beach and shallow clear blue waters make this an excellent site for both snorklers and divers. Underwater, the bright sand and healthy bommies always offer something interesting; Octopus, Eels, Crocodile Fish and Stonefish to name just a few. Head north and you can find a short but rich stretch of wall. Excellent night diving location.

Jepun to Turtle's Neck

This shallow stretch of coral and rubble always seems to offer some excellent non-fish marine life; sometimes juvenile sharks, sometimes cuttlefish, sometimes octopus. One of the best sites in Bali for a turtle encounter.

Blue Lagoon to Tanjung Sari

Another shallow dive, with vibrant corals leading down to a sandy slope, with colorful reef fish, bright sunlight, and warm crystal clear waters, this is what tropical diving is all about.

The East Coast Island

Where: These small islands and rocky outcrops lie just a kilometer off the East coast of Bali. In good conditions the three in Amuk Bay - Gili Tepekong, Gili Mimpang & Gili Biaha - can be reached in 10-15 minutes by speedboat from Padang Bai.

Highlights: Dive these islands for the best chance of seeing sharks in Bali. Lots of big ocean fish & swirls of reef fish are everywhere. In areas battered by the currents the coral growth is stunted, but still healthy and full of life. In the more sheltered areas the corals can match those of Nusa Penida with majestic underwater rock formations.

Conditions: All these sites are prone to the strongest currents, which can then bring in some chilling water. This can cause temperatures to drop from the usual high 20° C down to the low 20°s. Very often great visibility, with calm conditions in the high tide window.
