East Coast Island

admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:20:43 +0000

These small islands and rocky outcrops lie just a kilometre off the East coast of Bali. 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. Also, you can find majestic underwater rock formations.

Our favourite spot in this area is Gili Mimpang .

Menjangan National Park

admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:19:07 +0000

Menjangan is famous for having Bali’s most beautiful wall-diving. The walls descend to varying depths, ranging from 20m – 60M+. These walls offer the greatest diversity of gorgonian fans in Bali. The sites generally start at around 10m in coral reef flats and then slope down. These flats have experienced some damage due to a number of reasons. This shouldn’t put anyone off as the walls make up for it. Conditions in Menjangan tend to be very gentle with visibility getting up to 50m at certain times of the year.

The reef scenery, coupled with the marine life is perfect for those wanting to get photos. The dramatic backdrop of the walls and plethora of fish life makes is easy for photographers. It is unusual to see many large pelagics in this area due to the island being protected from the cold currents coming in from the sea.

The Eel Garden, Pos II and the Anker Wreck are our favourite spots around Menjangan.

Other great spots will be found on the west part of Bali like PJ, great for muck diving and for numerous encounters with the clever mimic octopus. East from Menjangan, PJ is located between Pemuteran and Lovina.

Very close to Menjangan, Gilimanuk, is home to a secret bay. Although very little coral, full of trash, dirty and shallow, Secret Bay is a jewel for any macro lover. Secret bay is a sanctuary for Bali’s weirdest macro life

Tulamben and Amed

admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:17:09 +0000

The main attraction in this area is the wreck of the USS Liberty, famous for the amazing variety of marine life found there. This is a must-dive site in Bali, and a photographers’ paradise. Other sites include a great drop-off, a shallow coral garden, and a deep coral reef. Tulamben is the best place to night dive in Bali and, being on the East coast, you can take an unforgettable sunrise dive.

The USS liberty dived early morning or during the night, Kubu reef and Batu Kelebit ( the deepest part of the reef ) are our favourite spots around Tulamben.

Amed is a small village located in a peaceful bay, on the North East coast of Bali. Two hours by road, then a few minutes by small local boat and you are in the blue!.
About 20 minutes by road from Tulamben.

Bunutan and Gili Selang are our favouite spots around Amed area.

Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida

admin — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:15:13 +0000

Nusa Lembongan, a small island between Bali and Nusa Penida in the Badung Strait, is the perfect location for a dive trip like no other. With seasonal migrations of the Oceanic Sunfish also called Mola Mola and all year round sightings of Manta rays, this is an exceptional location to see prolific marine life.

Nusa Lembongan is located on the Wallace line. The ocean currents that funnel their way between these islands are rich in macrobiotic life that support abundant coral and fish life in shallow waters surrounding these islands.

The three islands lying off Bali’s South east coast are home to gorgeous corals and prolific marine life.
The majority of diving at Nusa Penida is drift diving and the currents are not always predictable. The majority of sites are for experienced divers although there are a number of beautiful sites for all levels of divers.

Superb mola mola sightings almost everyday during this month around Nusa Penida . We can surely say that these visitors from the deep will be around until early November.

David has captured awesome mola mola footage since the beginning of the season, some are ready to watch in our show reels.
