About this dive site

Explore the water around Bali

Here is another set of great dive sites just to the south east of Tulamben Bay. The sites are accessed using a jukung (small outrigger fishing boat) and depending on conditions, which one's we can visit. In one of them you can find a sunken car and some other pieces of artificial reef on the sandy slope – which itself is a natural home to cuttlefish, gobies, Decorated dartfish, Helmut gurnard and nudis. There are some areas of Garden eels too. Another interesting dive site, near the beach, you can find in 3-8 metres of water, a lovely reef with some beautiful Staghorn corals and schools of reef fish. AMD-B dive staff report regular sightings of reef sharks, Bumphead parrotfish, barracuda and turtles. Muck divers will find many nudis and other macro creatures dotted around the black sand slope, together with eels, cuttlefish, Leaf scorpionfish and more. Another dive site, at around 20-30m depth, it's reef becomes richer with a large number of sponges, including Barrel sponges, and is a good place to see reef sharks. Thresher sharks and Eagle rays are (occasionally) seen here. There is a small drop-off with Elephant-ear sponges and hard corals, and some large, semi-resident Napoleon wrasse. Just slightly further round the volcanic spur than Palung-Palung, You can also find two large rocks that lie just offshore. As you follow the sloping reef deeper, the dive site becomes more dramatic. You’ll see three steep ridges encrusted with a wonderful diversity of hard and soft corals, fire and table corals, many beautiful sea fans, and sponges. Between the ridges are channels of grey and white sand that run 25-40m in depth. Here we often see schools of Big-eyed trevallys, while on the sand are Fire dartfish, Gold-specs jawfish, Starry puffers and cuttlefish.
