• Shallow offshore reef (max. 25 m), reef pile, small steep wall

Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon is a beautiful and easy dive site, just a few minutes from the beach and offers some of the best macro diving in Bali. Many fishes swim around the wall in the north of the bay and fantastic and colorful creatures frolic on the sandy slope next to it. From beginner to professional divers, there is something here for every experience level.

Tanjung Sari
This dive site is located at the southern end of the Blue Lagoon and stretches along the headland that separates the lagoon and Padang Bai bay. Due to the exposed location, currents can come up here, making the chance of seeing large schools of fish and reef sharks high! On the reef pile, beautiful small rock formations provide shelter for moray eels, reef sharks, squid, and lobsters.

Bias Tugel
With one of Bali's best soft coral gardens, the shallows of Bias Tugel (located just off White Sand Beach in Padang Bai) are covered with some of the largest and most colorful leather coral you'll ever see! The sloping reef goes down to 50 meters and consists of many large bommies holding tiny glassfish and the occasional shark and turtle. If you follow the slope down into the depths, you will find several horizontal cracks where there is always something to discover. With luck and a good eye, you can find pygmy seahorses between 20-30 meters deep in the gorgonians.

Ferry Channel
The dive starts just outside the bay in Padang Bai in the ferry channel, built for shipping traffic to Lombok. Immediately after the descent, you will find horizontal crevices at 14 - 18 meters depth, where whitetip reef sharks and lobsters reside. A little deeper, there are some coral reefs, including a cleaning station for giant moray eels. A huge gorgonian at a depth of 24-26 meters points the way toward Blue Lagoon.

Tanjung Jepun
The dive site Jepun is a bit more east than Blue Lagoon and is suitable for divers of any experience level. An artificial reef, including a small shipwreck at 18 meters depth, offers both the beginner and the experienced diver a lot to discover! The shipwreck was sunk in 2008 and is now beautifully overgrown! Very often, we meet stingrays or reef sharks, which make themselves comfortable under the shipwreck.

Leaving the wreck behind, you dive along an artificial reef in the 12 - 16 meter range past beautiful formations where there is plenty to discover: lionfish, scorpionfish, cuttlefish, batfish, blue spotted rays, flute fish, ghost moray eels, nudibranchs, seahorses, pegasus, and much more.
 

Livingseas Coral Restoration Site
Before 2019, the dive site Baung Penyu was a sad-looking place underwater, covered with dead coral rubble without any fish. In mid 2019, the Livingseas Coral Restoration Project was started. With over 3,000 reef stars installed on the seabed over the past few years, the restored marine ecosystem now covers more than 2,000 square meters.

Within a few years, we have restored a new marine ecosystem with fabulous biodiversity from a desolate desert landscape. Moray eels, turtles, octopuses, and cuttlefish have found a new home here. Predatory fish are also frequently spotted, which is a sign of a very healthy reef.

Gili Mimpang
Mimpang is one of our favorite sites, with steep walls on one side and a sloping plateau on the other. The walls of Gili Mimpang are famous for sharks and mola molas (seasonal), as well as schools of fish and turtles. The sloping reef is covered with hundreds of meters of branching coral and millions of reef fish.

Gili Tepekong
Tepekong is bordered on one side by a wall that drops beyond 60m. You will find frequent resident sharks, and the occasional Mola Mola. This dive site is also subject to strong currents depending on the moon phase and tides, so the fish life is fantastic!

There are some dive sites around the neighboring island of Nusa Penida. The most famous is Manta Point, where you can admire giant manta rays up close, Crystal Bay with crystal clear water, and a famous Mola Mola cleaning station. Less known is the north coast with its coral diversity. These are mostly pleasant drift dives where you can let these impressive underwater landscapes pass by like a movie.

The USAT Liberty in Tulamben is the most dived shipwreck in the world. Most wrecks are very deep and difficult to access. The USAT Liberty was pushed to the beach in Tulamben during World War 2, and that's where Gunung Agung pushed it back into the water during an eruption in 1963. At a depth of 5 meters, you can already see the majestic stern of the boat. The bow lies at a depth of 28 meters, completely overgrown with corals, reef fish, and turtles.
