This dive site
is located on the Coast of North Bali. It is very close to Amed, for those of
you that are not familiar with the area. It is a 120m long wreck that lies at a
90˚ angle with its deck facing out to sea.
The wreck was
pushed into the water in 1963 when Mount Agung erupted. The lava flow pushed
the wreck to depths of 3-29m.
It is an amazing
dive site with many varied species of fish, coral and vertebrates.
The Gili Islands
is where I first learned to dive. I have done both my Open Water and Advanced
Open Water dive courses there.
All around the
three islands there are all different kinds of dive sites. Ranging from flat,
little to no current dives to great coral walls where all you have to do is sit
and enjoy the show while you get dragged along by the current.
These islands
are great for divers with any level of experience.
Blue Lagoon is in
Padang Bai, which is sort of East Bali. It’s a five-minute boat ride from the
beach to the dive site that is directly in front of a cliff. There are large
patches of coral all around and a few bio reefs. You might even be lucky enough
to see a few black tipped reef sharks while you’re there.
Also for those
of you that don’t like to dive or get wet, there is a tourist submarine company
that take you down to the reefs below for an underwater experience without even
getting wet.
I have only ever
dived Menjangan once. But when I did I saw some really amazing coral reefs and
a large variety of beautifully coloured fish.
It’s around a one-hour
boat trip out of Pemutaran, which is in North Bali.
Pemuteran is in
the North of Bali. With bio reefs all around I’m sure that within a couple of
years there will be coral all around.
Great for
inexperienced divers and those of you that don’t like too much current
Nice one. My favourite dive spot is Menjangan although i have dived in Tulamben. I saw a shark in Tulamben on my practice dive where we had to do tests like cleaning the mask from fog.
