WHY DIVE IN BALI?
The greatest charm of scuba diving in Bali is its wide range and variety of dive sites. The dive sites in Bali are made up of shipwrecks, steep drop offs, sandy slopes, coral ridges and bommies, volcanic outdrops, roaring currents and quiet seagrass bays. All that with the colourful and diverse marine life (more than 2500!) are reasons why everyone keeps coming back to dive in Bali.
If you wanted to record all the animals you see underwater while diving in Bali, you will probably need to bring a mini library of marine guide books! Just 5 to 10 minutes boat ride away from our dive shop are Gili Mimpang (Shark point) & Gili Tepekong.
These bali diving sites are the most reliable dive sites to see white tip reef sharks and the Oceanic Sunfish or Mola Mola (during Aug-October). With its ever changing underwater conditions and currents, you just don’t know what you might see here. For the macro lovers and beginners, we have Jepun & Blue Lagoon in Padang Bai (30 minutes by boat) which is a great Bali dive site to spot nudibranches, frogfish, ghost pipefish, manta shrimps, pigmy seahorse which are just a few favourite species of marine life in Bali. Then there is USAT Liberty Shipwreck in Tulamben - the most dived site in Bali which rests at about 30 metres from shore and absolutely crowded with marine live. Photographers adore this site and it’s a great night dive spot as well. If you are into “muck” diving which is becoming an ever popular term, perhaps we could venture up northwest of Bali on a dive safari to visit Puri Jati (PJ) and Secret Bay and finish your dive safari at the well known Menjangan Island for some relaxing, beautiful wall dives. As you can see, you are simply spoilt for choices when it comes to diving in Bali!
ABOUT OUR OPERATION
Our dive operation was started by Graeme Birch, who is originally from the UK and lived in Australia for ten years before uprooting himself to live in Bali in 2004. Graeme has been regularly diving since 1993 where he first received his open water certification in the USA. He has always been passionate about diving since and living here in Bali has pretty much reignited that interest. He is now a PADI & SSI Master Scuba Diver and expert Trainer. Graeme runs the entire Bali dive operation with a dedicated group of professional and experienced Balinese dive crew.
