Dive-site story
Deep Reef is an offshore submerged reef ridge off the coast of Pemuteran in northwest Bali. Sloping gradually from a deeper reef top into the sandy channel floor, the site features mature gorgonian sea fans, barrel sponges, and clusters of hard coral formations. Divers typically drift along the reef slope to explore sandy ledges and coral bommies where macro critters and schooling reef fish congregate.
Large gorgonian sea fans harboring pygmy seahorses and longnose hawkfish
Expansive field of barrel sponges and soft corals along the outer slope
Resting white-tip reef sharks along the sandy base of the reef
Schools of yellowtail fusiliers and batfish hovering in the blue
