Dive-site story
Situated along the northeast coast of Bali southeast of Tulamben Bay, this site features a steep reef slope interrupted by sandy gullies and large volcanic boulders encrusted with gorgonian sea fans. Typically reached via local traditional jukung outrigger boats, it offers an uncrowded alternative to the nearby wreck sites. Clean oceanic water frequently sweeps across the promontory, delivering schooling pelagics alongside macro critters dwelling in the sponge formations.
Extensive sea fan forests and massive barrel sponges clinging to volcanic lava ridges
Schools of jacks and fusiliers aggregating in open water off the reef crest
Sheltered sandy channels where nudibranchs and flatworms congregate on detritus
