Dive-site story
Menjangan Island sits inside West Bali National Park, offering dramatic vertical wall diving shielded from the strong ocean currents common elsewhere around Bali. Vast gorgonian sea fans cling to the drop-offs alongside overhangs, swim-throughs, and sandy shelves. Calm surface conditions make the area a cornerstone of diving in northern Bali.
