Gili Tepekong "The Bali Dive"

Type: Small island, reef slopes and vertical walls, rock pillars and swim through

Access:15 minute by boat, north of Padang Bai on the east coast

Coral: Excellent coverage of hard and soft coral

Fish: Superb numbers. Schooling barracudas, turtles and much more. A good chance of seeing pelagics species like manta ray and sun fish in season

Current: Moderate to strong

Visibility: 25m+

Note: Around full and new moon only for the experienced diver

Highlight: Magnificent rock pinnacles covered with hard and soft coral and breathtaking walls with sea fans and a kaleidoscope of colorful tropical fish.

the west side of the small rocky island of Tepekong the bizarre lava mass stretches into the deep and forms a small canyon. We follow the inner edge of this canyon towards the west until we reach an twin peaked seamount: The Pinnacles. In general the Pinnacles are exposed to a mild current. This currents can at times get immensely strong and earned this dive site the nickname "The Toilet". Lots of schooling fish are home in this currents and attract pelagic hunters like Tunas, Barracudas and Sharks. The great variety of hard and soft corals provide shelter for many reef fishes like the Angler fish on the picture on the right. Turtles are regular visitors to this spectacular dive site as well as the legendary Mola Mola on the picture below.

The east side of Tepekong consists of a slope rich with hard and soft corals and sponges. Between 18 and 24 meters are coral bommies under which Reef and Nurse Sharks can be found as well as Lobster and Sting Rays. At the southern end of the slope we find a tunnel / cave at 18 meters which exits on the other end at 28 meters in a 50 meter vertical wall.

"The Gili Island" Bali

The three Gili Islands are a small-scale backpacker mecca and Lombok's most popular tourist destination. The islands are very relaxed and laid-back, with countless little beachside cafes playing reggae and serving up banana pancakes, and no cars or motorbikes to disturb the peace. The beaches are without a doubt better than anywhere on Bali or Lombok. The flip side of the coin is that as they exist solely to cater for travellers, they're also rather anonymous (you might as well be at anywhere) and, aside from snorkeling and diving, there's little if anything to do. Note that there are no ATMs on the islands, so bring plenty of cash with you. From west to east, the islands are:

• Gili Trawangan, or "Gili T" is by far the most developed with plenty of backpacker options and one swanky resort. There are no dogs on the island but according to one local, there are more cats here than people. The local population is around 800. There is no police on the island and all problems are usually settled by the local "council".
• Gili Meno, the smallest and quietest, low-key with some simple places to stay.
• Gili Air, closest to the mainland and with the largest local population.

Strictly speaking, the name "Gili Islands" is rather redundant as gili simply means "small island" in Sasak, but the name has stuck and is universally used and understood in Lombok.

There are also some other islands off Lombok called Gili Something, eg. Gili Nanggu and Gili Gede, but these are located to the southwest near Lembar, quite a distance from the "main" Gilis.

Getting There

We highly recommend visitors to use a private transfer service to avoid hussle and bustle at Bangsal (public harbour to gili islands). Local street vendors who try to sells things with pushing and pressure, or those who grab your luggage and ask too much for a porter service could be annoying. Paying a little extra for a comfort and easy settlement for a wonderful holiday break is worth it, especially those who travel with kids. Private Transfer Service includes pick up, meeting and greeting service at the airport/seaport/hotel, land transportation with fully air-con deluxe coaches, private boat charter, and check in assistances at the hote

Accommodations

choices start from beach shacks, backpacker hostels and budget hotels, a large selection of mid range hotels and boutique bungalows, through to resort style hotels and luxury private villas.

Activities

Scuba diving packages from beginner to experienced, snorkeling trips, Sea Kayak experience, golf days, horse riding, wakeboarding, deep sea fishing, trekking Mt Rinjani , Komodo dive trips, dive liveaboards, and
private party nights,

Gili Selang lies at an exposed position right in the currents that flow through Lombok Strait (see Indonesian Throughflow). You dive in a very current-swept area, so this dive is only for experienced divers. This is a popular destination for vacation or traveling especially for live aboard cruises.

Seraya Bali, "Macro Paradise"

Location: Few Kilometer South of Tulamben Bay

Visibility: 5-30m

Depths: 3-25m

Diving Conditions: Normally easy conditions, no strong currents. Can be bit challenging when there is a swell.

Travel time to site: 2.5 hours with BIDP's mini-bus

Underwater Topography: Gentle slope of small rocks and vulcanic black sand.

Marine life: Macro Paradise.. Numorous species of Nudibranchs as well as Seahorses, Ornate Ghost Pipefish (Harlequin Ghost Pipefish), Boxer Crab, Small Murene, Frogfish and sometimes Harlequin Shrimps and More.

Tucked away in East of Bali region only 3 kilometers from Tulamben, Bali North East Coast with its sparkling blue water of the pristine Muntig Bay and under foot of Mount Agung. Many tourist visit there and photographer (professional and recreational) too come on this dive site is known as a "Macro Paradise". Many photographers keep returning to this site regularly. As the USAT Liberty dive site is famous around the world for its easy and extraordinary dive, Seraya is a lot less known. You however will be stunned by the diversity of small marine life and critters at this site. When you bring a underwater camera to Bali Indonesia, this dive site is a must do dive!

Seraya's dive site's profile is a gradually sloping rocky bottom and vulcanic black sand with small oases of corals and sponges. It's a easy dive with access from the beach.

You can find a half round metal cage underwater at this location that is used as a project to grow corals. At this dive site it is easy to make a dive of longer then 60 minutes on one tank, as the average depth to see all the marine attractions can be pretty shallow. An outstanding place to use Nitrox and maximize your time underwater..

Batu Kelebit Bali Scuba Diving

Location: South of Tulamben

Visibility: 5-25m

Depths: 9-55m (30-180ft)

Diving Conditions: Mainly for Advanced Divers. The cold currents can be quite strong here. They occur at the surface and down the slope, but tend to ease into the depths.

Travel time to site: 3 hours by mini-bus, 15 minutes by Jukung (traditional Balinese fishing boat)

Underwater Topography: The reefs at this deep dive fan out into the sand rising only 3- 5 m. from the bottom. Current-fed hard coral growth features acropora and porites species. The striking difference between the virgin sand bottoms and the array of hard corals makes it unique in the Tulamben area.

Just around the corner from Tulamben Bay, there are two large underwater boulders lying just offshore from a point marked by a jagged crest of lava. The dive site is dramatic and consists of steep ridges encrusted with an incredible diversity of hard corals, sea fans, fire coral and sponges with sand patches in between. At this dive site the colour of the sand differs from Tulamben Bay as does the marine life.

In fish and invertebrate life, Batu Kelebit is perhaps even richer than Tulamben Bay. Because of the steepness of the site combined with the structure of the ridges and plankton rich water, you will have more chance to see big pelagic including dog tooth tuna, mantas, schools of barracuda and you will always see white tip reef sharks. Because Batu Kelebit receives deep offshore water, the visibility will be excellent and the temperature a little cold. Current in here usually tends to northwest, however the ridges here provide excellent protection.

Kubu Bali

Located in Central of Candidasa, Kubu is sculpted into the side of a valley scooped out of the mountainside by the same volcanic cataclysm which gave Bali to the world. So this is a great full place for traveling or vacation.

To Kubu we go by our sailing boat CONDOR. After boarding CONDOR we sail for about 1 ½ hours north- west and enjoy the beautiful view of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest volcano. Kubu is a beautiful reef that stretches into the see.

We can dive up to a depth of 45 meters and explore this excellent dive spot. On a depth of 20 m there is a beautiful, large Gorgonian fan and it is most likely to see Barracudas, Napoleon fish, Bump-head Parrot fish, Theira batfish and large table corals.

The safety stop is highly enjoyable since the reef is in excellent condition with plenty of reef fish even in shallow water. Kubu is therefore also a very attractive snorkel site

Pemuteran Bali

Depths: 5 - 40m
Vis: 10 - 30m
Currents: Weak
Best months: Apr to Oct

Pemuteran is a small collection of resorts located on the beach around 15 minutes east of Menjangan Island. The diving here is on 500 meter wide coral covered banks or mounds that go from the sand floor, at around 25 meters, up to about 6 meters from the surface. The three reefs, Pura Tembok, Close Encounter and Napoleon Reef are all located close to the resorts in Pemuteran. The slopes are dominated by soft corals, sponges and sea fans. Close by at 22 meters lies the empty 16 meter long hull of a scuttled dive boat, generously "donated" by one of the local Bali dive operators.

The spot also makes a good night dive loaction. Pemuteran house reef can reward the diver with colorful Mandarin dragonets that can be seen in the late afternoon. This is the time they come out from their hiding places to forage for food. Sometimes shortly before night falls they rise up and do a mating dance together which is truly spectacular.

In 1998 the House Reef at Pemuteran was devastated by El Niño. So three years ago, this reef became the first in Bali scuba diving to be sponsored by an artificial re-generation project fund. Large holding domes were sunk with live coral samples. The reef receives electronic stimulus from shore and responds with remarkable growth rates. The local village have buoyed the area and guard it as a no-fishing exclusion zone, so that fish stocks can re-group too. So far, although still incomplete, the project has proved a well-deserved success. So enjoyed your vacation.

Candi Dasa Bali

Candidasa is a tourist's village, located at Samuh - Bugbug village, Karangasem district. It is about 65 km from Denpasar and 12 km from Amlapura in eastern Bali, is a centre point for trips to all over east Bali, where you can pass the hours with locals on the streets and beaches, or find someone to take you fishing, snorkeling or gambling, and a pleasant base from which to explore the east of Bali, including the nearby traditional village of Tenganan.

Candidasa is derived from 'Cilidasa' meaning 'Ten Children.' It is indicated by a shrine in the eastern part of the village, on a hillside under a cliff, looking out over a spring-fed lotus lagoon emptying into the sea, was founded in the 11th century. At street level is a statue of the giantess Hariti, a fertility goddess, surrounded by her many children.

Candidasa is well known for its shiny white sand. Tourism industry flourishes significantly in this area that background by the Indonesian Ocean. From this place, we will see Lombok Island and Nusa Penida in a distance and the sparkling light of "Jukung" or traditional boat at night that will always draw us to come

Here you will feel at home among the local people, far away from the hectic tourist areas. The local peopke can arrange everything for you, from local transport, trekking in the hills, fishing, diving or snorkling. Candidasa becomes more and more famous for diving. In the village there are several diving schools who can accompany you to beautiful diving spots in the bay of Candidasa. In the village there is a lovely lotus lagoon and there are some fascinating temples for you to visit. Of particular interest here is the Goddes of Fertility statue within the Candidasa temple.

20-metre shipwreck, beautifully coloured wall. Full Moon Night Dive. Great photographic opportunities and colour contr

ast with the black sand. AquaMarine's first choice for our special 1 Day Intro Adventure Diving Program. Great snorkelling site.

CONDITIONS: Black sand slope with a 120-metre shipwreck, coral gardens and a wall. The fist-sized black stones can make entry tricky when there are waves present.

Tulamben is a popular dive site in Bali, especially around the wreck of the Liberty Glo, a US Army Transport ship torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942. It is a very easy wreck dive and may by done by divers of all certification levels. It is accessed directly from the shoreline and located about 25 meters from shore. At it deepest point, it is about 30 meters from the surface and it tops out at about 5 meters from the surface.

The beach is fist-sized black volcanic rocks that become sand in the shallows. This black sand does not provide the reflective properties of white limestone sand and, combined with the amount of plankton in the water, accounts for the relatively low visibility (12-25M). It does however provide a dramatic contrast, which brings out the colours of the corals, gorgonians, fish and other marinelife. The 100s of macro-species that live here both blend and contrast beautifully with the sand.

Lovina Bali

Lovina Beach is a 12 km stretch of coast to the North West of Singaraja in North Bali. It is several resorts rather than one. It comprised of several narrow stretches of black volcano sand. Lovina, like most of Bali, fills up with tourists from all over the world in August. It is a nice break from the bustle of the South.

You can easily get to Lovina by bus from all parts of Bali, but it is along ride from the East or South. Getting your own car with or without a driver ( I don't recomend without!!) is a much easier way to get to the North. Bemo’s are the local public transport buses and they ply all the local routes. Again it is much easier to hire a driver and car for any longer journey. You can travel from Kuta in less than 3hrs and from the airport or Sanur in about 2.30hrs. You will travel through (Pura Ulun Danau), Bedugul and could go the pretty way through Munduk if you are not in a hurry. So you could stop to take in the temple, lakes and rice paddies on your trip and make a day of it.

Air Banjar Hot Springs - Located west of Lovina, Air Banjar (or Panjar) is an enchanting hot springs with stone carved mouths gushing water among a lush garden setting. A nominal entrance fee is charged. Go in the morning if you want some peace and quiet, you will have the place to yourself if you get there before 9am.

DolphinTrips - These trips leave early each morning and are great fun for the kids, despite the critiscism that the boats tend to outnumber the dolphins. Prices are fixed by a dolphin cartel, they are around 50.000 (4 euro).

Snorkeling is possible on the reef just offshore from Kalibukbuk in the mornings around 10am. You will need to hire a boat for this and it costs about 50,000 per head (includes gear). Snorkeling and scuba diving trips leave from Kalibukbuk for Menjangan and other north shore dive spots. There are several dive operators based out of Lovina that operate daily dive trips to Menjanan Island, Tulamben and Amed, as well as night dives from the local shore. "Spice Dive" are based out of Lovina and offer day trips to all of the dive spots on the northern shore. Guides are available in a variety of languages and multi-day discounts are available. http://www.lovinadive.com/" hours="averages" price="US$55-$75 per day.

Bali Sanur Beach

Sanur beach is a long stretch of beautiful white sands lined with palms that shade dreamy footpaths market stalls and relaxed beach cafes. Along the beach are a number of traditional groins complete with traditional Balinese Bale (raised shaded day sleeping and relaxing areas). Most are no longer used although a few are sometimes occupied by the odd fisherman who fish from these waters. The waters of Sanur are protected by a long string of offshore reefs creating large, warm shallow, safe lagoons that are perfectly clear and excellent for swimming, snorkeling and a whole array of water sports. Surfers will be pleased to know that the reefs around Sanur produce some of the best waves in the world in the right conditions although they can be very shallow and dangerous at low tides. There are also plenty of more consistent spots around the area for surfing.

Bali Diving "MENJANGAN ISLAND"

Menjangan became Bali's first internationally known dive spot in 1978. The island in the Barat National Park is surrounded by coral reefs that drop down as deep as 60 meters in places. This spot is most renowned for is wall diving where huge gorgonians can be found clinging to the coral crevices. Pygmy seahorses and morays are often spotted in the cracks and under overhangs along the walls here. Other marine inhabitants include batfish, titan triggerfish and fuseliers. Visibility is usually good here often beyond 20 meters.

Menjangan used to be famed for flat reefs however since the popularity of island has increased more anchoring vessels in the area have caused damage. This coupled with a crown of thorns starfish outbreak in 1997 then El Nino in 1998 which lead to coral bleaching. The reefs today are recovering well and the attractions are now a lot deeper. The island is protected from the cold currents coming in from the open sea so sightings of bigger fish here are rare.

Many divers said that Menjangan Island is the best dive site in Bali. The water is clear and calm with a rich various species of fishes. This makes a certain comfortable sense of diving in this area.
