Dive in Menjangan - a remote coral wonderland in BaliLocated in the North West of Bali, where the Bali Barat National Park overflows with underwater treasures in idyllic landscapes, such as white sand beaches, turquoise water, and a view over the neighbouring volcanos of Java. There are many dive sites around the island of Menjangan.
Nestled off its northwestern coast, Menjangan remains one of Bali’s most underrated dive destinations. Menjangan is part of the West Bali National Park, Indonesia’s oldest national park: its reefs have been protected for over a century.
Menjangan ranks among Bali's best dive sites, boasting colourful giant gorgonians, pygmy seahorses and clownfish. The island’s calm waters and shallow reefs provide ideal conditions for beginners, while its deeper walls are all about drift diving for advanced divers.
On the Menjangan dive sites, walls go from 10 to 26-60m+ and are full of nooks and crannies, overhangs and crevasses with soft corals, sponges, and Bali’s highest concentration of Gorgonian seafans (some with pygmy seahorses). The fish life is prolific and turtles are regular visitors.
Although Whalesharks may be sighted, pelagics are fairly rare here as the island is protected from the cold ocean currents felt at some other Bali dive sites.
Visibility here is so good that it can often reach over 50m, and sea temperatures are quite warm at 28-31°C.
Dive in Tulamben - Due to its location, Tulamben Bay is situated in the world’s richest marine bio-geographic zone: The Indo-Pacific.
The USAT Liberty Shipwreck
Possibly the world’s easiest wreck dive and definitely Bali’s most popular dive site. Built circa WWI, this 120m cargo ship was equipped with guns for WWII. The Liberty was torpedoed by the Japanese off the coast of Lombok. Although attempts were made to tow the ship to north Bali, it was taking on too much water and therefore was semi-beached at Tulamben.
During the last eruption of Mt Agung, Bali’s highest and most sacred mountain, the earth tremours roched the boat down the beach and into the sea.
The USAT Liberty Shipwreck lies a mere 30m offshore, and almost parallel to the beach, making it suitable for all levels of certification and experience. The shallowest part of the wreck where it touches the sand slope is at 5-10m while average depth along the middle is 16-20m.
The lower edge of the wreck, the furthest down the slope, is 20-28m at high tide. The wreck is pretty broken up, no penetration possible. But you can still see the guns, toilets, boilers, anchor chain, etc. A truly lovely dive site!
Amazing Variety of Fish Life
You may see minute anglerfish, neon nudibranchs, various ghost pipe fish, and shrimp/goby pairs as you swim past areas of Garden eels and multi-coloured clouds of anthias and damsels. Encounter the resident Great barracuda, Giant groupers, batfish, and schools of sweetlips, batfish, fusiliers, butterflyfish. The variety is amazing!
Then there are the invertebrates, the hard and soft corals, black corals, sponges with crinoids, sea fans, tunicates. The list goes on.
