Tulamben U.S.S. Liberty Shipwreck
Dive this fascinating WO II Shipwreck. Torpedoed by the Japanese in 1942, this complete coral covered wreck offers many swim-throws. Surrounded by thousands of fish. For all diver levels and people who is willing to snorkel. Regarded as "probably the best dive site in the world" (The Independent) There are many other world class Dive Sites in the Tulamben area!

Menjangan Island National Marine Park
With beautiful reefs that plunge straight down into clear blue waters. Fantastic corals, millions of multi colored tropical fish, rays turtles sharks you name it. There are at least 8 different Dive Sites around the island. You can dive here for days! For all divers levels and a great place to snorkel or even just hang out on the white sandy beaches!

Lovina Reef
It is in north bali. Lovina reef is unfortunately not regarded as an interesting Dive Site. Mostly by people who never dove it. It has some interesting newly formed corals. Even a little wooden shipwreck. Lot's of fish! Lovina reef is better at greater depths and therefore a good place for deep divers. Or beginners to explore the very easy and safe diving environment at shallower depths. Very convenient since you avoid long car trips!

Amed
Amed is considered as one of the best dive sites on Bali. Unfortunately it lost a lot of corals due to Al Nino in 1997. Since than the reef has recovered at high speed. It's definitely worth diving here. Especially to see the big fish on Bali. Great drop offs. It takes a boat trip from Amed beach to reach the better dive sites.

Night Diving
Night diving is maybe the reason why many divers dive! It's sounds a bit scary but it's so relaxing. Adventures Night Dives is the best in Tulamben and Lovina reef.
Switch on your torch, stay with your buddy and descend to the magnificent Tropical Marine Night Life! So challenge your self with us.

Secret Bay where under photographers can make nice pictures:

in front of the docking area of Gilimanuk Harbor. Be prepared - you are diving on fine black and gray volcanic sand and rubble and not on a coral reef! This place is a great place for the rare and unusual. This so called muck diving is one of favorite pastimes since we like macro-photography best. Here you find frogfish (where we found species on one dive: A. hispidus, A. striates, A. maculates and A. nummifer), special nudibranchs, ghost pipefish, the rare picturesque dragonet and gobies, several species of sand eels, stonefish and devilfish, mimic octopus and even the Ambon scorpion fish (Pteroidichthys amboinensis), crabs and shrimps and many other critters that like to live on sand. Probably just so some under water photographers can make nice pictures!

See around the pieces of half rotten wood, among the sponges and especially under the garbage (inside the metal drums for example) and in the metal structures put up in several places. These objects act like a small oasis where animals can hide, so they are a good place to find camouflaged animals such as the frogfish or seahorses. We noticed that there are seasonal changes at the Secret Bay dive sites. On one visit a place would be just full with certain nudibranchs on the sea grass, another year only a few could to be found.
