EEL
GARDEN
Menjangan Island
90 ft
This site is named for a colony of white garden eels that live in a stretch
of sand at the top of the reef. Perhaps the best feature of this site,
however, is the beautiful wall which plays host to some large gorgonians
and sea fans.
SERAYA
SECRET
Tulamben
15-90 ft
This beach dive begins on a black sand slope. Look for nudibranchs and
seahorses as you make your way down. A cleaning station at about 50 ft
is covered in hingeback shrimp and features a resident moray eel that
likes to put in an appearance. Other attractions include harlequin shrimp,
blue starfish, frogfish, and ghost pipefish.
CRYSTAL
BAY
Nusa Penida
30-90 ft
This drift dive consists of a large stand of staghorn corals, a steep
slope with sponges and whip corals, and a mushroom coral block which provides
shelter to a school of glassfish. In August and September it is frequented
by the gentle, gigantic Mola Mola's.
GILI
MIMPANG
Amuk Bay
60-120 ft
A steeply sloping wall of hard and soft corals is home to unicornfish,
snapper, and butterflyfish. Look for morays, giant clams, and white tip
sharks. This is another site that is frequented by Mola Mola's in August
& September.
