Big Fins TecDiving - Bali

Big Fins TecDiving is our kind of Bali diving, especially if you’re looking to get a little deeper and escape the typical resort crowd. We don’t just love it for the sheer drop off into the blue, but for the distinct quiet that settles around you once you’re past 30 metres. The reef plate itself is a vibrant colony of staghorn coral, almost a monoculture in places, which is surprisingly beautiful in its uniformity, like a manicured garden. The real draw here, though, is the wall. It’s not just a blank slate; look closely and you’ll find little secrets tucked into crevices. We’ve had incredible luck spotting blotchfin scorpionfish perfectly camouflaged against the rock, and the Palebarred Reefgoby darting in and out of the coral branches. Our favourite find has to be the Cobb’s winged murphydoris, a nudibranch with such an intricate pattern it looks like something from another planet. We’d suggest going early, before any surface chop picks up, as the visibility really shines in the morning light, letting you see the wall’s entire face. This spot is perfect for those comfortable with deeper profiles and keen on macro life in an unhurried setting.
