Why dive here
With 515+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, giant moray eels and manta rays - Blue Hill Dive Site offers some of Bali's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
Blue Hill, for us, is one of those sites that quietly delivers. It's not a big name like some of Bali's other spots, but we always leave happy. The real draw here is the sheer density of macro life tucked among the corals. We’ve spent whole dives in a single square meter, just watching gobies dart from their burrows and nudibranchs graze on the reef. We love the variety of staghorn corals here, they form intricate structures that are perfect hiding spots for all sorts of critters. Keep an eye out for Shimada's and Stobbs' Pygmygobies; they’re often shy, but incredibly rewarding to spot. We've also had great luck finding Rosy Frogfish and Freckled Anglerfish, though they take a keen eye and a patient fin. The False Brown Morays seem to be everywhere, often peeking out from under a plate coral. If you’re into the tiny stuff, Blue Hill is your kind of place. Visibility averages around 15-20 metres, so it’s easy to get close and personal with the smaller residents. This site is fantastic for photographers and anyone who appreciates a slow, deliberate dive, seeking out the less obvious inhabitants.
