Why dive here
With 515+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, giant moray eels and manta rays - Diving Spot offers some of Bali's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
Diving Spot, despite the rather generic name, is a site we’ve developed a real soft spot for in Bali. It’s a macro hunter’s delight, no question. We’ve spent entire dives here, head down, practically nose-to-sand, spotting things most people swim right over. You’ll find Checkerboard Seaperch tucked into crevices, and we’ve had excellent luck finding Short-head Sabretooth Blennies popping out of the substrate, their little faces surprisingly expressive. The real stars for us, though, are the tiny things. Rosy Frogfish, for instance, are regulars. They just sit there, perfectly camouflaged, daring you to spot them. Keep an eye out for the Lighthouse Lizardfish too, often perched on the seagrass beds of *Thalassia* and *Cymodocea*. It’s a shallower site, which means great light for photography and longer bottom times to really scrutinise every patch of reef. We’d suggest going slow, focusing on a small area rather than trying to cover ground. It’s not about big pelagics here; it's about the intricate, often overlooked beauty that makes muck diving so rewarding. Perfect for the keen-eyed photographer or anyone who appreciates the smaller wonders.
