Diving Spot

We know what you’re thinking, “Diving Spot? Really?” And yes, the name isn't exactly poetic. But don't let the unimaginative moniker fool you. This particular Bali site, near the Candidasa area, is an absolute cracker for macro lovers and those who appreciate the subtle beauty of a healthy, if unassuming, reef. Drop in and you'll find a slope that gives way to a sandy bottom dotted with rocky outcrops and plenty of seagrass. We love exploring the nooks and crannies here, especially in the late morning when the light really shows off the colours. Keep your eyes peeled for Ostrich Gobies doing their frantic dance over the sand, and we’ve regularly spotted the tiny, jewel-like Seastar Shrimp clinging to their hosts. The Banded Maori Wrasse cruise by, but our real focus is always on the smaller stuff: the Bugeye Dottybacks peeking from crevices and the flash of a Redcoat under ledges. It's a relaxed dive, usually with minimal current, making it ideal for photographers or anyone who wants to take their time and truly observe. If you're after big pelagics, this isn't your spot. But for a delightful hour spent with the intricate small world of the reef, it’s a quiet favourite of ours.
