Karang Lantung - Bali

Karang Lantung, off Bali's coast, offers a straightforward reef dive. We usually find a good mix of hard and soft corals here, with the usual suspects like angelfish and triggerfish milling about. It's a reliable spot for a relaxed morning dive, particularly if you’re looking for something less demanding than some of Bali’s driftier sites. Good for those days when you just want to get wet and see some fish without too much effort.
