Why dive here
With 515+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, giant moray eels and manta rays - KM JOURNEY offers some of Bali's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
The KM Journey, a casualty of Bali's notoriously strong currents, isn't just another sunken boat. It's a proper wreck, sitting upright and mostly intact at 21 meters, and we love it for its moody, almost spooky atmosphere. Dropping onto the bridge, you immediately feel the scale of this thing, especially on a day with less than perfect visibility – the bow just melts into the blue. It’s an excellent spot for divers who appreciate the structure of a wreck, those who like to poke around, feeling the history of the steel plates. We always suggest taking your time here, letting your eyes adjust to the low light filtering through the decks. You'll find batfish schooling around the mast, and often, a resident marbled stingray tucked beneath a section of the hull. The engine room is a highlight, surprisingly open for exploration, with a few curious snappers darting between the machinery. Keep an eye on your bottom time, as it's easy to get lost in the details here. The current can pick up, so we’d always recommend hitting it on a slack tide for the most relaxed dive.
