KUNIA - Bali
Kunia is a wreck site, though it’s less a dive and more a snorkel, given its maximum depth of one metre. It’s actually a treacherous wreck, a boat that's mostly collapsed and broken up in very shallow water, near the surface. We found some small reef fish, but overall, it’s not really worth the effort for divers. Maybe a quick peek for snorkelers if you're already in the area.
