Why dive here
With 515+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks, giant moray eels and manta rays - Lap 2015 offers some of Bali's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, November.
Lap 2015 isn't just a wreck, it's a feeling. We love how this relatively shallow wreck, sitting at just 12 meters, truly feels like a journey back in time. You descend onto what feels like a skeletal hull, almost completely encrusted now, and the silence is punctuated only by the distant hum of your regulator. It’s an intimate site, perfect for divers who appreciate the quiet conversation a historical wreck has with the ocean. This isn't a massive freighter; it's more like a ghost ship, inviting exploration of its corroded beams and the small nooks that have become homes for a surprising amount of macro life. Look closely for the decorator crabs, their camouflage almost perfect, and the tiny porcelain crabs tucked into anemones nearby. We'd suggest going early in the morning, before the dive boats from Candidasa start arriving. The light filtering through the water onto the wreck at dawn creates an almost ethereal glow, and the reef fish, usually fusiliers and damselfish, seem less skittish. Be aware, currents here can pick up without much warning, so keep an eye on your guide and the local conditions.
