pety reef - Bali

Seamount offers a different feel from some of Mafia’s inner reefs. Here, you descend onto a series of rocky outcrops, cliffs, and sand channels, with corals growing well. We’ve seen big schools of surgeonfish and unicornfish here, sometimes so dense they create a shimmering wall. Keep an eye out for tuna and trevally cruising in the blue, and don’t forget to peek into the cracks for smaller critters. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, peaking around 22 meters, making it quite accessible for many divers.
