Pulau Dapur - Bali

Looe Key is a special place for us in the Florida Keys. It’s got that classic Keys vibe, but often with a bit more breathing room than some of the more southerly spots. We love the way the reef sprawls out here, giving you plenty of space to roam and explore. On a good day, the water just glows, letting you pick out every detail of the coral heads. You'll quickly notice the sheer number of small fish darting around. We’ve spent ages just watching the Northern Neon Gobies cleaning other fish, or spotting the tiny Dash Gobies peeking out from their holes. Keep an eye out for Whitespotted and Planehead Filefish, they’re surprisingly curious. The reef slopes gently, making it really accessible, and it’s a site we always recommend for a relaxed dive, especially if you enjoy searching for the little things. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a Caribbean reef shark cruising by in the deeper sections.
