putri menjangan 1 - Bali

Spanish Bay Reef is a solid shore dive, the kind we gravitate towards when we just want to get wet without a boat trip. We always aim for high tide here; trust us, it makes a huge difference to the visibility, which can turn murky pretty quickly otherwise. The main draw is a mini-wall, running parallel to the shore, dropping down to about 20 meters. It's not a dramatic vertical descent, more of a gentle slope with plenty of nooks and crannies. What we love about Spanish Bay is the sheer density of the smaller stuff. We've spent entire dives just hovering, picking out critters like the Fine-cirrus Blenny and the Threeline Basslet. You'll find plenty of Grooved Brain Coral and Staghorn, and it’s a good spot to patiently observe Grey Snappers schooling. It’s perfect for a relaxed dive, especially if you enjoy exploring cracks for blennies and gobies rather than chasing big pelagics.
