R I ULAR SENDOK - Bali

The R I Ular Sendok wreck is a proper deep dive, and one we always enjoy when we’re in Bali and looking for something beyond the usual suspects. This isn't just a pile of metal; she's a substantial motor vessel that went down decades ago, and the sea has done a remarkable job of reclaiming her. We love how the hull is draped in soft corals, purple and orange, with schools of bannerfish fluttering like curtains along her structure. Dropping down, the sense of history is palpable, even at 36 metres. We often find ourselves drifting over the main deck, peeking into cargo holds where big groupers often lurk. It’s a site that rewards careful exploration rather than just a quick swim-through. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs on the encrusted railings, and if you hit it right, you'll see barracuda circling in the blue. This site suits experienced divers comfortable with depth and who appreciate a wreck that truly feels like part of the reef now.
