SARI AYU - Bali

Sari Ayu, sitting in only five metres of water, is a proper introduction to muck diving, Bali style. This small motor vessel, now well broken up and scattered, provides some excellent habitat for the tiny, fascinating critters we love to find. You’ll spend your dive here scanning for nudibranchs, maybe a flamboyant cuttlefish, and the odd juvenile frogfish hiding among the debris. It’s a site for photographers and those who appreciate the smaller stuff, perfect for a long, relaxed dive when you want to take your time. We'd suggest going at high tide for the best visibility.
