TANTO HARI - Bali

Tanto Hari, a carrier vessel sunk in 2014, offers a decent wreck dive off Bali. At 126 metres long, she’s a significant structure sitting upright at 21 metres. We’ve found her to be a comfortable dive, not too deep, making for good bottom time. You can explore the superstructure, which has started to attract some decent fish life – schools of snapper and fusiliers often hang around the bridge. She’s still relatively new as wrecks go, but already home to scorpionfish and nudibranchs, especially in the more sheltered areas. She's an excellent pick for divers looking to get some penetration experience without pushing too hard.
