TANTO NIAGA - Bali
Tanto Niaga is a motor vessel, now a wreck, sitting upright in just 11 metres of water off Bali. It's a great spot for newer wreck divers, or those looking for a longer bottom time without deep decompression limits. The ship itself is fairly intact, with plenty of entry points to explore the cargo holds and bridge, though we'd always recommend a proper wreck specialty course before venturing inside. Expect to see schools of glassfish shimmering through the darker sections and, if you look closely, lionfish often shelter in the more sheltered nooks. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with mild currents, making it a relaxing afternoon out.
