Dive Sites
Pemuteran Dive Sites - A Brief Description of some of the best.
All these dive sites are either shore dives or a 10-20 minute boat
ride from our beach, so you can get plenty of dives and still have
time to enjoy other activities or just relax on the beach during
surface intervals. Being the first dive shop in Pemuteran, we
scouted out most of the established local dive sites. We even have a
few favorites that are still secret - sorry, can't say more about
those on the web, but maybe we'll take you there!
The area has pretty well recovered from the effects of 1997-98's El
Nino conditions. Progress has been good and the outlook for the
future is even better. In fact, because coral "babies" are so
colorful, the reef is looking quite spectacular and improving all
the time. You may have heard of dynamite fishing and cyanide fishing
in some parts of the world: as part of our effort to conserve the
marine habitat, our local friends and we have helped to largely
eliminate this kind of destruction where we are. All of our dive
sites are protected by local marine patrols and a better
understanding of the environment by the local fishermen.
Bali is at the edge of the greatest marine bio-diversity on earth.
You will see this incredible diversity at our dive sites, where
marine life ranges from occasional whale sharks and manta rays to
beautiful nudibranches, flatworms, and glass shrimp. Hard and soft
corals decorate the walls and seabed, and of course there are those
famous clown fish with anemones swaying in the sea. Did we mention
the sea fans, sponges, crinoids, tunicates, turtles, lobsters,
cuttlefish, octopus, shrimp, crabs, jacks, leaf fish, seahorses,
lionfish, pufferfish, sharks, rays, grouper, sweetlips, eels,
pipefish, giant clams, surgeonfish, triggerfish, and wrasse?
(Whatever's missing from the list is our mistake and is not that it
does not live here.) Our seas are teeming with life: you'll see!
