Menjangan Island: Pos 1, Pos 2, Anchor, Wall, Eel Garden and Bat Cave Dive Sites
Type:
Island (~1.5km x 800m), walls, particularly rugged.
Access:
4 hours by car from Padang Bai. Small boats take us over from Bali to the island (25min).
Coral Reef State:
Good variety and a fair number of hard corals, unfortunately some dead coral patches destroyed by either dynamite fishing or damaged by sea stars (crown of thorn).

Good numbers of tropical reef fish and turtles. On occasion sharks, eagle rays and and sometimes whale sharks.
Current:
Slight to Moderate. It is appropriate for all levels of divers.
Visibility:
25-40m (May-October). Very good snorkeling.
Note:
This dive site is far away from Padang Bai. We offer trips to Menjangan island, Pemuteran and Gilimanuk as a two day dive safari only for a minimum of 4 divers.
Highlights:
Overhanging walls, excellent visibility and a very good chance of seeing turtles.
