Bali, is an unmissable dive destination. Again the answer lies in the
variety of its attractions. Many dive locations in the North of the
Island offer sheltered diving in gentle conditions; in many cases
easily accessed from the shore. In other locations the strong currents
provide exhilarating and challenging opportunities for drift diving.
The strong upwellings from the exceptionally deep channels around Bali
provide a rich feeding ground for the marine life, which is abundant,
and ranges from spectacularly beautiful and rare macro species through
to the huge mola mola or oceanic sunfish.
Bali is in fact one of only two locations in the world where sunfish
can be predicted to appear at certain times of the year. Seeing these
giants of the ocean hanging in the current, being cleaned by shoals of
Moorish Idol, is indeed a memorable sight. Very little is known about
these creatures. The mola mola visiting Bali have been included in
ongoing research to try to establish more information about these
gentle giants. The sunfish are most frequently sighted around Nusa
Lembongan, Cenningan and Penida, but can also be spotted on other dive
sites around Bali.
The strong currents also provide an ideal environment for sharks, which
are often sighted (and particularly so) on Balis East Coast. A variety
of rays can also be seen including the largest of the rays, the manta.
Nusa Penida is particularly popular with divers who wish to see the
manta rays, as there is a resident group there.
Many interesting and unusual species make Bali their home. Cuttlefish
and octopus can be observed at the divers leisure in some of the
shallow and sheltered sights on the North East Coast. Crocodile fish,
leaf scorpion fish and a fantastic array of nudibranchs abound. Stately
Napoleon wrasse and groups of bumphead parrotfish are highlights, as
are mantis shrimp, blue ribbon eels, pygmy seahorses and ghost pipefish.
The list of reasons to dive Bali goes on and on. The fact that it
possesses one of the worlds most accessible shipwrecks - the SS Liberty
is just one more. This large war victim is just metres from the shore.
The ship was torpedoed in 1942 and after it was rescued it was beached.
The unfortunate ship remained on a stretch of Balis beautiful coast
until Gnung Agung, Balis biggest volcano, erupted in 1963. The Liberty
crashed beneath the sea during the eruption and now sits on a black
sand shelf that slopes from about 6m-30m. The wreck is vast, perhaps
120m long and lies parallel to the beach. It has become one of
Indonesias most beautiful artificial reefs.
