Dive Information

Dive Overview

Bali is one of the worlds top destinations for Mola Mola and Manta Rays. The Molas and Mantas in Bali are big, huge, giant.

Going to the right dive sites and the right depths can consistently produce larger animals like Bumphead parrotfish, Napolean wrasse, Tuna, skittish reef sharks, schools of jacks, wobbegong, great barracuda, and trevally.

Tulamben, the Gili islands and Nusa Penida all have spots for sightings of these animals.

There are very few Indo-Pacific macro critters that have not been found in Bali. Anilao and Lembeh offer slightly better critter diving, but with the right guide it can still be very good in Bali, and there are good critter sites in all of the major areas of Bali.

Here is a list of some of the marine animals you can likely see in Bali:

• Cuttlefish
• Many nudibranchs
• Seahorses
• Octopus
• Bobbit Worms
• Frogfish
• Ghost Pipefish
• Sweetlips
• Manta Rays
• Reef Sharks
• Mola Molas
• Eels
• Variety of Shrimp
• Schooling fish

For another great macro destination, check out diving in Anilao.
