Scuba Diving Menjangan with Crystal Divers

Scuba Diving Menjangan

Scuba diving in Menjangan is a magical experience. Far away from the hustle and bustle of south Bali, Menjangan is an island tucked up in the North. Menjangan which means “Deer” in Balinese is part of Bali Barat National park. Menjangan is a island without any houses, only with a beautiful temple and some deers, which you can see from the boat and visit at the surface interval. The water around the island is calm and clear with a temperature around 27-30 degrees. The conditions are calm most of the time with occasional currents and slight drift. 

Around the island there are a few different dive sites which all starts shallow and have a long sloped coral reef with a depth between 2-5 meters before the wall begins. The wall starts at 5 meters and drops down to 50 meters. At the wall, there are a lot of sea fans, which is good for macro diving. In the sea fans you have a good chance to find pygmy seahorses. The island also has a lot of different reef fish and turtles. Beside the macro life, there is also a good chance to see bumphead parrotfish, napoleon wrasse and blacktip reef sharks.

The dive site is 3½ hours drive from Sanur and then 30 minutes in a local boat. On the drive to the dive site, you will get spoiled with the view of the national park and three famous lakes in the mountain. We will have a coffee break with the view over the beautiful “Twin lake”. Menjangan is a good dive site, if you want to see small and big stuffs, even if you are diving or snorkeling. This trip is possible in one day, but the best way to do it, is on the dive safari or stay overnight.
