Sanur Bali Dive Sites
The Underwater World lies + 300 m off
shore from famous Sanur, take a short
ride with jukung or small boatThree
named dive sites exist at the reef in front of Sanur, which are named
"Channel Point", "Penjor Reef" and "Jeladi Wilis". These three dive
sites offer a bit different bottom composition each of them. Although
there is a lot of marine life to see, sometimes the underwater
visibility can be a challenge and currents depending on the tides. Ideal
for beginner and experienced divers who seek adventure not far
from civilization.
Jeladi
Wilis is a simple, gentle dive site that starts around 3m and slopes of
to
about 20m. The current here can on occasion be a little strong so diving
at slack tide is the best time to dive. This site has visibility
ranging from 5 - 15m. It is is easy
to see some interesting corals here that are home to numerous sea
creatures some of which are; nudibranchs,
stingrays, scorption fish, octopus and lots more. 
Channel Point has
to be one of the most commonly dived locations given that it is an
ideal place for dive training. This Sanur dive site is situated in
the channel and has coral reef running along the edge of the channel
which slopes off into a large sandy seabed. We
feel that this is a good dive location for novice divers and refresher
course participants and for those who do not have much time or want to
travel long way. The macro marine life and coral
formations make Sanur's dive sites interesting. Channel Point certainly
does not offer Bali’s best
diving, but if you want a quick and easy dive with interesting things to
encounter, this is the place to visit.
Penjor Reef - The
trip to penjor reef takes only a few minutes from the Sanur shore by
boat, though you would travel much further for a reef with this
quality. There is an abundance of mature and diverse coral and marine
life on this site. It is one of the dives sites that does not need good
visibilty as the volume of macro life is amazing. Some of our previous divers will credit this site as being as good as some of the more famous sites in Bali.
