The reef of Sanur is a largely underestimated and overlooked area for Scuba diving in Bali and not many divers go there. Depending on the tides and some other factors, the visibility can range from fairly good to quiet low and moderate current can occur. The reef is slowly sloping down and best from around 7 - 20 metres, a sandy bottom with many small coral boomies and a great variety of marine life. Some things that can be encountered here are: Nudibranch, Octopus (occasionally blue ring), Shrimp, Lobster, Reef sharks and much more. You will dive from a local boat (Jukung) or with one of the Sanur dive operators boats.
