Pemuteran and Bali’s North coast offer such a dramatic contrast to the southern resorts, that a bona fide dive trip to Bali would not be complete without giving the area a few days of your time.

Gateway to the world renowned Menjangan Island dive sites in Bali Barat National Park, the Pemuteran Region is peppered with excellent diving and snorkelling options, many of which are accessible by simply walking out of your resort and stepping aboard one our purpose-built high-speed dive vessels.

This semi remote and relatively unknown area of Bali offers dives that must be ranked among the best the island to offer.

The Pemuteran region boasts 15 dive sites suitable to all levels of diver:  spectacular wall diving of Menjangan Island National Park; rich coral slopes of Pemuteran off shore reefs; or simply snorkelling off our beach on the Biorock® project, just in front of our dive center. Macro lovers will be fascinated by the marine life at Secret Bay on the north-western tip of the island. As well, popular Puri Jati is accessible from Pemuteran.

For certified divers we offer daily diving, with a minimum of 2 scheduled boat dives per day, each guided by an experienced PADI professional.

Our dive vessels depart from our beach to Menjangan Island National Park and Pemuteran's offshore reefs. Shore Dives and Night Dives sites available on request. The “Macro Magic” sites of Puri Jati and Secret Bay are within easy reach. We dive all these sites regularly, providing us with an intimate knowledge of the movements of the myriad of creatures that inhabit them.

Our minimum Divemsater/Diver ratio is 1:4. You cannot safely enjoy and respect the ocean with big crowds!
