A bay that provides shelter from currents, but can be exposed to swell when the waves are big. There is a LARGE CLEANING STATION FOR MANTA RAYS in the middle of the bay, only about 3 to 10m deep. Most divers wait at the cleaning station however manta rays can be seen being pretty much anywhere and in great numbers too. Heading slightly deeper there is a sandy flat at about 25m in the middle of the bay and on the western side the topography is really interesting with large boulders and some swim throughs. This site is further away than most other sites, but the MANTA RAYS here tend to be slightly larger. Scubalio the manta ray adopted by Bali Diving Academy through Marine Mega Foundation was spotted here already several times. 

The dive is over a very gently sloping reef that ranges from 3 m – 20 m in depth. The reefs are a really interesting mix of branching acropora corals, large sponges and soft corals. There are a few large bommies to look around, this dive site lends itself very well to diving in stronger currents but it is also a great site where many small animals are hiding around the reef. Here your diving is like in an aquarium, where hundreds of anthias, fusiliers and damselfish can be seen, angelfish, as well as very large blue spotted and Star puffers. This is also a very good place to see flabellina nudibranchs.

This is a dive site for experienced divers who are comfortable in strong currents. The bottom is around 40m and flattens out with sandy patches, stretching away from the reef. Strong currents are regularly experienced here which provide the best conditions. A shallow shelf initially that quickly drops down to a small flat around 20m, then another drop off to 35m – 40m. There are many overhangs, big rocks and gullies to shelter from the current to see large pelagic animals. Often seen are large turtles, eagle rays, marble rays, tuna and even the Mola (Sun Fish). Large schools or sweetlips and fusiliers can be seen, as well as shoals of bannerfish. The topography is really interesting at this site, providing plenty of space for animals to hide away.

There is a large sandy flat inside the bay, with a beautiful soft coral garden in the shallows and a series or large coral bommies too. The sandy flat turns into a valley that stretches down from about 8m to 40m, with healthy corals on both sides, stretching down from about 8 m. to 40 m. On the sand there are flounders, boxer crabs, snake eels, garden eels and sometimes squids and octopi. Over the corals are large shoals or anthias, damsel fish and goat fish. Deeper on the slope frog fish and sometimes seahorses can be found, along with different species of pipefish. Just outside the bay is one of the better places to see mola mola in the right season.

One of the best sites for hard coral cover and one of our favorite sites! At the south end of the site there is a great wall and slope, with some of the best hard coral cover available. As the site moves north, there is a large plateau with big fields of branching coral and soft coral. The edge of the plateau has very good hard coral cover again.
What Will You See? ToyaPakeh has a bit of everything, ranging from the small to the very big! In the reef you can find frog fish, nudibranchs, small shrimp and crabs, moray eels and scorpion fish. Just off the reef are normally very large shoals of fusiliers, surgeon fish and red tooth trigger fish. There is also a large shoal of giant trevally that is resident here, so keeping an eye on the blue is a good idea! And remember to always look out as well, you never know what is going to pass by in the channel.

A little bit further along the north coast form PED and SD, Sental offers a slightly different type of reef. There are more sponges here, ranging from blue tube sponges to large barrels sponges, which makes for a very interesting reef. The current can change direction here sometimes, but less so than SD.
What Will You See?  The reef is particularly good from 15m and deeper where sometimes giant frogfish can be seen and other cryptic animals.
