About this site

Batu Niti sits on a reef off the coast of Bali, Indonesia, reaching a maximum depth of about 18 metres with light current, making it a beginner-friendly dive. The reef holds barracuda, batfish, frogfish, ghost pipefish, harlequin shrimp, mimic octopus, mola mola, and nudibranchs. Divers have also reported bumphead parrotfish, fusiliers, garden eels, hairy frogfish, lionfish, octopus, sea turtles, snappers, trevally, and wrasse here. The mix of small critters alongside the occasional mola mola sighting gives the site a reputation among Bali's easier reef dives for both macro life and larger surprises.
