About this site
Bias Tugal lies near Padangbai on the southeast coast of Bali, close to the harbor from which ferries depart for Lombok. The small bay sits along a rocky stretch of coastline facing the Lombok Strait, with several other dive and snorkel sites clustered in the same area around Padangbai. The site has a sand bottom and reaches a maximum depth of around 50 metres, though it's rated a beginner dive overall. Nudibranchs are a regular find here, and divers have also reported batfish, cuttlefish, frogfish, ghost pipefish, reef sharks, scorpionfish, sea turtles, and sweetlips.
