Temple Point

Temple Point lies along the northeast coast of Bali, in the same stretch of coastline as Tulamben and Amed, an area known for black volcanic sand slopes running down into the Bali Sea. Dive sites along this part of the coast are typically reached by a short boat ride or shore entry from nearby villages. Here the site is built around a wreck, reaching a maximum depth of around 30 metres, with a beginner rating, light current, good visibility, and a wreck bottom. Nudibranchs are common on the structure, and divers have also reported angelfish, barracuda, batfish, eagle rays, frogfish, grouper, leopard sharks, lionfish, mola mola, Napoleon wrasse, nurse sharks, octopus, pipefish, pufferfish, scorpionfish, squid, sweetlips, triggerfish, and tuna around the site.
