About this site

Nusa Dua is a barrier reef dive off the southeast of Bali, reached by boat. The coral reef starts at 6 metres and runs to 18 metres, with hard and soft coral growing around it and medium-sized gorgonians.

The view underwater is better than you might expect, with good fish life and plenty of macro marine life. The current is gentle, which makes it a good site for every level of diver and comfortable for a refresher dive. It can also be snorkelled.
