Scuba diving in Candidasa is simply amazing! The best dive sites are around the three small rocky islands of Gili Tepekong, Gili Biaha and Gili Mimpang. Many people say this is THE best diving in Bali! And the visibility is often excellent. These islands are famous for the Sharks such as whitetip and blacktip reef Sharks.
There are also regular encounters with the giant Mola Mola also called Oceanic Sunfish during the right season (August to October). The coral is so superb and very healthy.
Most of these superb dive sites are reserved for experienced divers only who are accompanied by an experienced guide! These Islands are located in the Lombok Strait and the current can be fierce and tricky with up and down water movement. There is a real risk of being swept away into the open sea if you don’t treat these dive sites with respect and follow the precautions.
In this area, you can also find one of the best muck dives, where you will see a lot of different weird critters that you don’t often see on the reef dive.
To explore this dive area, you will start from Padang bay. The boat will depart from this area and ride you to all those dive sites within 20 minutes.
