Tranquil Bays & Vibrant Coral Reefs

Immerse in Crystal Turquoise Waters in Padangbai

Located in Manggis District, Karangasem Regency on Bali's eastern coast (~1 hour drive from Sanur), Padangbai is a charming coastal village famous as the primary ferry port connecting Bali to Lombok, Gili Islands, and Nusa Penida. Beyond its harbor, Padangbai is popular among divers for hosting clear white sand bays and thriving coral reef topographies.

Boarding traditional local wooden dive boats right off the beach, a swift 5 to 10-minute boat ride delivers you to calm turquoise waters suitable for all diver experience levels—from Discover Scuba beginners to seasoned macro photographers. Encounter hawksbill turtles resting on coral bommies, cuttlefish, octopuses, blue-spotted stingrays, and whitetip reef sharks.
