Exploratory Dive Expeditions to Rote Island as one of Indonesia's last frontiers.
Adventure
The Blue Lagoon is actually a small bay, with a steep white sand beach, located just a tiny bit NE of Padangbai. The steepness of the beach means there are waves, therefore we take a 5 min jukung (outrigger) ride from Padangbai. The topography is not spectacular: white sand bottom, which slopes gradually to 22M, has scattered rocks, soft corals and a huge area of Staghorn Coral.
Little more than a rocky outcrop, Gili Tepekong hosts the most spectacular of the three dive sites a little south of Candi D
The current here can be very strong up/down and surge also can be very strong. AquaMarine is one of only three dive companies to offer trips to Biaha.
This rock is shaped like a banana and is about 4km from Mimpang and Tepekong. AquaMarine is one of the few companies to offer diving here, which is a pity as it offers great diving!
Off the boat to 12m where you see small coral reef and white sand and small wall, max depth 30m. You will see Trumpetfish, during the season (Aug-Sep) Mola-Mola (Sunfish). Current is up/down and sometimes strong surge as you enter.
Manta Point is located in south-west Nusa Penida. It is one of Bali's most frequently visited divesites. This area of the coastline is dramatic limestone cliffs that descend straight into the ocean. The swell can be stupendous, sometimes making entry impossible by mid-morning.
