Candi Dasa and Padang Bai
Amuk Bay, with the villages of Padang Bai in the south and Candi Dasa in the
north, is about 6 kms across and located along the south side of Bali's
eastern point. Close to Candi Dasa there are two larger islands, Tepekong and
Biaha, as well as an area with small rocks called Mimpang or Batu Tiga.
White Beach (No. 1) (Bias Tugal) lies south of Padang Bai.
Padang Bai Channel (No. 2) This dive site lies about 100m from the shore in
the area where the ferries leave for Lombok when they cross overhead during a
dive, it can be very noisy here indeed.
Blue Lagoon (No. 4) (Tanjung Sari)
Mimpang (No. 5) is also called Batu Tiga (three rocks) although there are
actually 4 small exposed rocks that come to the surface, on the center rock
there is an eagle nest.
Gili Tepekong (No. 6) (the Goat Island) is only about 50m long and not very
wide with deep waters on all sides. Off the southwestern tip of Tepekong is a
well known dive site.
Gili Biaha (No. 7) (Likman island): There is a blowhole which spouts jets of
water, so Biaha looks like a large whale! |
