Tanjung Sari is a premier dive destination located in Bali’s Lombok Strait, offering exceptional underwater experiences for divers of all levels. This site features dramatic underwater topography with steep drop-offs, vibrant coral gardens, and nutrient-rich waters that support abundant marine life.

Divers encounter spectacular scenery including colorful soft and hard corals, pristine reef formations, and impressive rock formations. The marine ecosystem is diverse, featuring reef fish, angelfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, nudibranchs, and occasionally larger pelagic species like trevally and sharks.

Depths range from 5 to 40 meters, accommodating both recreational and advanced divers. The site suits intermediate to advanced divers due to potential strong currents flowing through the Lombok Strait, which deliver plankton and attract larger marine animals. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 meters, depending on tidal conditions.

The nutrient-rich waters make Tanjung Sari an ideal spot for macro and wide-angle photography. Best diving conditions occur during the dry season, offering optimal visibility and manageable currents for exploring this dynamic Bali dive site.
