CANDI DASA Underwater Paradise

KUTA WEEKLY
Candi Dasa, the holiday capital of Bali’s eastern coast, is also the island headquarters for diving and snorkeling.
Each year, regardless of the seasons, underwater explorers from novices to advanced are catered for by
sites close to town and nearby on Nusa Penida.
Diving and snorkeling locations include the world renowned US Liberty shipwreck at Tulamben, habitat
for hundreds of recorded marine species and coral varieties and one of the globe’s most accessible wreck sites.
Less than 15 minutes away are the exotically named Blue Lagoon, Jepun, Mimpang and Tepekong islands, sometimes
home to mysterious Mola Mola, or ocean sunfish, sightings of which are treasured by underwater photographers and
the subject of documentaries by National Geographic and Discovery Channel.
