Jepun (Ferry Channel) Dive Site — Bali

About Jepun (Ferry Channel)

An exciting drift dive through the channel between Padang Bai and the ferry terminal. Despite its unlikely location, this site offers some of Bali's best shark encounters with white-tip and black-tip reef sharks. Strong currents bring nutrient-rich water attracting schools of jacks, barracuda, and occasionally manta rays. The reef features large coral bommies with cleaning stations where sharks come to be serviced by wrasses.
