Why Candidasa is a Hidden Gem
Unlike the crowded tourist spots in the south of Bali, Candidasa remains a peaceful sanctuary. But underwater, it is a completely different story. The waters of Amuk Bay offer thrilling currents, incredible marine biodiversity, and some of the healthiest reefs in the Coral Triangle.
The Famous Three Gilis: Mimpang, Tepekong, Biaha
These three rocky islets are the highlights of diving in Candidasa. Here, you have high chances of spotting white-tip reef sharks, barracudas, and massive schools of fish. During the season (July to October), the famous Mola Mola (Ocean Sunfish) rises from the deep trenches to be cleaned by bannerfish.
Keep in mind that these sites are best suited for experienced divers due to currents, but the rewards are absolutely breath-taking!
