It
was in 1978 that Menjangan became Bali's first internationally-known
dive location, located at west part of
Bali Island. Consequently, in older dive guidebooks, Menjangan
is described as having beautiful reef flats. Unfortunately that
is no longer true. On a more positive note, Menjangan is actually
famous for the wall-diving. The walls descend to varying depths,
the shallowest being 26m, the deepest 60M+. The walls offer the
greatest diversity of gorgonian fans in Bali. They generally start
at 10m with the flat coral reefs offering gentle conditions and
lots of sunlight. These are full of medium and small fish. The walls
are full of small nooks and crannies, overhangs, and bigger cavelettes,
crevasses, etc. They are covered with soft corals, gorgonian fans,
sponges.
