Descrição
Diving holiday Bali The small island of Gili Selang lies on Bali’s eastern tip. Seen on a map, it looks inviting however the more exposed areas can have up, down and swirling currents. AquaMarine is very careful when choosing where to dive, using local knowledge, experience, tide charts and common sense. You need to listen carefully to the dive briefing and stay close to your guide underwater in case conditions change unexpectedly. Your dive generally starts on the black sand slope which is dotted with nudibranchs and an abundance of other macro critters including gobies. The slope becomes a healthy, sheltered reef at a mere 4m and is a rich mixture of many, multi-coloured soft and hard corals. Here we expect visibility of 20-25m, although there can be thermoclines meaning water temp can be between 20-30°C. here you will see Yellow margin morays, schooling Big-eyed trevally, cuttlefish, and pygmy seahorses on the Gorgonian sea fans. The interesting and rich sand slope to the north of the island has some stands of hard branching corals and occasional bommies, the deeper areas of the slope are more protected and therefore home to sea fans, soft corals, barrel sponges and coral bushes.
