Nusa Penida Bali

February 9, 2012 1 comment

Nusa Penida adalah salah satu pulau satelit besar dari Pulau Bali, terletak di Tenggara Pulau Bali. Nusa Penida terkenal sebagai dive spot dan banyak dikunjungi diver terutama di saat musim Mola-Mola, sekitar bulan Juli sampai Oktober. Bulan-bulan tersebut banyak diver akan mendatangi Nusa Penida (terutama spot Crystal Bay dan Blue Corner) untuk berburu Mola-Mola (Sun Fish).

Bali terkenal di kalangan diver karena Mola-Mola nya, dulu aku pikir Mola-Mola hanya bisa ditemui di Bali, ternyata tidak. Para diver tersebut berburu Mola-Mola di Bali karena Bali adalah salah satu tempat di dunia, dimana Mola-Mola melakukan cleaning di dekat pulau (Nusa Penida salah satunya) sehingga cukup mudah bagi diver untuk bertemu dengan Mola-Mola.

Selain Mola-Mola, Nusa Penida juga terkenal dengan Manta Point-nya, terletak di Selatan Pulau, daerah ini cukup berarus (hampir semua dive spot di Nusa Penida berarus kencang). Bila beruntung kita akan bertemu puluhan Manta yang sedang cleaning di daerah tersebut.

Untuk mencapai Nusa Penida kita harus menyebrang menggunakan boat sekitar kurang lebih 60 menit dari Sanur, oleh karena itu banyak dive centre di Bali home base-nya di Sanur. Selain itu beberapa dive centre dari Nusa Lembongan juga ideal untuk diving di Nusa Penida.

Berikut sedikit informasi bagi yang berencana diveINdonesia di Nusa Penida : )

Padang Bai Bali

December 25, 2011 1 comment

Padang Bai menjadi perjalanan diveINdonesia -ku berikutnya; terletak di Kabupaten Karang Asem, masih di Bagian Timur Pulau Bali dengan jarak tempuh kurang lebih 1,5 jam perjalanan dari Denpasar menggunakan mobil.

Padang Bai sebenarnya adalah pelabuhan yang menghubungkan Pulau Bali dan Pulau Lombok. Ada beberapa divespot menarik yang pernah aku selami disini, yang pertama adalah Ferry Channel (daerah ini merupakan jalur kapal jadi kita akan menemukan semacam parit yang penuh dengan coral sampai dengan kedalaman 30 meter, disini aku beruntung bisa bertemu penyu :)

Spot kedua yang menarik adalah Blue Lagoon (spot ini dipenuhi taman coral, banyak ikan coral, sedikit berarus dan bila beruntung kita bisa bertemu hiu). Terakhir adalah Bias Tugel (spot ini lebih cenderung flat dan dipenuhi coral, tidak terlalu berarus cukup baik untuk pemula). Selain itu di Padang Bai juga bagus untuk night dive, disini kita bisa bertemu banyak lobster dan lion fish di malam hari.

Tulamben menjadi pembuka perjalanan diveINdonesia-ku di Pulau Bali. Terletak di Karang Asem, bagian timur Pulau Bali dengan jarak tempuh kurang lebih 3 jam perjalanan menggunakan mobil dari Denpasar.

Tulamben sudah lama menjadi dive spot yang (mungkin) paling terkenal di Bali, hampir semua diver yang datang ke Bali pasti akan mengunjungi Tulamben. Begitu terkenalnya dive spot ini, aku sempat under estimate akan keindahan Tulamben, karena dalam pandanganku dive spot yang sudah ramai dikunjungi orang pasti keindahannya biasa saja. Semua pandangan itu akan berubah setelah aku melakukan dive pertama di Tulamben, begitu banyak ikan dan coral yang indah ternyata : )

Ada 2 spot yang sering dikunjungi di Tulamben adalah Liberty Wreck dan Drop Off. Rekomendasi untuk Tulamben adalah fullmoon night dive -nya,night dive saat bulan purnama :)
