Alam Anda House Reef

There is a very good house reef directly in front of the diving centre. No matter, how many times you dive here: even experienced divers will always encounter something new by each dive. A paradise for underwater photographers! We offer 3 different entry resp. Exit points on the house reef. Our guest doesn't carry any tanks to or from these points as the well known Werner Lau tank service is offered here as well. The reef covers the total width of the Hotel area and is a designated conservation area. - The first of ist' kind in Bali. The Government agreed to this wish as an experiment. The fishermen in this area use no nets, cyanide or spear guns. The underwater world here is completely intact. The shallow area, max. depth 6mtrs, stretches until 50mtrs from the beach. If the sea is calm this place is a great snorkelling area. After that, the bottom drops away at approx. 45° to greater depths. This intact reef is alternately made up of coral blocks, small drop-offs, coral plateaus and complete reef walls, overgrown with various kinds of soft and hard corals, gorgonian sea fans as well as sponges. The sandy areas invite you to linger - ideal for macro photographers and beginners. There is a splendid diversity of tropical fish life as well as individual blue-spotted stingrays, leaf fish, moray eels, lion fish, long-nose hawk fish, ghost pipefish, shrimps and several types of sea slugs. Numerous shoals of fish such as barracuda and batfish, as well as a family of napoleonfish inhabit the house reef. Sometimes we even see turtles, passing eagle rays and during the night dives, Spanish dancers can often be seen. Strong currents are rare and the water temperature varies according to the time of year between 27° and 29°C.
