Diving Gamat Bay is like diving in an aquarium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gamat Bay dive site in Nusa Penida is a large, shallow coral plateau between two rocky points, extending downward. This plateau is 6 to 8 meters deep (sometimes a little more at high tide), which is convenient for discovery dives. At the end of the bay there is a wall that goes down to 40 meters. There, a sandbank in the direction of the blue marks the boundary of our playground. Such an amazing playground that everyone diving Gamat Bay should enjoy it !\u00a0 That’s why it is part of our top 20 dive sites in Bali !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea here is to drift along the reef<\/strong>. The site’s topography, marked by\u00a0beautiful coral formations<\/strong><\/span>, contributes to the charm and beauty of this dive. Sometimes challenging, its privileged location offers an experience rich in underwater flora and fauna. From the smallest to the biggest, we frequently observe many species of nudibranchs<\/strong><\/a>, turtles<\/strong>, moray eels, squads of batfish and marble rays<\/strong>, as well as Mola Mola<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gamat Bay is delightful, such a colorful dive site<\/strong>, from its shallow water bay to its deep water wall. There is life everywhere, schools of fish and untouched corals<\/strong>. Its water are unpredictable and bring every time a load of surprises. It is a site that has to be earned. I really enjoy Gamat Bay dive site to improve the buoyancy of my students & teach them the perfect position to adopt when you are drift diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also a great place to try different\u00a0adventures<\/strong>\u00a0during an Advanced Open Water course<\/span>: deep dive, orientation, fish ID, PPB\u2026 Beyond the fact it is a perfect playground to teach, Gamat Bay is also an astonishment for the eyes. I have for proof the big smile on my students‘ faces at the surface, proud to have successfully lived such a challenging & wonderful dive. Without any doubt, a must-do for every diver !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
