I dived in Candidasa in early August this year. The dive was great, I saw a mola-mola, white-tip reef sharks and turtle here. There was also schools of snapper swimming around. There’s an abundance of fish. However, the current was really strong, most of the time I felt as though I am sitting in a washing machine, being pushed and pulled around. I was lucky to have an experienced dive guide with me. Also, please bear in mind that the water here is quite chilly in certain places, I had a 3mm wetsuit on me, still it felt cold most of the time.
Do you have any dive shop recommendations for Candidasa?
shangrila dive centre located at Bali palms candidasa best dive master in the area with over 2000 dives. best rate and best hotel rates.
Altough not very famous, sites here are super beautiful. Maybe it’s so beautiful beacause it’s not so famous, and only reserved for experienced divers.
Coral here has so divers shape, and you can spot turtles, sharks, molamolas.
Got to manage yourself in strong currents that can’t be resisted, prevent or escape early from getting caught in dangerous conditions such as down currents(bubbles or buddies going down), swell in caves.
Can’t forget Mimpang and Tepekong forever..
I dived there in the early ’90s. I don’t remember the details, but I do remember it was pretty good.
