- Visibility: Low, 6-8 m (can reach 15 m on accasion)
- Water movement: Very gentle current and surge is also here
- Marine life: Limited coverage and few species of coral, but surpringly good variety of fishes (Yellowtail fusiliers, blue lined snappers, bigeyes soldier fish, damsels, basslets, surgeon fish, rabbit fish, groupers, unicorn fish, butterfly fish)
- Diver level: Refresher and open water diver or above
- Access: 30 min from main tourist place; Kuta, Legian, Semenjak, Sanur and 5 to 10 min for Nusa Dua
