Ferry Channel

別名： Channel

Ferry Channel lies right next to the narrow channel used by the ferries of Padang Bai, which is why it is one of the least visited sites of the bay. Bottles Up starts the dive outside the green beacon that marks the channel's east side, on a steep slope with horizontal crevices where lobsters and sometimes whitetip reef sharks rest. Bali Aqua dives the deeper slope at 25 to 30 m, looking for giant lobsters, moray eels, ceratosoma nudibranchs and pygmy seahorses on the sea fans. Cleaning stations attract larger reef fish, and turtles appear in the shallower parts. Calm seas and a mild or northward current are needed to dive it safely.
