Dive Kuta Lombok - exiting diving for all levels of experience!
Here in the southeast of Lombok, the water conditions are variable, and occasionally subject to rougher seas. Nevertheless the dive sites in our immediate vicinity are well suited for divers of all levels. The reefs are very intact, and apart from the many colorful reef fish, there is an abundance of macro life, crabs and lobsters to be found. With a little luck, also the one or other pelagic can be found cruising through the blue water!
