For diving and snorkelling, we are lucky to have world-famous sites to offer, renowned for their amazing coral and marine life. Other dive-centres in Bali drive for hours to bring their guests to these sites - but right at our doorstep is the fantastic Menjangan Island, with it’s  unspoilt coral reefs and hugely diverse marine fauna. The island has the best coral growth in Bali, and as it a marine reserve the protection regulations help keep it unspoilt! With about 5km of coast, which leads directly into one of over 20 dive-sites, you can dive dozens of times here without repetition.
Just around the corner is another world-famous site - Secret Bay, offering muck dives of the finest kind, with an amazing amount of rare and unusual species to be found which make this region a dream for macro photographers.

We at Topdive actively support conservation efforts at a local and international (internet) level. Locally we keep up pressure on the Boatsmen to not use their anchors on Menjangan (which is not allowed anyway!) and to try to ensure good education of the local Snorkel-guides and Dive-guides to ensure they also tell their guests -
DON’T TOUCH THE CORAL!
On the internet we support the campaigns to stop shark finning, manta fishing and other environmental groups trying to save our oceans from over-fishing and all other abuse. You can also help, by informing yourself and signing online petitions - it’s free and it’s easy! We would be pleased if you would go to our “Links” page, and catch up on how you can make a difference to our oceans.
