Comments We love diving with Sea Rovers. The muck diving in front of the dive shop (with a super easy entry) has great macro/much diving. We have seen creatures here to rival Lembeh Straits in Sulawesi! The dive operator is awesome and all of the dive guides speak English and are extremely helpful. They will point out the odd critters at Mucky Pirate's Bay (in front of the dive shop) as well as take you a bit further afield for diving along the coast or at Menjangan Island. We dove with them in the past and we never a dive trip to Bali without visiting Sea Rovers in Pemuteran. Their personal itinerary was tailored to our needs.

UW Photo Comments All of the rinse tanks are on shore but the boats are fast and it wasn't necessary to rinse on the boat. The rare critters on the shore dives were awesome as was the 'treasure hunting' for them! The dive guides have excellent eyes and it is advantageous to be accompanied by Wayan or one of the other guides, even on shore dives.
