Crystal Bay Details:
Crystal Bay is aptly named due to its great visibility, the site consists of a shallow bay, which then slides down into deep drop offs with superb coral only matched by equally impressive marine life. The site can offer anything from frogfish to sunfish and beautiful nudibranchs to bamboo sharks.
Crystal Bay, during August until the end of October is a popular place for Sunfish; these breathtaking creatures usually hang in the blue very close to the reef to enjoy their Balinese spa treatment. Divers watch in awe as the cleaner fish peck away at parasites, going in and out of the Sunfish’s’ mouth, ridding it of its irritation.
Crystal Bay Additional Info:
An Advanced Open Water certification or the equivalent, plus deep and drift diving experience is required for Sunfish diving as sometimes it is generally necessary to go down to 30+ meters in challenging conditions.
Crystal Bay Recommendations:
Crystal Bay is great diving all year round! However, if you want to see Sunfish try coming at the beginning of August or the middle of October as at the peak of the Sunfish season there can be up to 30 boats at this site.
