Kubu Bali

Kubu village started as a salt panning and fishing settlement long time ago. But because times they are changing now it makes it’s living mainly from tourism, diving turism precisely. When arriving to Kubu from Padangbai you still can notice on the left side of the road woodpiles which are used for traditional salt extraction. Kubu Vilage is situated in north east Bali only one hour from OK Divers in Padangbai. All Kubu Bali dive sites start straight from beach entry with great coral gardens form from stag-horn and other type of hard and soft coral which serves as home for nice schools of fish. We think that this dive spot has same like Blue Lagoon in Padangbai one of the prettiest snorkelling in Bali.

The Kubu dive site starts already in a shallow area of 3 to 8 m with wonderful coral garden. In deeper parts divers will be able to explore beautiful coral reef full of interesting hard and soft coral formations. Marine life around here is rich and very diverse. On regular dive in Kubu you should be able to see barracudas, turtles, sharks, bumphead parrotfish and the rest of reef fish common to other Bali dive sites. If you let yours selfs to be carried with a common moderate current it will take you to the sharp drop off’s edge with depth of 30 m. It is beautifully overgrown with all kinds of soft corals and any possible species of reef fish can be found there. White and black tip reef sharks swims pass occasionally checking out their feeding ground too.
