Dive & Snorkel
Dropping beneath the surface, you dive into a realm of pure adventure and unimaginable sea exploration. With a mask and your snorkel set in tow, you can experience up close and personal the wonders that the ocean beholds: coral of all shapes, sizes, and colours; vibrant schools of fish swimming amongst majestic crevices; kaleidoscopic aquatic life seemingly dancing to an unheard song.
With an estimated 25% of the world’s fish species, 75% of its coral species found in Indonesia alone, amazing snorkel and dive spots are abundant. Snorkel the city under the sea to get a taste of its wonders, and then suit up with a tank to dive even deeper into its depths. Encounter what hides beneath the waves—every dive opens up new secrets waiting to be discovered.

We have a guide that can take you out to great diving spots just off the bay at Kirana Retreat. Situated along Alas Strait – which is one of the deepest areas in Southeast Asia – you’ll have the opportunity to swim with whale sharks, manta rays and a plethora of other fish. Our Kirana Bay also offers deep underwater caves and schools of tropical fish and corals to explore.
