Candidasa Facts
 This
is the gateway to eastern Bali and is developing as a popular
tourist destination. The beach had once been washed away due
to coral picking but this has now stopped, and the coral is
returning. This peaceful tourist village has plenty of accommodation
and entertainment although all diving is from boats based
in Padang Bai, 30 mins south.
The diving here is drift-diving and, due to the sometimes
fierce currents, is for advanced divers. All the reefs are
extremely healthy with great diversity of invertebrate and
fish life. Tepekong's Canyon has dramatic underwater structure
and is usually full of fish; Mimpang is the best place in
Bali to see shark and Biaha has rich wall and slope dives.
