Diving Center
The newly renovated and enlarged diving centre is managed by Werner Lau.
The house reef
There is a very good house reef directly in front of the diving centre. Beach dives, night dives and also the free
water dives during instruction are all possible, No matter, how many times you dive here, even experienced divers
will always encounter something new by each dive. A paradise for under water photographers!
The reef covers the total width of the Hotel area and is a designated conservation area. - the first of its’ kind
in Bali. The government agreed to this wish as an experiment. The fishermen in this area use no nets, cyanide or
harpoons. The underwater world here is intact.
The shallow area, maximal 6 m deep, goes out to about 50 m from the beach and, by calm sea this makes a great snorkelling
area. After that, the bottom drops away at approx. 45° to greater depths.
This intact reef is alternately made up of standing blocks of corals, small drop-offs, coral plateaus and complete
reef walls, overgrown with various kinds of soft and hard corals and Gorgonians as well as sponges.
The sandy areas in between invites you to linger - ideal for macro photographers and beginners. There is a splendid
diversity of tropical fish life as well as individual blue-spotted rays, leaf fish, moray eels, lion fish, long-nose
hawkfish, ghost pipefish, pygmy seahorses, shrimps and several types of sea slug. Numerous shoals of fish such
as barracudas and batfish, as well as a family of napoleon fish inhabit the house reef. Sometimes we even see turtles,
passing eagle rays and during the night dives, Spanish dancers can often be seen.
Strong currents are rare and the water temperature varies according to the time of year between 27° and 29°C.
Equipment
The new diving center is 50 m from the beach and will be equipped - as are all WERNER-LAU-diving centres - to cater
for the special requirements and desires of the divers.
In order to meet all demands, there is always enough equipment available for hire. e.g. :
30 BCD Jackets (Scubapro )
30 Regulators with octopus, depth gauge and inflator (Scubapro)
60 Sets comprising of mask, fins and snorkel (Seemann)
30 wetsuits (3 mm Shorties)
20 dive computers (Aladin)
10 underwater torches
2 underwater cameras
1 underwater video camera
To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we have 60 Aluminium tanks (12 liter, DIN + INT) available. The tanks
are filled from a Bauer Compressor.
A well equipped workshop is also available for use by the guests if needed. The members of our staff are always
ready to give advice or lend a helping hand.
Privately-owned equipment
Both the privately-owned and the hired equipment are kept in the diving centre and will be loaded onto the boats
or cars by members of our staff, who at the end of the trip will also bring the equipment back, rinse everything
in fresh water and store all the equipment in the diving centre.
By this all round service, the guests have more time to relax.

The best known diving spot in Bali is in TULAMBEN – Only 30 minutes from the diving centre away by car. Here is
the fascinating wreck of the “Liberty” to which we offer regular trips (Car). A spectacular spot for early-morning
