dog point sanur, bali

Dog Point is a beginner-friendly dive site in Sanur, South Bali, offering an easy and relaxed shore dive along a sandy slope dotted with coral patches and artificial reef structures. Located just offshore from Sanur's calm lagoon, the site provides sheltered conditions ideal for training dives and new divers taking their first breaths underwater. Despite its gentle profile, the critter life here is surprisingly rich—look for nudibranchs on rubble patches, seahorses clinging to rope lines, and cuttlefish hovering over the sandy bottom. Schooling catfish create mesmerizing formations in the shallows, while pipefish and ghost pipefish hide among seagrass beds. Night dives at Dog Point reveal Spanish dancers, bobtail squid, and hunting lionfish. This unassuming Sanur dive site proves that Bali's underwater treasures extend beyond the famous sites of Tulamben and Nusa Penida, offering convenient critter hunting just minutes from the island's tourist heartland.
