Menjangan Island
West Bali’s best kept secret Dive site
West Bali’s best kept secret Dive site
Surrounded by unspoilt white sandy beaches, stunning coral reefs, and
enchanting underwater, environment Menjangan Island is a perfect
definition of what natural beauty is all about. Located about 10Km North
West off the shore of Bali’s mainland, the small island of Menjangan
forms part of the West Bali National Park Conservation Area. The word
"Menjangan" in the Javanese language means "Deer", the name was given by
the local population who observed wild deer herds swimming to the
island every spring covering a distance of approx 1.2 miles.
This small island is actually where diving first started seriously on Bali back in about 1978 under the sponsorship of the Indonesian Navy, when it arranged a get-together of the country’s main diving clubs -Possi, Ganesha, Nusantara, and Trisakti. That get-together led to Menjangan establishing itself as the premier international dive location in Bali and many of the attendees went on to become the pioneers of commercial dive operations across Indonesia.
