Jemeluk Bay Underwater Gallery highlights

The mild currents of the bay make it a popular diving destination. Expect fantastic coral formations, a huge variety of tropical fish, and occasional sightings of green sea turtles. Some of the most prominent sculptures include a giant baby head, beautiful apsara (mythical Hindu water nymphs), mermaids, treasure chests, and a mythical Balinese barong figure.

A longstanding underwater feature at the Jemeluk Bay underwater gallery is a working underwater letterbox, where you can post a card to send back home on your dive. Look for a big yellow dive buoy in the middle of the area – it’s usually about 6 metres straight down from there. You can purchase waterproof postcards from local dive shops along the coast.
