MENJANGAN ISLAND

About the Island
Menjangan Island - the name means "deer" - hangs just off shore of the mountainous point in far northwestern Bali, 30 minutes by boat from Mimpi Resort Menjangan. Because the island is in a protected position, currents and wind-generate waves are rarely a bother, and the reefs here offer fine diving, particularly for beginning and intermediate divers. Occasionally, the water can be crystal clear - a snorkeler, distinct, 50 meters above you - and the rest of the time visibility seldom drops to less than 25 meters.

The island is part of the Bali Barat National Park, a protected reserve area that encompasses much of Bali's little-populated western end. Although the best diving in Menjangan is said to be April through November (during the southeast moonsoon), the island can be dived year -round as it offers some of the most protected diving in Bali. The clarity of the water can, at times, be amazing, and the best in Bali - October through November often has horizontal visibility of 50M+. A current of more than one knot is unusual.
