Nusa Menjangan is a 1,5km long and 500m wide island in the north-western Bali national park. The island is a game reserve park for birds and the under water world around it. Only a limited amount of divers are allowed to visit the island daily. All dive sites are only a short boat trip away.
The reef surrounds the island at a depth of 1 to 10m and stretches out for about 20 meters before dropping almost vertically to a depth of 40m.
The western end features a deep lagoon with a slightly stronger current. Around Nusa Menjangan currents are usually weak to moderate. Menjangan is a perfect spot for beginners and a magnificent spot for snorkeling. Menjangan's underwater world surely deserves to be listed as one of the world's top dive sites. According to a coral count performed by Jacques-Yves Cousteau, this small island alone features more coral species than the entire Caribbean! Napoleon fish, turtles, bump head parrotfish and grouper are commonly seen. In deeper water you may be able to say “hello” to white tip- and black tip reef sharks and barracudas. Lucky divers will find eagle rays, sunfish and even whale sharks. Menjangan is a bit off the main tourist routs but it is definitely a highly recommendable dive- and snorkeling site.
Menjangan island is unpopulated, but there is an old temple, supposed to originated from 14th century named " Pura Giri Kencana." During the expedition of Majapahit kingdom of Java in 1343 AD, it is believed that a boat was wrecked with their relics are still on sea bed. It is believed to have the magic influence.
