Buyuk
One of the side-by-side north-coast sites (with SD, Ped and Pura Mas Gading) that share a sloping reef dotted with big barrel sponges and coral bommies. Red-tooth triggerfish, fusiliers and butterflyfish feed in the current; turtles, rays and banded sea snakes are common, and scorpionfish and frogfish hide in the coral. Usually a slight current, suitable for most divers.
