Diving at the Pedang Bai Pier in Bali is an experience not to be missed when you are in Bali.

It’s probably one of the best dive sites there. The water is calm. It’s excellent for macro photography. Great viz and lends itself to good muck diving photography.

Schools of hundreds of fish swarming and moving as one, like a flock of birds.  You can watch them for hours. I’m always astonished at how they manage to synchronize so well.

And then there are the nudibranchs and slugs, with all their wonderful shapes and colours. You can spend hours diving on a very small area, just by looking at all the small things.

Scorpion fish, leaf or paper fish, devil fish, stone fish. All part of a very large family of, at first, really unattractive fish.

But, very interesting in that they have so many shapes.Once you start looking at all the different kinds and shape, they become very interesting and even pretty.

This video is only not even scraping the surface of a family of a very large variety of fish.

Gurnards and Sea moths are weird fish. Skimming the bottom of the sea bed. Sometimes at great speeds and then diving into the dust.

Octopus and Cuttlefish are the great magicians of the sea. Changing shapes and colors constantly.

They never cease to amaze and are always guaranteed to give a stunning display.
