Kalimaya Resort Diving
Step out from your lovely beachfront bungalow into some of the best dive sites in the world. At Kalimaya Dive Resort you can enjoy an extensive selection of activities including some of the best scuba diving in Indonesia with our stay and scuba packages, PADI scuba diving courses, trekking, and a variety of watersports.
Whether you are diving or snorkelling amongst our stunning coral reefs, recharging while relaxing by the pool, wandering the sandy beach, or enjoying a cold beverage in the restaurant lounge, Kalimaya Dive Resort is there to serve all your needs.
Please note that Kalimaya Dive Resort was designed for divers. We encourage partners of divers who prefer to join and do not dive, but we do not accept couples and groups on a purely non-diving basis only.
Muck & Macro
Macro/muck diving is a style of diving where we explore a reef environment to find the weird but wonderful life forms that inhabit these sandy reefs. Our house reef has already provided the following: Bumblebee Shrimp, Paddleflap Rhinopia, Lacy Rhinopia, Candy Crabs, Starry Night Octopus and Bobtail squid among others. Sangean Volcano provides a breeding ground for every nudibranch possible (we counted 35 species on our last visit!) along with Wunderpus, Frogfish and so much more… We recommend Kalimaya House Reef, Lapponia, Pipefish City, Disco Doris and any site located on Sangean Volcano.
Currents
Current diving is what the Komodo National Park and Gili Banta are particularly famous for. This style of diving includes drift dives, where we can explore a vast expanse of the reef while letting the current push us along, and pinnacle dives where we stay in one spot to allow the currents to wash past us, bringing in nutrients and big schools of fish. These areas are bringing to us bigger, pelagic creatures including but not limited to blacktip, whitetip and grey reef sharks, oceanic and reef manta rays, mobula rays, eagle rays, schooling tuna and jackfish to name a few… Highlights include Galley Rock, Mexican Hat, Rollercoaster, Pannetonne Wall and The Waterfalls.
Corals
Coral diving is a wonderfully relaxed way to explore the beautiful underwater gardens and coral reef habitats near Kalimaya Dive Resort. Here we take our time to explore sloping reefs, walls, pinnacles, and caverns to enjoy the flora and fauna of these underwater jungles. Think stag-horn corals where mandarin fish like to mate, to elephant ear coral where we have a chance to see bumblebee shrimps – even on our house reef. Get ready to be amazed by some of the healthiest corals in the world which beautiful reef fish and turtles call home. Kalimaya Canyon, Roger’s Reef, Easter Island and J’s Dream are particular sweet spots in this category.
