Ferry Channel

Easy access and small sleeping white tips in the heart of Padang Bai, next to the ferries to Lombok.

The Ferry Channel is located in Padang Bai, about 100 meters from the beach. Due to the big ferries at the harbor, it can become noisy underwater, and visibility may drop to less than 10 meters. It’s a great spot to dive with small white-tip reef sharks, which can often be seen napping during the day in caves.
