Competition Dive Sites
Four primary competition zones plus three reserve sites (weather alternates) across Pemuteran Bay and the North-West Bali coast. Confirmed in the Indonesia-specific rules (v1.2).
The Four Competition Sites
Two shore-access sites in Pemuteran Bay and two boat sites further along the coast. Sites are allocated to teams by draw on the training day.
Biorock
The Karang Lestari Biorock reef restoration in Pemuteran Bay — low-voltage mineral-accretion structures grown over two decades. Shore entry, sheltered, a landmark macro and wide-angle site. Distinct from the Agung Prana Reef restoration site.
Agung Prana Reef
The Natglue reef restoration project led by marine scientist Kadek Fendi Wirawan, sitting in front of the Sea Esta by Ananda Villas beachfront. Nearly 1,700 coral fragments out-planted; more than four in five surviving. Agung Prana Reef →
Napoleon Reef
Named for the resident Napoleon (Humphead) wrasse that patrol its slope. Napoleon Reef →
Bio Wreck
A purpose-sunk artificial reef structure now colonised with coral and soft coral growth — a distinctive backdrop for wide-angle work. Bio Wreck →
Three Weather Alternates
If conditions require it, competition dives switch to one of these three reserve sites. The final call sits with the LOC Championship Director in consultation with the boat captains and safety team.
Close Encounters
A varied Pemuteran Bay reef named for the diversity of resident species. Close Encounters →
Deep Reef
A deeper Pemuteran Bay wall — suits Wide-Angle categories in the right visibility. Deep Reef →
Jetty
The Pemuteran Jetty — a favourite for macro and structure shots under piling shade. Jetty →
Site allocation and specific dive orders on competition days are set at the technical meeting on 5 October.
