Bias Tugel – Where bamboo sharks, mola mola, and nudibranchs await beneath the waves

Just around the corner from Padangbai’s harbor, tucked behind a white-sand beach, lies a dive site that’s quietly stealing the hearts of divers: Bias Tugel. Known for its beautiful reef slope, macro life, and occasional big surprises, it’s one of those rare places where both beginner photographers and seasoned explorers find joy beneath the surface.

At Zero Gravity Diving Bali, we love taking our guests here—not only because of the marine life, but because the entire journey is smooth, seamless, and fully operated by us.
