Breakfast is served from 8 to 11 am. If you miss it, no problem, the restaurant is open all day from 8 am to 11 pm. If you are hungry from diving, you can also have a hot meal in the afternoon, try one of our tasty soups, for example.

In the afternoon Balinese coffee and sweets are served. Dinner is served around 7.30 pm. You can, of course, have your dinner earlier or later. The food varies from typical Indonesian dishes to Thai and European meals. BBQs (fish or meat) or buffets with various Indonesian dishes are also offered regularly.

Dive Information

The underwater world in Bali offers a great variety of species. Located in the southwestern part of the coral triangle, the richness of the coral reefs is unique. More than 3.500 species have been discovered here. The Indonesian current is in charge of transporting plankton to the reefs around Bali. This very important current transports the water from the Pacific Ocean, via Java and Banda Sea, to the Indian Ocean. This optimal geographic situation guarantees the great diversity of fish, coral, and critters; including nudibranchs, rhinopias, ghost pipefish, cowries, boxer crabs, mimic octopus, wonderpus and many more.

The Alam Batu house reef, situated directly off the resort, is a wonderful and mostly untouched reef of over 800 meters. The coral diversity varies from soft corals, black corals, table corals and gorgonians up to 2 meters in diameter. The corals shelter a fantastic underwater world with many schools of fish (including juvenile barracudas, snappers), reef sharks, seahorses, harlequin shrimps and other critters.

With a bit of luck you can also see dolphins, pilot whales and ocean sunfish passing by.

Aside from the beautiful house reef, there are numerous nearby dive sites that offer a variety of diving options including coral diving, muck diving, wreck diving, and awesome night diving. By boat, it only takes 15 minutes to get to the "Liberty" wreck or to the famous dive spots "Drop off", "Ulami" and "Coral Garden" in Tulamben.

Alam Batu is also an outstanding place for macro photographers. Our dive guides are great at spotting micro critters such as pygmy sea horses and other small species.
