About Menjangan Island (Pos 2)

Pos 2 is a wall dive on the south side of Menjangan Island, in West Bali National Park. A shallow flat of soft corals and schooling jacks gives way to a wall from about 12 metres, with big gorgonians below 25, small caves and reef sharks and barracuda.

Pos 2, often written Post 2, lies on the south side of Menjangan Island, inside West Bali National Park off Bali's northwest coast. The dive starts on a shallow flat covered in soft corals, where schools of jacks gather, then drops over a wall from about 12 metres.

The wall is covered in huge sea fans and sponges, with large gorgonians below 25 metres, and small caves on its western side make good photo subjects. Great barracuda and reef sharks are often seen, ghost pipefish hide in the coral, and cold upwellings occasionally bring turtles, mantas and even mola mola.

The shallow flat suits newer divers, while the wall rewards experienced divers going deeper.
