About Close Encounters
Close Encounters is a Pemuteran boat reef with a coral-covered top, steep sloping sides, and a deeper sandy base, so the same site can feel like an easy reef cruise or a more classic slope dive depending on where you spend your time. It is a strong pick for macro life and schooling reef fish, with current and tide deciding how much movement and animal activity you get on the day.
