Artificial reef and typical depth context.
A shore-access Bali muck site with calm currents, black-sand terrain, and strong macro-photography appeal.
About Ghost Bay
Ghost Bay is a walk-in muck site right in front of the Amed dive center, built for patient macro hunting and slow camera work. The terrain mixes black sand, artificial reef pieces, gentle slopes, and nearby coral patches, so the reward is in tiny subjects rather than big scenery. It works for day or night dives and is best on calm, easy days when the entry and surface stay relaxed.

Key Hazards

Safety Notes
Move slowly and keep your trim off the bottom. The site rewards careful eyes, but stonefish and scorpionfish are part of the habitat, so hands off the rubble and reef pieces.

Legal Notes
Standard shore-access rules apply; use a guide or local briefing so you do not disturb the artificial reef and critter habitat.
