About Napoleon Reef
Napoleon Reef is a boat-accessed reef off Pemuteran with a gently sloping profile and a flat top. The shallow reef is rich in hard and soft coral, while the deeper slope gives experienced divers more to explore. It works well as a relaxed Bali reef dive when currents stay light and visibility is good. Expect barracuda, wrasse, parrotfish, moray eels, nudibranchs, octopus, eagle rays, cuttlefish, and whitetip reef sharks.
