About Sanur Beach
Sanur Beach is a shallow Bali shore site in Sanur Bay near Banjar Semawang, with a sand bottom, scattered coral patches, and a gentle channel edge that makes it useful for beginner scuba and easy snorkeling. The site is tide-timed rather than deep, so the cleanest entry and easiest conditions are usually on the rising water before the day's highest high tide. It works well as a simple training or relaxed sightseeing dive when the beach and tide line up.
