About Balitown
Balitown is a volcanic-structure dive where corroded lava rock and sandy channels create a town-like layout. The site is known for its stranded fishing-net feature and for small Atlantic life such as trumpetfish, damselfish, octopus, sepia, and occasional rays. It suits relaxed recreational dives that reward steady buoyancy and attention around the rock edges.
