Kubu Dive Sites

Kubu Boga Shipwreck is the newest shipwreck diving site in Bali, it was sunk in 2012. So how did a Dutch cargo ship end up becoming one of Bali’s most fascinating underwater dive sites? Although originally it sunk only at 32, due to natural circumstances the ship shifted deeper to the ocean. Previously a Dutch cargo ship, this 40 meters shipwreck is lying on the ocean at 16-39 meters deep.

The ship is still mostly intact. Thus, divers can still see clearly the integrity of the ship. Some key points to see are the steering wheel, used dive tanks, and even a sunken VW car. But due to the conditions and depth of the dive, make sure you have advanced diver lisence before visiting Kubu Shipwreck.
