Suci Place, Bali, Indonesia
4.5 (24 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Tulamben Reefs
Interesting Dive Site
Over the years "Suci Place" is created by Matahari Tulamben Resort, Dive & SPA together with the TEAM from the Dive Center. The idea was to have an own housereef and give other divers a new dive spot in Tulamben. Without sponsoring from outside! Only when we put the stupas (because of to heavy) we got help from the dive organisation and the fishermen (with the jukungs) in Tulamben. The place got the name “SUCI” because the translation to Indonesian language means “holy”. We startet in 2012 until 2017 and we still continue. In the moment we have in the project like this: Several Statues from Hindu Gods: Brahma, Wisnu, Siwa, Saraswati, Sri, DURGA, Baruna, Ganesha, Different Buddha Statues (sitting and laying) From Mahabaratha Epos: Arjuna and Drupadi 6 Stupas 2 security lions 3 small temple 6 objects similar like stupas several artefacts for make a boarder and projects from iron to grow corals. The place is very populare for all inhabitants of the ocean. From small critters, all kind of fishes, giant moray eel and even Mola Mola was meeting there.

Suci Place - Matahari house reef that will continue to get better
Suci Place is a shore dive directly in front of and creatd by the Matahari Resort Dive and Spa. The dive is an easy, leisurely dive amonst statues, stupa's and other man made objects designed to encourage coral growth and fishlife to make a home. The entrance is directly in front of the Matahari Resort, which has also provided a rope to hold onto assisting in entering an exiting the water. A very thoughtful addition as the rocks are the same type as the USAT Liberty and the rest of the beach. Round, loose under foot and can be slippery. The site is more than large enough to spend 40 minute to over an an hour exploring and is still growing with hard and soft corals taking hold on the statues and structures and things to search for on the black sand. Others have mentioned currents however we didn't encounter any on our dives and thoroughly enjoyed our dives at Suci Place. The site is starting to show its potential as a macro site worth diving for its own sake, not just an alternative to the Liberty or Drop Off. Congratulations Matahari Resort.

a great starting point to a trip of great dives here
After a five year break from diving, I was a bit anxious returning to it again, but the staff of Matahari Dive center helped ease my mind by being attentive to my limitations and patient while I reacquainted myself with my long lost skills, helping me retrieve my confidence to enjoy diving again. Two thumbs up! I love the Buddha statues and the interesting sea life around here -- definitely gave the dive a very special zen vibe and was a peaceful start for more great dives to follow. This place is a must!
