Mocean Beach ResortResort

Mocean Beach Resort is a PADI Resort in West Sumbawa, Indonesia, built around reefs that see few divers. A manta cleaning station lies close by, black and white tip reef sharks cruise the walls, and young eagle rays feed on the house reef. Smaller finds include octopus, ghost pipefish, ribbon eels and plenty of nudibranchs.

Dives start from a traditional boat about 17 meters long, with sunbathing decks and the necessary safety gear. On land, the resort was designed by divers, with a wet area, private lockers and a spacious air-conditioned room for camera gear. The team speaks English and Indonesian and also runs conservation programs.
