Located in between Lovina and West Bali National Park is the serene fishing village of Pemuteran which translates to ‘comes back to you'. The biggest attraction here is snorkeling and diving where there are some very distinct sites to check out such as Temple Garden that is an eerie underwater pura complete with Buddha and Ganesha statues and the artificial Biorock reef (a method of restoring coral reefs by using electrical currents on steel framework to stimulate new coral growth) nursery which is the largest in the world.  Early morning dolphin watching and a visit to the turtle hatchery are other worthwhile diversions while here.

Pemuteran Bay is a small laid-back village that has become increasingly popular with visitors in recent years. In the background of the bay are majestic mountaintops; the sea is free of current and perfect for swimming. Pemuteran has the largest area of shallow reefs in Bali. Also its proximity to Menjangan Island snorkel and dive paradise and West Bali National Park together with the extreme natural beauty of the area has fuelled quite rapid growth in tourism infrastructure in the area. There are a number of waterfront resorts, villas and home stays, suitable for all budgets.

The reefs in Pemuteran are very colorful with great looking hard and soft coral, table coral, sponges and gorgonian sea fans mixed with lots of reef fish. The sea has moderate currents so good for all divers and snorkelers. The location of the Temple Garden consists of a small temple complex that works its way back to the Temple Wall. Statues of Buddha, Ganesha, and Turtles are gathered behind an ornate Balinese gateway. Behind the central statue is an interesting little area with Buddha heads covered in cleaning shrimps. Up the wall and in the crevices behind, you can find electric clamps, sparking away. Then at 15m you come to an area with statue heads sitting in communion.
