Balinese split gates, Ganesha and guardian figures set on a reef in 12-29m, plus the world's largest Biorock coral-restoration array, electrified steel frames blazing with regrown coral. Temple architecture and reef engineering in one dive. Built from 2005 onward by local villagers and the Karang Lestari project after dynamite and cyanide fishing wrecked the bay. The temple garden gives the reef spiritual protection; the Biorock frames grow coral 3-5x faster than normal. Pemuteran has won UN environmental awards for it. Anchorage: Anchor in Pemuteran Bay in sand, calm, north-coast shelter. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
