Nusa Penida

Nusa Penida is an island located southeast of Bali, renowned for its marine biodiversity within a 20,000-hectare Marine Protected Area. This area is home to nearly 300 species of healthy soft and hard corals and more than 500 species of reef fish.

The incredible biodiversity of Nusa Penida is largely due to the Indonesian Throughflow, one of the largest movements of water on the planet. The Lombok Strait, between Bali and Lombok, serves as the primary channel through which the Pacific Ocean flows into the Indian Ocean via this massive water movement. Over 2.5 million cubic meters of water pass between the islands every second, allowing almost every marine species in the Pacific to potentially be transported and settle around Penida.

This extraordinary marine biodiversity and unique marine fauna make the pristine waters of Nusa Penida a world-class diving destination with phenomenal dive sites. Among the most popular are Manta Point, where divers can encounter majestic Manta Rays, and Crystal Bay, world-famous for sightings of the Mola Ocean Sunfish (Mola Mola) during the season from late July to early October. The northern regions of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan offer exciting drift diving sites, vibrant reefs, coral gardens, and an abundance of marine life.

Experience the unmatched underwater beauty of Nusa Penida, where every dive promises a new and thrilling adventure.
