Check out the ultimate Scuba Diving day trip to Nusa Penida! This trip is perfect for scuba divers wanting to explore the most iconic dive sites around Nusa Penida while staying in Bali! Explore three dive sites, including Manta Point and Crystal Bay.
Nusa Penida is well-known for its amazing diving. Stunning reefs, amazing drift dives, and, of course, Manta Point, the famous Manta Rays cleaning station.
The Dive Sites
Manta Point
With its colony of manta rays swimming around the cleaning station all year-long, Manta Point is probably the most famous dive site of the island. It is a shallow dive (maximum 15 to 20 meters), protected from currents, so it is accessible to divers of all levels. The dive site can get quite busy, especially in high season, but our captain and guides will make sure to reach the dive site at the optimal time to avoid the crowds!
Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay is the other iconic dive site of Nusa Penida. Located on the northwest side of the island, just across Nusa Ceningan, Crystal Bay is always full of surprises. During the right season (May to October), it is where we have the most chances of seeing the Mola Mola. The reef around Crystal Bay teaming with life and we often spot hawksbill turtles hanging around the dive site.
Northern dive sites
The northern side of the island is home to a huge coral reef. From 5 to 35 meters deep, there are many dive sites to explore. Here you can see green turtles, barracudas, reef sharks, mantis shrimps, clownfish and many more tropical species. The dives in this area are drift dives, so just go with the flow, follow your dive guide, and enjoy the show!
Please note that dive sites may vary depending on conditions at sea.
