The three islands lying off Bali's South East coast are home to gorgeous corals and prolific marine life. The main attraction, apart from the sweeping coral reefs, is the Mola Mola or Oceanic Sunfish and the Manta rays.
The Mola Mola, or Oceanic Sunfish, host their seasonal migrations to these islands. The best time of the year to see these huge creatures is between July and October although they can be seen occasionally outside these times. Our guides are well rehearsed in locating these creatures that tend to congregate around a few sites, namely Blue Corner, Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh.
The Manta rays can be seen all year round at Manta point but it relies heavily on conditions.
The majority of diving at Nusa Penida is drift-diving and the currents are not always predictable. The majority of sites are for experienced divers although there are a number of beautiful sites for all level of divers.

Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay is aptly named due to its fantastic visibility. This site consists of a fantastic little bay in shallow water that offers excellent opportunities for photos, before sliding down into deep drop offs. Superb coral is only matched by the equally superb marine life.
Blue Corner
Blue Corner has to be one of Bali's most famous sites. This site is flushed with currents and stretches down to some very unsociable depths. However, on the right day, at the right time, you will be amazed at the marine life. Mola Mola, in season, love to hang out here! You will also find Marbel rays, Eagle rays, nurse sharks, dogtooth tuna, to name but a few. Experienced divers only on this site!
