We also have Crystal bay which very famous for the Mola (Sun Fish) sighting (Mola Season Ideally on July – October), but if we are extremely lucky we could see it apart from the season. As for the other sites most of them will be drift diving which are around the northern side of Nusa Penida Island. You will be back at our dive center around 4.00 – 4.30 pm. As this area can be affected by strong currents we require a minimum of 30 logged dives for all fun divers.

Manta Point
Manta Point on the southwest of Nusa Penida is another of Bali’s most frequently visited dive sites regardless of session or climate for manta rays. Here, divers can enjoy close encounters with many of these majestic animals whether snorkelling or diving all year round. Tides and conditions can vary in this area due to its exposed position to the and the Indian Ocean making it a great place to enjoy other pelagics such as reef sharks, tuna and other larger fish.

Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay is situated on the west coast of Nusa Penida and is one of the most famous dive sites in Bali. The stunning hard coral gardens and huge coral bommies provide an excellent environment for fish and other marine life. Here you can spot an array of angelfish, butterfly fish, anthias, garden eels, tuna, sharks, surgeonfish, and schooling bannerfish near the edge of the drop off. If you are lucky you can have close encounters with the great mola-mola when in season.
