About This Site
On the north coast of Nusa Penida, the seaweed farmers live along a white sand beach stretching the length of the coast, while beneath the surface the coral reef runs parallel to this magnificent panorama. Choosing one of the several dive sites available, you descend just in front of a primary school (Sekolah Dasar) to dive the SD wall, or in front of a temple to dive the Ped wall, or a bit further you can find the dive site Sental. These sites are topographically very similar; all are characterized by a sloping wall that sinks out towards the dark blue of the ocean and the atmosphere is extraordinary.Once you are ready to descend! Let go of the line and take off for an extreme rock’n’roll drift dive! Open your eyes; look all around, lay back as if you are in a big comfortable chair--including footrest--and don’t move. A festival of colors and emotions will take your breath away, schools of blue (red-toothed) triggerfish bear their teeth and dart about in all directions, hundreds of yellow butterfly fish forage for food and refuge amongst the lettuce corals; drift past giant, current-blown sponges and disproportionately large whip corals as schools of bat fish fly past and ornament the landscape.DIVING INFORMATION :Type of dive: Wall, drift, deep, photography, marine biologyDepth: 10 – 40 metresCertification level required: Certified diverVisibility: 15 – 40 metresCurrent: Moderate to strongAccess: SpeedboatTemperature: 18 - 30⁰ CFlora and fauna: Barracuda, Mola mola, rays, trevally, sweetlips, napoleon wrasse, grouper, sweetlips, trigger fish, banded sea snakeBest time of year: All yearDive site info provided byDune Atlantis Balion Sep 7, 2018
