Crystal Bay
Crystal Bay features a stunning landscape of a long white-sand beach and emerald hills. This dive site offers fantastic visibility and is the ideal place to spot the shy ocean sunfish (Mola-mola). These gentle giants often exceed 3 meters and rise from the deep trenches between Nusa Ceningan and Penida to feed on jellyfish.
At around 6–7 meters you reach a coral plateau with some of the healthiest corals in the Coral Triangle. Be cautious and avoid touching corals due to unpredictable conditions.
Manta Point
The name says it all: Manta Point is full of manta rays (Manta Alfredi) year-round. You’ll also find blue‑spotted rays and colorful hard and soft corals.
Beginners may feel nervous due to the surge at the entry, but it is safe. At 4–5 meters you are very likely to encounter elegant black-and-white mantas feeding in the cleaning station.
The site is covered with hard and soft corals, though coastal currents limit coral growth. It is a shallow dive with a maximum depth of 20 meters.
SD
This dive site is named after a sacred underground temple. Like nearby PED Point, SD is surrounded by seaweed farmers.
It can be a gentle drift dive or a fast one depending on the tide. The topography begins with a shallow coral plateau that drops to extreme depths of around 100 meters.
You will likely see schools of glassfish hiding in cracks, Napoleon wrasses, groupers, lionfish and green turtles feeding on algae.
