Boat trip to Nusa Penida

Trip through a lively sea across the Badung Strait (about 40 minutes) to Nusa Penida for 3 dives, starting at Manta Point, then around to SD Point and finally Lenbongan Bay (see map). Absolutely tremendous diving, firstly at Manta Point we saw, not surprisingly Manta Rays, at least 10 separate sightings circa 3 to 4 metres tip to tip, circling around and around, quite a spectacle with a but of patience and care, right up to them. SD Point and Lenbongan Bay are both Drift dives, a very healthy current at the first, perhaps a good jogging pace, took us at a rare old lick along the coast over amazing coral for several kilometres. The second slightly milder current laterly slowing up as we reached slack tide, the currents through these parts required a lot of knowledge and respect. Sightings included Giant Barracuda, Banded Sea Snake, a turtle, Giant Trevalley and Puffer fish. All in all a day to remember !
