of Nusa Penida is known for its magic.
Nusa Penida, the
largest of the 3 Sisters Island, along with Lembongan
and Ceningan, offers the chance to see turtles, shark,
mola-mola, and healthy reefs in fantastic visibility.
However, the currents are fast and unpredictable so you
must go, not only with a reputable dive operator, but
also with a guide who knows how to 'read' the currents.
Most of the diving is along the north and northeast coasts
and in the strait between Nusa Penida and Ceningan. Manta
Point is located off the southwest of the island.
