To See Incredible Reefs and Fantastic Marine Life:
All year round!
We are fortunate enough to have very healthy coral reefs and a huge variety of creatures that live in and around them available to us for twelve months of the year. The visibility is nearly always good to excellent. From the months of June to October the water can be cooler and a 5 mm wetsuit is advisable.
To See the Manta Rays:
Mantas can be seen all year round in the south of Nusa Penida.
The Mantas tend to congregate around Batu Lumbung (Manta Point). This is a wild and remote area with dramatic sea cliffs rearing three hundred feet into the sky. As the Mantas swim close to the cliffs, access is not always easy, especially when the swell is high. The best times to visit Manta Point are when the seas are calm from November through to May. However, it is a place to be avoided if the swell gets above two metres!
To See the Mola Mola:
The Mola Mola are around for four months of the year.
The best time to see the Mola Mola is between the beginning of July and the end of October. There are sightings on either side of these months, but generally these are less frequent. Mola Mola can be seen at most of our dive sites, but Crystal Bay and Blue Corner are where they like to congregate!
