Get ready to experience the magic of diving in Nusa Penida Marine Park Area —where vibrant coral reefs, exhilarating drift dives, and breathtaking marine encounters await!
Nestled within a thriving Marine Protected Area (MPA), the waters surrounding Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan offer some of the most biodiverse and ecologically significant dive sites in Indonesia.
From soaring along gentle walls to riding the currents on thrilling drift dives, every site reveals a new facet of the underwater world. Whether you’re hunting for macro critters or scanning the blue for pelagic life, we have it all.
One of the true highlights of diving here is the chance to encounter majestic reef manta rays—all year round! Graceful and curious, these gentle giants glide through the nutrient-rich waters, often circling cleaning stations just a short boat ride from our eco-resort.
For those seeking a rare and unforgettable sighting, the elusive ocean sunfish, or Mola mola, makes its appearance between June and October when cooler currents sweep through the region. This is also peak diving season, with water temperatures ranging from 18 to 23°C—so come prepared! We provide high-quality 5mm full wetsuits with our rentals, but if you’re bringing your own gear, consider adding a hood and rash guard to stay cozy underwater.
Every dive you take here supports marine conservation. The Nusa Penida MPA spans over 200 km² and plays a vital role in safeguarding coral reefs, nurturing fish populations, and preserving the natural heritage of this island ecosystem. Managed through a 20-year sustainability plan, the MPA includes ongoing ecological surveys, community collaboration, and strong commitments to sustainable tourism practices.
At Ceningan Divers, we’re proud to operate with the highest environmental standards. We follow a strict no-touch, no-take policy to protect marine life, and we kindly ask all guests to do the same. Onboard our boats, you’ll find bins for proper waste disposal—we encourage you to help us keep the reefs pristine for generations to come.
Dive with purpose. Explore with heart. Protect what you love.

Lembongan Bay is an ideal site for night dives, beginner divers, or for avid photographers. The sandy bottom is scattered with coral bommies which are home to frog fish, moral eels, lobsters, schools of damselfish and many more of the smaller species.
Description :
Located on the northwest of Nusa Lembongan is the famous Blue Corner dive site. This site offers some of the most extreme condition around the islands. If you are hoping to dive with amazing pelagic like Mola Mola, a school of bullrays, and you are okay with cruising in strong current, look no further.
Description :
Sakenan also known as Jack’s Point or Mangrove. This site is near the mangrove forest to the north east of Nusa Lembongan. The coral slopes gently outwards and has often been compared to diving in a giant underwater aquarium due to the many varieties of reef fish found here!
Description :
Located on the east side of Nusa Ceningan Island. This impressive coral wall at the base of limestone cliffs is fed by nutrient rich waters from the nearby mangroves and upwellings from the deep channel. The colourful coral wall drops vertically to depths beyond recreational diving.
Description :
Toyapakeh is located at the north end of the deep channel between Penida and Ceningan. It offers a steep wall to the south, terraces with huge hard coral bommies in the bay and a terraced reef in the north. We think this is possibly one of the best dives around the area!
Description :
Constant current, very deep towards the Toyapakeh Straight, the current runs along the wall, with a wide variety of tropical fish, which thrive in this current swept environment. Prolific marine life can be found along the wall, along with hard and soft corals and if you are lucky, the mola mola.

This is a good site to discover different invertebrates in the sheltered bay area and if the swell is not too strong, you can spend time between 10-20 meters and look for the macro creatures which inhabit the bay. Big table corals, coral bommies and on the steep slope sponges and whip corals.

Crystal Bay is one of Bali’s most popular dive sites. Located on the southwest of Nusa Penida, this bay with a rocky island in the middle can be an amazing dive site. The inside of the bay is sheltered from the currents and house a colorful reef sloping down to the white sandy bottom.
Description:
Manta rays frequently sighted feeding on plankton near the rocky shore. Normally a calm dive, but occasionally affected by surge. The coral life is not as prolific as other sites, but the mantas make up for it! There are many holes, cracks and overhangs where you will find many different shrimps, crabs & octopus.
