Dive sites around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida

The three islands sit inside a marine protected area where the Lombok Strait pushes cool, nutrient-rich water past the reefs. That current is what brings the manta rays and mola mola, and it is why most dives here are drift dives. Each guide below gives you the depth, the current and the level, so you know what to expect before the briefing.

Wildlife is never guaranteed. The mola season shifts a little each year with the cold water.
