3 Dives - Nusa Penida/Manta Point & Mola Mola Areas

Prices are per person, based on minimum 2 divers. 1 person possible at additional cost. What makes these Day Trips so special is that they are to dive sites we reserve for these exclusive day trips. Dive Sites visited are not always part of AquaMarine's Day Trip schedule. For certain trips such as our Mola-Mola and Manta Point Trips, what makes them special is the marinelife you may see - unique and unusual Ocean sunfish or soaring squadrons of Manta rays. Nusa Penida is the largest of three islands (Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan). The water here is fairly cold but often startlingly clear, with gorgeous corals and prolific fish, occasional turtles, reef sharks and in July to November Mola-Mola (the weird and wonderful sunfish). Manta Point: This area of the coastline features dramatic limestone cliffs that descend straight into the ocean. The swell can be stupendous, sometimes making entry impossible by mid-morning. There is a sandy bottom at 12-18m. The water is quite cold because it comes in from the ocean (22-26 degrees). In addition to manta ray, you may also see other pelagics such as tuna and tiger mackerel.This is the area where the pelagics come in to feed. Mantas are 2-4m in width and are harmless plankton-eaters. Crystal Bay: At this site the hard coral reef has a white sand base covered with anemones and soft corals. The marine life includes angelfish, sweetlips, giant frog fish and many Moorish idols. Following the north side of the bay around we come to a Bat Cave. Depending on conditions, you can enter from underwater and surface inside the cave (which is open to the sky) where bats sleep overhead. Occasionally 2 small reef sharks are in the cave, but they leave when you arrive! Continuing along the (very deep) wall 20-24m the hard corals provide homes for a lot of lobster. Mola Mola Season from July to November. Mantas can be seen all year round. If you have any questions, we can answer those through GetMyBoat’s messaging platform before you pay.
