Welcome to Nusa Penida
Where the Reef Meets the Wild
Just off Bali’s southeastern coast lies an underwater gem—Nusa Penida. Dramatic cliffs above, thriving reefs below. It’s one of the few places on Earth where you can dive with manta rays year-round, drift through crystal-clear waters, and—if you’re lucky—catch a glimpse of the elusive Mola Mola (sunfish).
Your base for this journey is Mambo Dive Resort, a beachfront boutique stay with direct access to dive sites and panoramic ocean views. Whether you’re here for macro critters or pelagic giants, Nusa Penida delivers.
Where You’ll Be Diving
Manta Point
The island’s most iconic dive site with year-round manta sightings. Glide alongside gentle giants as they circle the cleaning stations.
Crystal Bay
A top spot for Mola Mola sightings during the season. Expect cooler waters, deeper dives, and a chance to see something truly rare.
SD Point
Known for high-speed drift dives, vibrant reefs, and schools of fish sweeping past in a colorful blur.
PED & Toyapakeh
Gentle slopes and coral gardens teeming with life—perfect for relaxed dives and spotting reef critters.
