Dive-site story
Situated along the northeast coast of Nusa Penida, Batu Nunggul features an extensive reef slope blanketed in hard and soft corals. Strong tidal currents typical of the Lombok Strait sweep parallel to the shoreline, turning most dives into sustained drift dives. The deeper sections of the slope give way to sand channels where pelagic visitors often pass in the blue.
Fast-paced drift diving over a sprawling coral slope
Frequent encounters with green and hawksbill sea turtles feeding along the reef
Seasonal opportunities to spot oceanic sunfish rising from deep upwellings
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Dry season brings optimal visibility, with the colder upwellings between July and October providing the highest chance for mola sightings.
