Dive-site story
Running along the eastern flank of Nusa Ceningan, this steep vertical drop-off plunges into the deep channel separating Ceningan from Nusa Penida. Divers drift alongside rock faces encrusted with orange soft corals, whip corals, and barrel sponges. The passage funnels swift tidal flows, delivering pelagic species while demanding careful buoyancy control.
