Dive-site story
Karang Sari sits along the northeast coast of Nusa Penida, characterized by a healthy sloping reef that transitions from shallow coral gardens into deeper rubble and sandy terraces. Dives here are typically conducted as drifts, pushed along by currents generated in the Lombok Strait. Diverse hard coral formations cover the slope, sheltering an array of reef dwellers and macro subjects alongside pelagic visitors.
Gentle to swift drift diving along an extensive sloping coral reef
